2023 Can Am Renegade 650 and Lineup Changes!

Can Am made some changes to the Renegade lineup this year including the addition of a Renegade 650 to the US market!

[@dirttraxtv]

Love the Outlander 650. Sad to see it go and hope Can-Am brings it comes back.

[@DirtObseXXion]

Agreed! I loved the review you guys did on it a couple years back! Thanks DT!

@@DirtObseXXion Thanks man. I wish we kept that machine. It was awesome. One of the nicest trail bangers I've ridden. 👌

[@earlgunman6325]

I'll take the Raptor any day. The manual with a clutch will always be more fun than just putting it in gear and going. It wouldn't matter if it was a true direct comparison and basically identical to the Raptor in every way except the transmission, I'm still going for the Raptor.

[@reemer911]

I thought that also until I kept getting stuck everywhere the SXS ruts get deeper and deeper so now I have a scrambler at 850 and a raptor 660 Having both isn't a bad thing

I had a 21 Renegade 570. A very cool machine and so I think the 650 will be fun and right for some but there’s never going to be a comparison between a true sport quad with a solid rear axel and a 4x4. Solid rear axel and manual every time. 🤙🏽⚡️

[@michaellivingston6707]

I am 54 yrs old and still love my sport atvs. But I also love the 4x4 for riding alittle of everything and being able to still ride in the winter with snow. But no matter what the pulling of a clutch, shifting of gears, and thunder of that exhaust, and ass end sliding around corners as you slip from one side of the seat to the other is always a great feeling. At my age I rode them all from a go cart, mini bike, dirt bike, three wheeler, and snow mobiles. But a atv u can ride all year. Cant beat it no matter what you ride. Love our sport. Stay safe!!

[@DirtObseXXion]

54 yrs young brother!!! Agree, time and a place for everything. We keep Sport ATVs for summer time rips and 4x4s for winter or very long rides! This one should do both pretty well though..

[@desertdrz7618]

Appreciate the review!

[@DirtObseXXion]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@firewoodblake1243]

The Rotax 650 is a great motor, no one disputes that. However, Can am’s pricing strategy as it related to the 650 lineup never made sense. By way of example, In June 2019 at Tampa Bay Powersports, the 650 Outlander xt was only $325 less than the 850 outlander xt. I would venture to guess that 90%+ of buyers would go with the 850 in that scenario. The 650 was always a “tweener” displacement. Anyone who wanted a more forgiving bike was better suited to save some money and go with the 570 and most others went with the 850 due to perceived value.

[@chasharper]

Nice looking Can Am . Fun watching the video today my Friends! 🙃 I left a 👍203 have a great day 👋😎

[@DirtObseXXion]

Thanks Chas!!!

[@abrightlight2401]

Great video, I ordered the 23 650 and was raptor minded forever. I like the 4x4 options being in Colorado and needing that extra grip on the climbs. I’m excited to drive it but it will be my first CTV atv. Let’s see how long it takes to ship with the current conditions

[@DirtObseXXion]

I hope you get it soon! I love Raptors but that Rocky terrain definitely calls for more ground clearance and 4x4.. Ya gotta get the right tool for the job! CVTs are still pretty fun, I think you're gonna be happy..

[@abrightlight2401]

Got the call it will be shipped February 🎉

[@brownstone43]

Hello. Are you near Fort Collins or Longmont? I want to go get one but don't have anyone to ride with and nothing to to it with yet. But ready to buy

[@mudpuppy318]

I have a 21 Grizzly 700, you are spot on about pricing. They are expensive!

[@ColoradoDualSport]

Could this be another KLR650 situation? Remove it from the market for a year or two while it gets a complete overhaul, then bring it back? I don't know much about Can-Am, but that move seems to be a popular one (and one I hope to see happen to the DRZ400 soon). While I agree with you that 4x4's don't offer the same feel on the trails from my recent experience with both types of quads, I know now how much independant rear suspension and much greater ground clearance impact trail riding. And, well... 4x4 modes. I think if I was in my early 20's again I would have tried to make my 6'3 self fit on a sport ATV better. However, now in my early 40's my priories and need to be able to walk the next day have lead me in the direction I'm going. And honestly I feel like I can ride just as hard as I did on the solid axle as I do on the 4x4 and be 100x more comfortable and able to ride longer / further. If I had a groomed dirt track or dunes near by, I would absolutely have a solid axle still, but for the riding that I have in my area now, a couch with enough power to get me trouble is just fine.

