Coming from a sportsman owner ( 550 XP, 570SP and 850SP) I really like what I'm seeing! Can't wait to see one in person and test ride one 🙂

HAPPY FRIDAY 👏👏👏 THANKS FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT GUYS 🙏 ...HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE...

[@Matts000]

That 700 XMR is going to sell like hotcakes

[@wildcatoutdoors]

Had a 650, things ran hottt, super powerful, but hott. I now have a honda foreman and havent regreted it for a second.

[@stonehorn4641]

That’s why they angled the engine to the rear on these machines. No heat coming at you anywhere on this atv. I owned multiple Honda’s over the last 25 years, unfortunately their quality has dropped drastically in the last decade. My Rubicon fell apart, and my father’s Pioneer was completely awful. I went to a Brute Force, and now followed by an Outlander Max HD7. My old man traded his pioneer for a Defender HD10. Can’t comment on the outlander’s reliability, it’s new, but it’s the best performing quad I’ve ever had. My father’s Defender HD10 is bulletproof. Farm work, hunting, fishing, hauling firewood, 5 years of hard work and the only problem was a broken belt.

[@TheTed169]

All I will say is I am glad I bought the 2022 650 max xt model. Gud luck BRP.

[@thegodfreyspecial423]

I am betting this is an all-around better bike. I suspect the old 570 Vtwin was underrated in power so as to not step on 650 toes - if you've ever ridden one you know they rock and roll. Would love to see this lined up against one. I don't think the change is bad - its a better looking bike and nobody was really buying the old 570 to go fast, anyways - guarantee this makes way more torque at lower rpm which should make it a great trail and work machine.

[@bigrob6076]

I just rode a 570 22 and a 23 700, and the 570 ate it up. However, none of it means anything to me because I ha e a 22 850xmr. I just was checking them out while I looked at a new grizzly for plowing. I like small frame for plowing that's why I checked them out. I would take the grizzly 700 over the hd700 outlander

[@dangrather1280]

I have both. I bought a 570 for my wife and I got the 650. The 650 is more powerful but it doesn’t feel like 14 horse more that’s for sure. I ride the 570 quite often because it’s a 2up and it rides much smoother than the 650 single.

[@pascal-ex8dk]

thanks for putting the canadian prices also

[@davidhillbrand2302]

Are they offering 2-Up versions of the new models? Nice review, thanks.

[@tkpowersports]

Yes! They didn't have any at the event, but the 2-up MAX versions are already released as well. You can see them on the CanAm website.

[@darkkk8957]

Can someone help me? Im thinking of buying this new outlander 500, should i stick with it? Or should I buy another quad?

[@ComfyDadShoes]

The composite underbelly is way better than a metal one. I use an acerbis composite on my dr650, and I swear it’s better in every way.

[@Tcw2019]

Why are you leaving Yamaha out? Just Honda and Polaris are competitors? Looks like a good atv though

[@BC_Hunter]

I think these are going to sell well. I can get a fully loaded 700xt out the door all in for $15,400 here in Canada. A Grizzly 700 EPS SE in Canada is all out the door at over $18k. That's a significant difference...

[@bensti]

exact! i just order mine 700 max tx 16k tx in

[@gregrowe1168]

That’s the appeal, the price. Still is a ton of money but can am is now the best value. I remember back when the 450L came out, you could get a base model for $5k here in the U.S. That was only about 5 years ago.

[@BC_Hunter]

@@gregrowe1168 Yup, the prices have gone insane.

[@rudolphschenker]

They exported Canadian jobs to Mexico so they could build them cheap..

[@BC_Hunter]

@@rudolphschenker Smart choice. Who the heck wants to do business in Canada anymore with Trudeau running the country. Mexican workers are some of the hardest workers I’ve ever met. I’d say that they’d be pretty dang motivated to do their job well at a production plant.

I'll see them soon enough. The local CanAm dealer loves to sell but doesn't like repairs or maintenance.

[@liamrobinson2084]

Great review. Where are they built? I always try to buy as close to home as I can, and you can't always easily find out where a specific model is made. With cars and trucks you can typically find out fairly easily which plant makes which models. I haven't had much success with finding out where specific ATVs are made. Any pointers?

[@tkpowersports]

This Outlander is built in Mexico.

[@liamrobinson2084]

@@tkpowersports Thanks! Your excellent video on the Kawasaki plant in Nebraska (? I think) put that brand on the list for me, just because, as a Canadian, if my money HAS to go to another country, I know which one I want it to be.

My 700 tops out at 105kph, it is governed there, but I don’t think it has enough power to go much faster. I have the max version.

[@Dusdaddy]

Ok, you rode it now give us some feedback, good or bad. Comfortable? Handlebar layout comfortable standing as well as sitting? The seat height is up there in the specs so does it feel too high? What's the power feel like from the start? Adequate? Talk to us Goose....

[@DonkeyKong2222]

That's in the next video unfortunately. Why can't they just do an all in one review? There's a lot more reviewers out there that don't make you wait a week or two and by the time they release a new video, all the info you need to know has already been uploaded by other reviewers that make one video with all the info.

[@Dusdaddy]

@@DonkeyKong2222 yep, that's why I ask now so they can address it on the next one. I get it, they need content. It is the vicious cycle of social media. Doing a short video once a week is better for them than a longer one once a month. And other reviewers have commented on the ride but not the seat in height or ergonomics.

[@TNCowboy2012]

I wonder if the 23 outlander 700 has speed sensitive power steering like the Grizzly 700?

[@BC_Hunter]

No but it does have three different power steering options

[@dannyboucher7346]

What's the top speed of the Hd7 ? I love the pro model, but I dont want a slow atv like honda 520 model.

