Can Am Renegade 850 Fast Trail Riding KATVA 80

[@Broknex]

I love the Renegade XXC's, but with the power steering at max, it's a bit twitchy going fast on a skinny trail! I just geared my xxc down a bit and it gave me way more control but I lost a bit of top speed in exchange for low torque. I almost never got it up to 72mph before and I have no idea what my top speed is now. I do feel I had way more "rider imput" when I rode sport quads, but I love not getting stuck crossing a creek or if the trail gets too rutty! Fun video, my friend!

I love my 850 xxc renegade , but in terms of fast trail riding and drifting honestly I gotta say my 350 warrior I liked more , But overall the renegade is a better machine , but in tight corners / drifts I would take my old 350 any day .

Looks so fun

[@michaelknapik6792]

Yes thinking about getting one as well, so used to the light weight 450 sport quads

[@michaelknapik6792]

@@WeekendWarriors87 agree much more riding possibilities for trails

@@WeekendWarriors87 I have the new cfmoto 600 as well as the Polaris outlaw mxr 450 love it, but needs more power, and suspension is ok , but heavy machine. Looks like a 2021 can am xxc renegade will solve all of my problems!!

[@WeekendWarriors87]

@@michaelknapik6792 yeah it's probably the best all round machine. The 850 is lots but coming off a sport 450 I'd rather have had the 1000. And my suspension is plush but if you're really hard on it the xxc will be for you.

[@michaelknapik6792]

@@WeekendWarriors87 yes go big or go home ! What's another thousand, that way I won't have any regrets getting the 850 , plus the 1000 only weights like 25 pounds more. Thanks again for your advice!

Great vid!

[@scottylauder3760]

Sick video. Wondering what hand guards those are. Have the same quad would love to get em

[@WeekendWarriors87]

I just have the OEM ones. I added them after I bought it. They don't sell the yellow as a kit, so you have to have them order it as an OEM part from the xxc model

[@222wheelsdown]

I have a ktm 390 adventure and want to trade it in for a renegade 850 (base model) or a raptor 700r. I know the renegade is about 2k more out the door than the Yamaha… in your opinion is it worth it?

[@charlesprevost8501]

Great video, great quad do you know If a renegade is more fun and fast to ride than any 450 sport quad

[@charlesprevost8501]

@@WeekendWarriors87 I have a 450 but ist a sportmans😂😂 I will sell it and buy a sport quad cause I want to test it cause if I don't love it I will have the rest of my life to change

[@charlesprevost8501]

@@WeekendWarriors87 l didn't know but with the money gap between the sport quad and the renegade I think you can get a couple mods on the sport quad butin my opinion ist a preference.

[@Fastmoneyracing2018]

Did you add power steering to the bike or is it still no power steering?

[@Fastmoneyracing2018]

@@WeekendWarriors87 yeah same ahaha I tried to put power steering on it with all oem gear but couldn’t get it to work I was gonna ask you how you did it if you had it 😂

[@canamboss3085]

Does this renegade have power steering

[@WeekendWarriors87]

No sir it does not. I wish I had it on trails like that though, but it's no big deal most of the time

[@brandondannys-menary3678]

Whats faster? A sport 450 like yfz450 or a renegade 850? Like a drag race lol

[@WeekendWarriors87]

Been wanting to do an actual drag but haven't been able to. The 850 stock is a little slower than a modded 450, the 1000r with a pipe and tune is a bit faster than a modded 450

[@WeekendWarriors87]

@@brandondannys-menary3678 no problem. I will do a real one in the summer after the wheat comes off. I am also planning on doing a comparison video between these and sport quads as a whole.

[@thumbgas888]

Does the steering feels soft without power steering

[@WeekendWarriors87]

If by soft you mean light, I wouldnt say its light. On wider open trails I dont notice at all, on tight sections if you are trying to go fast its definitely an arm workout to keep it pointed in the right direction, especially in 4x4. But I wouldnt call it unbearable or not doable.

[@thumbgas888]

@@WeekendWarriors87 got you thx for the reply,I race a 570max dps and I put it on med setting for fast trails and soft for tight fast sections, I am looking at Renegade 850 base and wanted some feedback on the steering, so thanks again for your feedback

[@WeekendWarriors87]

@@thumbgas888 Yeah no problem. It would be better with, but unlike the outlander you gotta go for a 3k package to get power steering. As a racer youd probably want the XXC package anyways. I ride it hard though and no issues other than arms being a bit tired after a long day.Enjoy it, these machines are awesome!
