Can-Am Outlander 700 XT Everything you want to know

Merci Marc! Love hearing a mechanics perspective

[@ehTV1000]

I like it! Looks great. Can't wait to see how it stacks up against the big Japanese bikes.

[@ATVGUYS]

The Yamaha and the Suzuki are going to have a hard time and I'm a fan of both machines. Just the ride quality makes the outty make a huge difference.

[@JoshuaOverman]

@@ATVGUYSthe yamaha is way better with quality the can am is comparable in power so might as well get the grizzly and have a machine that will last.

[@ATVGUYS]

@@JoshuaOverman Get what you want bud! Seriously, you're paying for it! But having ridden them all numerous times, This outlander (700 series) is in the same class as the yammy and Suzuki. It's got the sharp steering of the Yamaha, the grunt of the Suzuki, better power steering, better overall handling and even with the single rear caliper, BRP's linked brake system is easier to modulate. The Can-Am's P-Drive dry clutch can be considered a weak point if you "drive it like your car" but it will leave the yammy and the Suzuki standing at the line. Does not make the Yammy or Suzuki worse off. ANY of these units is a sound buy.

[@stonehorn4641]

@@JoshuaOvermanas someone who owns a HD7 Pro XU and a 2020 grizzly, I would recommend the Can Am 10 times out of 10. And I use my quads hard on the farm, in the dirt, and hunting and fishing. There is not a single area where the Grizzly outperforms the HD7.

I have a 1000XT amd itll melt my legs. This is a serious contender as when i want speed and power ill ride my 450 dirt bike. Can am killed it with this, ease of maintenance and low heat / noise. Great job. Ill never buy a big bore ATV ever again.

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

I like the front storage, Polaris was the winner for me as storage is huge. Straps, tire kits, lunch, I want storage without putting grandpa boxes on. The personal storage = excellent, the countersunk rear is great to help stabilize things like coolers, gas cans, etc. A lot of thought finally went into an ATV, including the new chainsaw mount. Finally a proper way to bring a saw. And I'm not a Can-Am fan, but they ticked a lot of boxes for me.

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

Polaris is never the winner bud. Lol

[@Ruthless9187]

Forget about the dtorage is about reliability

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

@@Ruthless9187 Ive owned 2, zero issues. Also owned 2 Arctic cats and a KQ 750. But I also take care of my stuff. At the same time I know 3 people which own 2 different models, all 2018+ and all have auto transmission issues.

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

@@Ruthless9187 and I love people who criticize the reliability of whatever is #1 in sales. Doesn't matter if it's a screwdriver, PC game, or an ATV. Polaris owns something like 50-70% of the market share where brp is second at less than 14. But I'll round down for Polaris and up for brp just to be conservative. So when you go to a BRP dealer and see an avg of 3 in for repairs, then swing by the Polaris dealer and see an avg of 6. That doesn't make Polaris less reliable as they are selling 3.5x more and only have 2x in repair. So Polaris would be more reliable. So now, do this with a KQ or Yamaha that sell single digit % of the market they will seem even more reliable. Though I would argue that they are as one who has owned a KQ. Now for my previous comment. A female friend had a Honda that was in the shop 13x for shifting issues and electrical issues. 2 acquaintances had the same issues. Honda spent three years trying to figure it out and even had a computer mounted on it for analysis. They ended up giving her a new ATV after three years of BS. By comparison, my 2017 AC, 2020 high lifter, 2021 850 touring, 2018 KQ, and a Kymco 300 (AC branded), none were ever had manufacturing or reliability issues other than the HL needed a new starter. But it was a mud machine going in water and mud.

[@stonehorn4641]

The chainsaw mount is the best accessory I’ve bought for it, followed by the linq gas can, then the rotomolded cooler and gun case.

[@chrisreibold1634]

[@ericj6559]

I am a bit confused about the engine and whether it is all new or not. On another writeup about the Outlander 500/700, it stated that the HD5/HD7 engine has been used before in their side by sides so hopefully it's a proven design. Or is it?

[@pjfan173]

Can you please give me an update on how things are going with it?

[@RockinRack]

For 100 more what do you get on the xt over the xu? You don't get ieb, 4lok, speed limiter. But you get a wench and bigger wheels? I would think it would be less expensive

I really like this new 700. Maintenance access, exhaust, etc. But 25% less hp than the 650 twin? Maybe the 2025 will bump up the ponies. Might just pay the ridiculous dealer fees. Until then I'll keep an eye out for a low mileage 650.

Great video. Does it look like the fender plastics need to be removed in order to change the oil filter? I have to with my 2019 Outlander. Hoping that was fixed with the 2024 models. Thanks.

[@ATVGUYS]

Nope turn the wheel completely to the right and you have access to the oil filter housing. easy peasy!

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

What's comical is the lower center of gravity, a smaller single with more power than is typical of a single, easy pop off panels, a reversed engine for accessibility and a shorter straight out the back exhaust is awesome when Can-Am does it. But every made fun of Arctic Cat when they started it 2/3 years ago 😂

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

To be fair, the cat does not have the exact same layout, the engine is much higher in frame and will cook the drivers buns at low speed. Its not a bad motor though but seem like its been stuffed in there like an afterthought. Can-Am just did it better. The other rear slanted single is the segway snarler but it was plagued with the worst cvt we ever tested. New cvtech cvt on 2023 models seem to have solved that. Were supposed to try one very soon

[@jasonmorehouse3756]

That would be because articrap is junk, no matter what they do

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

@@jasonmorehouse3756 based in what? Because some need HP to accomodate smaller things? My AC 700 H1 is as reliable as the KQ I had. Which anything is more reliable than a Can-Am. And every Can-Am on KZbin has $5k in aftermarket mods to make them do what they do. My Polaris 850 touring has way more power than I need. Very reliable, but maintence costs are high due to greasing and 4 oil's. Can-Am just went to making 650 singles and the new machines are butt ugly, and don't have the reliability of an AC. Moving to Yamaha and Honda, meh. Yamaha is baiting and the belt is reliable, but not better than Suzuki for reliability. Honda is crap these days for reliability So tell me, what is your awesome amazing brand lol

[@stonehorn4641]

@@EC_ATV_Outdoorsyou’re clearly clueless, and just making shit up at this point. I have 4 ATV’s and a SXS in my barn. 4 different brands (two Can Ams, HD7 and Defender HD10, a 2020 Grizzly, my wifes 2022 Rubicon, and a 2018 Brute Force) and the Can Am is far and away the most reliable. The Defender is the best farm workhorse on the market, and the HD10 is easily the best of the ATV’s. I had two Sportsmans, and both were nothing but trouble. Broken belts, bad gear boxes, a blown engine, and a cracked frame in two years of ownership. One a 2018, the other a 2019, bought at the same time. I’ll never buy another polaris atv (but love their mountain sleds).

[@PowerSportsQuebec]

For heavy intensive and primary use as a workhorse I'd prefer the Honda, preferably a foot shifted unit but the Rubicon will do fine. The Can-Am will do it without breaking a sweat and is much more powerful BUT.. The operator must know the limits of a CVT belt driven machine and use low gear when working.

No, that is not the reason at all. Twins get hot because exhaust needs to be routed down the side from the front cylinder. It has literally nothing to do with engine compartment panels. Its also why this machine, with panels, has no heat at all near the legs