[@DirtObseXXion]

I hear that! That's why I'm looking for a 4x4 again! I don't think the 650 Outlander will come back.. That displacement category is just too saturated.. I think CanAm is trying to prioritize and streamline their lineup

[@MotoFlows]

The Renegade 650 looks so good. I like it, be a good 2nd quad to the Raptor.

[@DirtObseXXion]

Your garage is filling up quick! 🤣🤣🤣

[@chadabbott7098]

Great video! At the end of the video you mentioned that you think the 650 can am is faster than the 700 class and specifically you mentioned the brute. Did you mean on the trail faster or just more powerful in general? I'm asking because I've had some experience with a can am 850 (I have a brute 750) and the 850 didn't really get by me till around 40/45 mph...just curious. I love can am handling though.

[@DirtObseXXion]

The 650 Outlander had 62HP which is considerably more than anything in the 700 class including the Brute.. The 850 is much more powerful and certainly faster stock for stock.. But I don't doubt you beat one in a drag race.. You might be ballsier than the other dude, the canams will lift the front and spin the tires easier, and a million other variables... At the end of the day, the Brute is still a powerful machine

[@chadabbott7098]

Good point, launching these things are a bit difficult. I've only been riding quads for a few years now (I'm 52). I grew up riding dirt bikes and have always been into jeeping. So I appreciate your chanel a lot for the info. Also pretty funny 😁

[@raptor700dad7]

4x4 would be top heavy for fast trails ( for me ) but nice for putting around . Still like gear jamming . Speed in the woods have its rewards & penalties , can’t imagine either 4x4s under me or on top of me lol

[@Gamebit450]

It is true I did go with the 850 even while looking for a 570 ended up with the 850 for the price vs performance hard to go wrong!!

[@kinkwhip10]

I bought a new 2022 outlander 850 this past May. I was looking for a 650. Coming from a 2015 grizzly 700 (which I miss dearly) I didn’t feel the need for the high horsepower quads. But I did want just a bit more balls than the grizzly. I thought an outlander 650 would do just that. However, I could not find one in stock within a 5hr drive of Pittsburgh. As I did some more digging, MSRP on a new 650 outlander was $11,499. MSRP on a new 850 outlander was $11,999. For a $500 difference I could get an 850. A dealer 2hrs away had one in stock. So I bought it. So, because I couldn’t find a 650 in stock, and the small price difference between the two sizes are the two sole reasons I bought my 850. Sucks to see the 650 go, but I totally understand the decision. I’m sure I’m not the only one who bought an 850 for those reasons.

[@szymonbetka1273]

Hi Jim, im going to buy my 1st ATV for about $6,000. I come from Poland and sadly the prices here went significally high, specially for the most popular CF Moto which i was kinda going to afford. Because of the fact that i have around 6k to spend, there is simply no option for me in the 500cc category other than CForce 500s or CForce 625s. Why im messaging U about that, is because i might have an option of import from US to Poland basically for free and i also have a cousin who lives in Pennsylvania near Stroudsburg. I thought a lot about my options and i think the best solution would be to get used one in a great condition from 2021+ simply because if i buy a new one then I cannot take advantage of the warranty. How popular are CF Motos there? Is it possible to buy one? Price for a used Cforce 500s 2021 in Poland is $7,000...

[@DirtObseXXion]

I guarantee you weren't the only one! I get it too, plus the 650 was competing with the Japanese stuff..

[@kinkwhip10]

@@szymonbetka1273 c force is becoming more and more popular here. The dealer networks aren’t the strongest, but within due time, I think they will be readily available for the most part. You can find cforce quads on the used market for around your price range

[@matthewkolessa2885]

I bought an 850 XT in May because of the same thing but my first previous atv that I had for 5 years was a 2016 Arctic Cat 450 alterra which did me well but I needed to upgrade to something a little bigger and better.

[@AGGKX]

How do you like the outlander compared to the grizzly? I currently have a 21 grizzly, I love everything about it I just wish it had more power and I sometimes think about trading it for a can am.