[@TiffanyBottomsHunter]

I believe we are just going to have to be patient and wait until people buy them, and do reviews on them. I was wondering this too. I think some people are getting the 700, and the HD7 confused. Both the 500, and 700 Outlanders have a 650cc displacement according to specs. The Outlander Pro Models have the same engine, but are referred to as the HD5, and HD7, Heavy Duty 500, and Heavy Duty 700. The Gearing on the Pro models is different than on the regular 500, and 700. I looked at the HP specs of Can Am's former Outlander 450 38hp, and Outlander 570 48Hp. I watched several videos of both, to get a general idea of what these new Outlander models may perform like. Since the new 500 is rated at 40, and the 700 is rated at 50hp. I kinda feel like the regular outlanders 500, and 700's will perform fairly similar to the 450, and 570 previous models, but the Pro models will likely feel more torquey, down low, and in the midrange, but top speed wise, I would say the regular 500, and 700 will top out at about the same as the 450, and 570, so watching some youtube videos of those ATV's top speeds should give you a good idea, the 570 is a lot quicker than the Honda 520. So based on the method I used, the 700 would likely give you similar performance as the previous 570, maybe a little bit more. Just be patient.

[@Dusdaddy]

@@TiffanyBottomsHunter I think the only difference is the gearing. The motors are the same for the 700 and the HD7. The XMR has a 700 yet it also states "Extra Low" listed in the specs, the same as the Pro with the HD7. Not sure if it is in the diff or the tranny.

[@gregrowe1168]

I would guess around 65-67mph, that’s about what the other 700 class singles like the Grizzly and King Quad top out at. I have a 2008 King Quad 750 and it tops out at 67 mph, everything stock with stock size tires.

[@alexmaclean1]

Excellent video as always. One thing I'll never understand though is calling something that is 650cc a 700. There was a perfectly good name for what it was, so why isn't it just an outlander 650?

[@tkpowersports]

marketing hype

[@southcoastsledders866]

The 650 made 65 hp that’s 15 more then the 700

[@andrewsbbq]

Hopefully the new single thumper engines runs cooler, lighter?, and beefed up trans is reliable and smooth RND shifts. On paper these new bikes look to take it to Yamaha and Suzuki. Grizzly 700 is still a tough bike to beat though. For a 500 workhorse though, my money would go to the reliability brute: Honda Edit: lol no first year maintenance? No thanks. I’d be dumping the engine oil at minimum, and if road hard the diff oil too. And would be nice if the shifter had a linkage mud guard. And if you could get a Pro Max with 2up delete and dump bed in its place. Rear rack payload could be an issue to rework though

[@yorkchris10]

It'd be interesting to see what can-am would build if they went back to building ICE motorcycles.

[@spyder000069]

I wonder how they balance out front to back with the cylinder head now rearward. Wonder if its tail heavy and more prone to flipping back while climbing hills.

[@pajamatime5750]

Cause of the cylinder head facing backwards? I doubt that will make much of a difference. Certainly not enough to make them roll backwards down a hill…. They’ll be well balanced.

[@zackrivette2099]

[@truckingoover]

Will it wheelie tho

[@gregrowe1168]

I’m sure the 700 will. Polaris has done the same thing before, same engine with 2 different tunings to make 2 different power levels. The 450 was just a detuned 570.

[@WoodsUnknown]

Older 450 and 570 were 38 and 48 hp so 40 and 50 aren't really big jumps in power.

[@destinhook3826]

Bet the 570 would blow it out in the race too. I’ve had 2 570s and they both beat a 750 brute force with 50hp and put bus lengths on the grizzly.

[@BC_Hunter]

No, but it's a single bore which is much easier on maintenance.

Under the console in front of the handlebars. Both the engine air filter and the CVT intake are under there. So, they are as high as they can be. Easy to snorkel. XMR is the same as the others other than the taller console.

You cannot "tune" it to a 650. It's a different displacement engine. Still a great engine. But it's not going to match the 650 v twin with a tune.

@@mikeslife5941 not gonna lie, I thought you were full of it. A couple years back I rebuilt a 650 and put the 800 top end on it. Reflash the ecm and it was quite the monster. At that point I was really digging into the different engines. So I KNEW the 570 was a different engine. I had no idea they dropped it and started just using 650s. That being the case, this new engine hd5/hd7 (650), makes no sense at all to me. Unless they can really wake up even more with tuning, then I see no point.

[@powersportsenthusiast1986]

the outlander 570 has 2 peak hp (manufacturer rated) less than the new 700, but peak power numbers are far from the whole story. id say the biggest dimensional difference is the 4 inch higher seat, not the slightly less than 2 in width. if it truly is 4 inches higher its sky high. plastic skids arent a new thing. specs are great, but let's see if the real world matches. im sure many will miss the twin even if the new machine has its advantages

[@gregrowe1168]

Honestly I’m guessing the reason they’re single cylinder is because it’s cheaper to build. The 700 is going to be priced to take on Yamaha and Suzuki. It will cost less than a Grizzly 700 or King Quad 750 and still be about equal in terms of power. People that never considered a can am because of cost will buy it instead because it’s now the best value. The 850 and 1000 will still be there for those who want to spend the extra money for ultimate performance.

I for one like the cell phone storage box. Most of the time I'm out of cellular range when hutning and like to charge my phone. Having it a sealed water proof box works so I don't have to have in my pockets if it starts raining, etc. Agreed with the hanguards though, it would have been nice to see them added on but with the price they're offering, it's respectible, especially considering that the Grizzly and Suzuki dont offer them. Also, I believe the airbox is located right in front of the "cell phone" storage.
