2025 Can-Am Outlander 850 and 1000 Gallery

Every photo we have of the new big-bore ATV.

October 14, 2024

The 2025 Can-Am Outlander 850 and 1000 are here, and we have plenty of photos of the all-new big-bore ATVs. With better suspension, more ground clearance, a fresh transmission, and more power than before, these are the top of the Can-Am ATV food chain. Check out the photos from our ride in British Columbia, Canada.

Let’s start with the Outlander XT-P 1000R. Think of it as the party animal of the family.Can-Am

All Outlander 1000s make 101 hp from the same 999cc V-twin engine as the 850. The extra grunt comes from ECU changes.Can-Am

But XT-P trim gets you all sorts of other fun stuff. Beadlock wheels, orange accents everywhere, beefy handlebars, and Fox QS3 shocks, for starters.Can-Am

That front bumper already has tabs for your light bar or light pods.Can-Am

The beadlocks not only look the business, they’re functional, letting you air down for maximum traction.Can-Am

Can-Am really nailed the details on the Outlander 850 and 1000. We love these big, wide toe boxes.Can-Am

The big ATVs borrow elements from their smaller 500 and 700 siblings, including these excellent LED lights.Can-Am

Other notable differences between the 850 and the 1000? The 1000 benefits from a front sway bar, larger radiator, and four disc brakes.Can-Am

We can’t say it enough: These machines shift great. Dropping through the gears is a two-finger affair. No more yanking with all your body weight just to get the rig out of park.Can-Am

The cockpit is all-day comfortable, thanks in part to this wide seat. It narrows nicely at the tank, making it easy to maneuver for sportier riding.Can-Am

The riding in British Columbia was insane. Beautiful lakes, endless forests, and miles of uninterrupted trails.Can-Am

The Outlanders use a Can-Am X3-inspired exhaust outlet, but the muffler is nice and civil. Engineers said they worked to highlight the noises riders wanted to hear and downplay the ones they didn’t. You have a nice, present engine note, but the vehicle is otherwise quiet.Can-Am

Looks right at home.Can-Am

The new LED lighting package is excellent, cutting through dusk gloom and dust alike.Can-Am

Engineers lowered the vehicle’s roll center, which makes for a much more stable machine. Despite its size, it rides like a much smaller machine.Can-Am

King of the mountain.Can-Am

XT-P trim uses tapered aluminum handlebars.Can-Am

The instrument cluster on lower trims is nothing to write home about, especially compared to Ride Command–equipped competition from Polaris, but the gauges get the job done.Can-Am

There’s no denying this is a handsome machine.Can-Am

There is no shortage of accessories, including storage for the front rack.Can-Am

XT-P trim’s orange springs are a nice touch.Can-Am

Fox QS3 shocks are never a bad choice, and they do the Lord’s work on the Outlander, letting you get away with antics that shouldn’t be possible on a machine this size.Can-Am

Can-Am worked to make the Outlander maintenance-friendly. The seat, side panels, and instrument cluster are all removable without tools.Can-Am

The redesigned CVT gearbox features a larger primary pulley for smoother engagement.Can-Am

Handlebar controls are standard fare. They’re clear and easy to use.Can-Am

Can-Am says more than 90 accessories carry over from the previous generation.Can-Am

Now let’s get into the Outlander 850.Can-Am

Smaller 26-inch tires set the 850 apart from its larger brother.Can-Am

But that doesn’t mean the 850 is a slouch anywhere you chose to ride it. Even without the front sway bar and Fox QS3 shocks, the machine’s a ripper.Can-Am

In fact, Can-Am says the Outlander 850 is quicker to 60 mph than the Polaris Sportsman XP 1000.Can-Am

The 850 shares the same excellent LED lighting.Can-Am

The 850 and 1000 also share capacities, including a front rack good for 120 pounds, a rear rack good for double that, and a 1,830-pound towing capacity.Can-Am

Can you feel the difference in shocks between the two vehicles? Absolutely, but most riders won’t care.Can-Am

We love the big 2-inch receiver with provisions for trailer safety chains.Can-Am

Even down trims are handsome machines.Can-Am

DPS trim, pictured here, gets you power steering, but no front bumper or winch.Can-Am

One available accessory? A weather-resistant Bluetooth stereo.Can-Am