[@Mr__luca]

I own the 2023 renegade 650 and have ridden the outlander. It’s important to point out In this video it’s mentioned several times the renegade is just an outlander with different plastics and less utility. I feel like that’s not true at the entry level line up price points. The renegade 650 gives you fox 1.5 (non gas) shocks. They are way better then the stock suspension on the outlander. the renegade is very tight and aggressive and can be jumped easily. The stock outlander 850 even if you want to include the dps or xt model does not have fox shocks at all they are base can am shocks that make it feel very squishy and couch like and the suspension components are set up slightly different too. Even people that do review videos of the outlander say the shocks aren’t great and to go with the xtp model. So I don’t think it’s fair to say they have different plastics and that’s it. If you want fox shocks you have to spend 14199$ for outlander 850xtp that’s a lot more then the renegade 650 at 10599. I do agree the renegade 850 shouldn’t have been dropped bc that’s the one I really wanted for the price and I do wish I had power steering. But for the price ur getting alot of quad that you can aggressively ride in trails and hit some jumps compared to a base outlander 850 or even a dps or xt model. Although the 850 has a more powerful engine. Also I came from riding a raptor 700r and am very happy with the renegade as you can do alot more type of riding with it. For example independent rear suspension 4x4 it’s definitely a good quad to move to if ur debating getting rid of a raptor! This is all my opinion and what I’ve learned and seen between the two at the entry level price points. Hope this info helps everyone.

[@DirtObseXXion]

Great point! When this was released, when I first did the video, the fox podiums weren't advertised as a feature.. But in light of that, I agree 100% that the fox podiums are far superior to the XT suspension.. I still wish it had DPS but I wish I had found out the fox podiums would be on it when I did this.. I'd like to grab one for a review eventually

[@Mr__luca]

@@DirtObseXXion i wish it had DPS too 😂 but honestly speaking I had a raptor 700 before this so I never experienced dps so riding this renegade I never really felt it was tough to ride or anything. So building on the idea of potential raptor owners coming over, you wouldn’t feel it bc you wouldn’t know 😂. But I’d 100% want it if I could hands down.

When I seen this video, got excited. Finally a 650 renagade in the states. Just to get shot down, no pwr steering, game changer. Wished I was still 30 but I'm not. Next machine will definitely have pwr. str..

[@DirtObseXXion]

That was a huge oversight but I think CanAm was concerned that the Renegade 650 with DPS would have cost about as much as an Outlander 850 DPS. I agree though, it needs DPS.

[@jonathanfitzsimons786]

Was actually looking at getting an 850 renegade this year

[@ashleyrasset1635]

Do you know if you can add power steering from a renegade xxc to the 650?

[@DirtObseXXion]

Not as an option.. It's theoretically possible but you'd have to buy the DPS unit, new steering stem, and figure out how to change the electronics to add the switch and the icon activator for the display.. At that point it would probably just be worth buying the 1000 xxc

[@stromghouls]

2023 can am's have all increased dry weights this year. it is mind boggling how heavy they are. i understand why they d'ont list wet weights.

[@damiantruttling9785]

I wish the Renegade 1000 XXC had a clutch! It would be the sickest wheeler on the planet! Idk how the 4 wheel drive would work? But I would love it! 4x4 Qwadzilla! Hell ya!

[@DirtObseXXion]

4wd would be easier to work out than the rear trailing arm suspension.. We get that kind of comment a lot about CVT ATVs but the challenge would be running a chain or shaft to the rear differential. That's why manual clutches work on sport quads but not big 4x4s.. Sport quads have a rear sprocket on a solid axle, but independent axles on 4x4s make that implausible.. There's just not enough room for one unless it's Honda's DCT style transmission which isn't very fun on an ATV..

[@truckingoover]

I am a Can Am dealer in VT The 650 Outlander was my best selling ATV for the past decade. Granted the 570 took a few of those buyers due to price. But moving a customer to an 850 is close to $1500 bump in same model… I just don’t see why

[@DirtObseXXion]

Awesome to have that feedback from a dealer! It makes total sense to me that the 650 would be the best seller, and honestly the 650 renegade seems like it could potentially be harder for dealerships to move.. The target market is younger more aggressive riders who are less likely to have the means to buy a new machine, and no DPS will take will take it out of contention for more seasoned folks... I hope I'm wrong..

