The Can-Am Outlander X mr family, the largest and most distinguished mud lineup in the industry, includes four ATVs complete with class-leading power, functional engineering and a menacing appearance. New for 2017 is the Triple Black Can-Am Outlander X mr 1000R ATV with FOX 1.5 Podium QS3 piggyback shocks and new 14-inch (35.6 cm) aluminum wheels. The 89 hp, 80-degree 976cc liquid-cooled, eight-valve Rotax V-twin engine in the Outlander X mr 1000R ATV leads the ATV industry in performance. The CVT (continuously variable transmission) means no shifting is required. The system includes standard engine braking with high, low, park, neutral and reverse gears. The CVT housing has 13 bolts to ensure a proper seal and also includes an inte- grated drain plug. The Outlander X mr 1000R ATV includes an extra low range "L-gear" with a softer engage- ment and improved throttle control for low- speed riding and better traction in heavy mud. Can-Am has made sure that critical com- ponents like the CVT intake and engine intake are located as high as possible on the ATV. They are placed in the pod directly in front of the handlebars and high above the muddy, wet conditions below. Located on the front rack, the larger radiator on the Can-Am Outlander X mr is kept out of the muddy water and wears a protective, vented cover, ensuring all-day rides in the deep mud. The X mr family of ATVs have their no-tools air box placed at a high and centralized location for filtering and processing air. A dual-room air filtration design captures dirty air in one por- tion of the box and clean air in another section before it sends the air to the engine. A higher air intake ensures performance in mud and water. The Outlander X mr offers a sizeable, 1,300- pound (590 kg) towing capacity and a 2-inch receiver hitch as standard equipment. To bolster Can-Am Off-Road performance in 2017, all-new FOX Podium QS3 shocks come standard on nine Can-Am side-by-side vehicles and four Can-Am ATVs. Addition- ally, the Maverick Turbo vehicle now shares the successful technologies of its CVT with Quick Response System (QRS) with the new Maverick X mr and new Maverick MAX X mr side-by-side vehicles. All Can-Am Commander and Maverick side-by-side models also come with a new front sway bar for 2017.
