All the seats are about the same. You get a generously padded saddle that narrows toward the front, good for a long day’s ride. Handlebars are high and wide, a good neutral setting that most riders will find comfortable. Each includes mudguards and fender flares as standard. Footwells are large and protective. The Outlander X MR includes wide-body plastics that stretch out further to add extra mud protection. The stitched seat on the X XC can provide a tad more grip for the seat of the pants during fast running.

All but the Outlander X XC come with a 3,500-pound-capacity winch. All include a 5.4-gallon fuel tank and a 5.7-liter rear storage compartment.

The Outlander XT and XT-P include both front and rear racks. They can handle 100 pounds and 200 pounds, respectively. The Outlander X XC and X MR do away with the front racks, including only the 200-pound-rated rear rack. Each ATV is rated for 1,650 pounds of towing with the standard rear receiver hitch.

The dated, monochrome, 4.5-inch digital display on the Outlander XT 1000R gets the job done, but at these prices it needs to go away. The Outlander X XC, XT-P, and X MR 1000R models get the much nicer 7.6-inch display. Speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip- and hourmeters, gear position, 4x4 indicator, temperature, engine status lights, electronic fuel gauge, and clock are all present on the rider’s dash cluster.

The air filter box is accessible without the use of tools. After that, Can-Ams like regular maintenance, but the ATVs make some regular service tasks more time consuming than some other brands. There are plentiful grease zerks, and some owners say brake pads wear quickly no matter how much they spend on pads. Then again, they are slowing the most powerful engine of any ATV. The CVT transmission will require occasional drive belt inspection and replacement.