I would definitely consider the 650 but only if came with the xxc package.

[@DirtObseXXion]

[@OdysseyOffroad]

I am a little conflicted in my thoughts tbh. The 570 renegade is a great trail machine at a good price point for the less aggressive rider who just wants to get out and have a good trail machine and has no need for big power AKA my wife lol. that being said i have taken it on the trails myself and it can be a blast! The 650 being more expensive and the cheapest Renegade available will put some people off I think who are looking for affordable. The 650 is definitely an upgrade but the higher price may not be worth it for some people . as far as Raptor vs Renegade, well.... I think people who want a sport quad will buy a Raptor ultimately unless they are new to atvs and don't know what they are getting into and do not do enough research. Going from my Raptor to my wifes 570 Renegade is like going to a different planet. Even getting on my brothers 1000r xxc is nothing like riding a Raptor or any sport quad. You are not flicking a Renegade around with it pushing 800lbs. You immediately feel the size and weight of a Renegade as soon as you climb on top of one. Both great machines with 2 totally different abilities regardless of power. With all this being said. I will be on my raptor as long as my body allows it. I can see my self in retirement age traveling and exploring on a Renegade 1000r or Scrambler 1000 xp however as they beet up your body less. Great video as usual, keep em coming!

With it exactly how I want it, the MSRP is $13,149 without taxes, etc. I’ve never seen anyone with a M.O. edition online except on forums and dirt trax.

All depends on the temperament of the rider, meaning "what do you mean by being 'challenged?'" This goes beyond riding styles and where the rider wants to ride. There will never be a replacement (as far as I'm concerned) for manual transmission. If I had it my way, manual transmissions would be the only option for everything that moved. Okay, I'm being hyperbolic, but only barely. Thrills can be had on any machine. Hell, I could buy a 1986 Honda 125 and have a blast on it because it comes with its own challenges and having no suspension can be hilarious. It's more than just speed that excites us. Its the experience; the challenge. For those that don't particularly care for any thrills, challenges, or "O-M-G, can-I-actually-do-this" moments, a CVT is fine. They're also fine for those who have big enough balls that require a big-bore to haul them. But the manual is glorious because it delivers the absolute most while requiring the absolute most to receive the delivery. That's satisfying in a way that a "punch-'n-go" will never be able to mimic.

[@DirtObseXXion]

I don't think I could because I've never ridden one.. They seem more utility oriented than we what we go for.. I think Dirt Trax reviewed one fairly recently though.

[@kyleroberts6171]

@@DirtObseXXion the reason i was asking is because my cousin has a kawa 650 brute and we had trouble pulling moose out this year and was wonder if a 6x6 wouldbe better is all

[@DirtObseXXion]

@@kyleroberts6171 It might be.. You're definitely going to get more traction, and the CanAm 650 is certainly more powerful than the BF 650.. But a moose is quite a task!

[@mitchtavio]

If Yamaha had a sport quad with IRS and more ground clearance I would buy one in a heartbeat. I just cant see it being any good on a rutted out trail.

[@joekearney]

I just hope it’s not a sign of another manufacturer slowly backing out of ATV power sports due to any stupid freaking Left greenie environment BS. If I ever go back to big power it’s hands down going to be an outlander 1000R. I don’t like that you have to get the XT-P to get the locking front end . It should come standard on all their 4x4s. Don’t like those money grabs. As far as the 650 Rene being faster than a new brute 750 that’s probably be an interesting race . The 2012+ brutes are considerably faster than 2011-. I had them all. Stock my 2012 would do 75mph and 0-40 in a mad rush . After tune and true dual exhaust it’d break all 4 stock tires loose on asphalt . I’m not saying it’d win but I think that would be a very fun drag race . I know my old 650i 2006 brute would run dead heat with a friends 650 Outty back then , but would get walked after about 45-50 mph and topped out at 68 mph. I’ve found the new KQ to be more fun ripping than I thought it’d be lol. It’s fairly balanced coming off the ground . Keep the content coming .

[@DirtObseXXion]

Thanks Joe!! I remember drag racing an Outlander with my 16 Grizzly.. It was fairly close, they pulled the line, I pulled mid way through... I was like, damn those 570s are legit.. Dudes like, this is a 450.. Anyway those Rotax motors are pretty serious.. Im with you, if I went back to a 1000 it would be an Outlander.. Unfortunately the base suspension sucks, goes soft really fast, so the XTP is worth the upgrade for the shocks alone...

[@joekearney]

@@DirtObseXXion lmao 🤣 that’s funny man. “ Uh eh Bro it’s a 450” hahaha lol I’ve become a major fan of Rotax over the last decade . They are fantastic engines that punch well above their weight class ! The 570 is a dead heat with the new KQ 750. Sucks but it’s true . Coop mod would probably help the KQ get out of the hole first . If I’m ever up there in Kentucky (it was KY right ? Lol I’m aging and memory is suffering ) I’ll have to swing by and rip yalls area on the Zuki lol.

[@DirtObseXXion]

@@joekearney Yep! Anytime brother! We're in Central KY near Elizabethtown.. I may copy you and grab a Zuke soon..

[@joekearney]

@@DirtObseXXion awesome man , for more aggressive riding to fit yalls style you could tune it with quality exhaust ,coop mod (engages much quicker and more aggressive , and Elka shocks combined with a slightly wider stance on aftermarket rims and 26s . That would be a dynamite set up on a new KQ. It’a a great smooth refined machine . If I ever break 1000 subs I’ll have to come …”collab” with y’all up there hahaha lol . If you get a Zuki ( can find them more easily than a new Grizz ) post vid asap !

I think a 650 might even pull a Raptor at first in a drag race, but no 4x4 is any match for a sport quad in the woods (with right riders on both)

I have a 2023 canam renegade xmr 1000 and it makes my best friends 700 raptor embarrassed to say the least

[@DirtObseXXion]

I'll personally take a Raptor over a Renegade any day.. Solid axles and half the weight can simply be ridden harder.. That's why Pro 4x4s race in the morning of GNCC. They'd slow the XC1 guys down.. But if you're hitting mud and riding dirt roads the Renegades certainly have more power and ground clearance

@@DirtObseXXion I bought a 21 850xxc and had to wait 3 months for the fox podiums. In the end, can am sent me a check for the shocks. The engineer at GNCC said that it was easier to support one race oriented machine. The 850 dps outlander is probably the cheapest way to xc race.

Recently got one of the 650’s expecting the no power steering to be its biggest problem. Although it would be nice the quad does perfectly fine without it and is surprisingly easy to throw around on the trails

[@brutelife9177]

I mean no power steering or improved suspension. I think with this model I personally would rather spend my money going pure sport or full utility atv.

[@DirtObseXXion]

No argument here, or just get the Outlander 850.. 🤷‍♂️

[@brutelife9177]

@@DirtObseXXion I had to revisit this video. Been riding the bruteforce around and I still think it’s an all around great atv for a person who does minimally aggressive trail riding and like the engine for work and reliability/durability. However I miss the ability to ride more aggressive. The brute bottoms out on small bumps in the trails that you try to get any lift off of. I think spending 10+ on any single axle manual sport atv is egregious but such is life. I’m really interested in getting a more sport focused atv so what do I pick? A raptor who is 45” and have corner more cautiously or by a sport utility and factor in weight and lose some of the aggressive riding?!?

[@DirtObseXXion]

@@brutelife9177 I'm about to post a video of the Outlander XXC. As aggresive riding goes, it's about aggressive as it gets.. Globs of power and suspension to push it. But.... You can't keep up with a Raptor in tight trails on it.. It weighs 900lbs so you can only get so aggressive before it becomes a time bomb... Raptors are definitely too expensive for what you get, and mine has Houser XC arms, Elkas, Big 3, stabilizer ect... All in all more money in the Raptor than the XXC cost. For me it's the Raptor... But i've paid for it in wrecks and parts..

True... But then look at YFZs vs Renegades and it's like 200:1.. The Raptor isn't a race quad by any stretch of the imagination.. But most riders are going to be faster on a Raptor than a utility ATV.. That's why pro 4x4 races in the a.m. Most the women in XC1 are faster than 75% of men's pro 4x4
