1 Year with the Can-Am Outlander - Do I Regret Buying the 450 DPS???

[@RobDLion]

I own this exact model color and all. I absolutely love it. Trust me 38hp may not sound like a lot, but this baby is a work horse. I bought my wife one as well and we take pleasure rides on the weekends. 100% happy that I bought it and I will buy it again.

[@MrPHATSPEED]

Just bought a lightly used 2015 Outlander L 450 in red. 1300 miles. Paid $4300 for it. It's been an amazing machine!

[@GG-cw1er]

Where did you find one like that every time I see one it’s like $8,000

[@amyhowle761]

Thank you for this review. It's nice to hear feedback from someone who owns one.

[@rjnixon1061]

Great video. Nice to see an honest review of a smaller displacement atv. They definitely are overlooked and for 90% of average people it’s all they need. Thumbs up and ride safe

[@2511jeremy]

Think i might go with the 570 only for the fact that its a v twin

[@cranedaddy678]

I've always been a big sport quad guy but I bought my wife a 21 model of one of these and we all just love it. It's so comfy, and overall a pleasant riding experience. Definitely happy with our purchase and just might be picking up another one for me haha

[@chetburnes3776]

My wife has one of these and absolutely loves it. The 38 hp motor was more powerful than the comparable Honda model.

[@throttlepinnedatvsxs]

Thanks to your video I just bought a 2020 450 dps I was able to get money off plus a two year warranty because of it being a left over it is truly an all-around good atv

I had my 2016 max L450 to 63 MPH it honestly really impressed me. Great machine

[@27Zangle]

Honestly, the 450 - 570 size is probably more than enough for most people. The child inside me wants the biggest and fastest, however.

[@aidanahearn5072]

Im lookin to get my dad the 450 because he doesnt want anything bigger, your right tho about the biggest and fastest bc im gonna get the 650xt

[@gtessie9116]

im at my 2nd 1000. im about to get this one for a family member. i now realize anything over 800 cc is only gas guzzling. im at 11 L/100km cant wait to see the 570 dps consumption.

[@carter.coleman]

I got a 2002 polaris 700. About the same hp as the 570 a little less but they move. And the vtwin is super good on torque

[@mouseclicksforu9724]

@@mouseclicksforu9724 yea, it s a 2002 700 so it is a little dated and it has 45hp. The brand new can am 570 had 48 coming out of its vtwin. Aka the 570 is fast asl

[@ericleighton8483]

great video! i own a 2022 450 dps in grey and i love it! mmine was a left over used with only 6 hours and full skid plates, i bought it with a plow as well.

[@peytonschuldt1045]

I have one. Pretty solid. Had to upgrade batteries due the extreme cold in MN. Seem to eliminate my staring issue. When I say extreme cold I mean negative 0 temps. Mine is a 2018. Pretty solid otherwise with decent traction. Still wish I had my rancher. But there are pluses and minuses to both.

I wanted a bigger one. I wanted a Polaris. This is what I could afford. Couldn’t be happier. I’ve had it a total of 24 hours and I’m still amazed at what I got for the money.

[@TrailPass]

It's a great machine and honestly I prefer this over a polaris. The ride is great! Amazing for an entry level machine

[@gordlockwood1213]

I watched your previous video where you spoke of DPS package coming with the nice wheels. I went on their site, and nothing doing, just steel rims. Thanks for letting me know what is going on with that. Yes it does suck. You got nice deal on DPS/wheels.

[@TrailPass]

I'm sure it's a cost cutting measure for Can-Am but it makes the DPS package a little less of a compelling deal.

[@stoneycarter5546]

I got my 2018 570 with DPS and wheels all for $6800 and I have not had one problem out of it , I have two 450 with no DPS and they are hard to steer I did have a 2015 Model but it got stole had it for 4 years and not a problem at all but hard to steer I will never own another ATV without DPS can am's or BRP which ever you want to call them are made in Mexico or Canada .

[@TrailPass]

That's a great deal on the 2018. DPS is really a game changer!

[@highvalleycowboy1]

I bought an Alterra 300 about 2 years ago. Just used around farm. Transmission is slipping gears, rear diff is leaking from the seals... was told it would be $3000 for fix. Thinking about can-am... hope the can-am last longer then 2 years...

[@Troks-eg8jw]

If you are just doing farm work. Your best bet is a Honda. Not unusual to go 20 years.

[@DHKKOBE]

My dad brought me,my brother and himself we used to be outside doing something every day but after we moved I’ve got lazy etc so basically he brought them to get out my house and do something I feel like my brother needs it the most since we moved to my new house 4 years ago he put on over 140 pounds,obese and on the games everyday but when my dad got the quads from the delership I’ve seen him outside doing something for the first time in years

[@sokodad]

Light on my display isn’t working. Going to have to check for a fuse. Can a person get heated grips for these? I’d like to get the bars on front and back like you have.

[@TrailPass]

Yes, canam does make their own heated grips and there's also generic options. I've heard good things about Heat Demon

[@sylbean]

Hi thanks for that video question the power sterring can you switch by running time or you have to stop ?

[@atlant2566]

I was thinking if that will be ok to snow plow a small parking lot at my commercial store. Not sure if i need something bigger than 450

[@TrailPass]

I plowed with this machine for a few years with no issues. The power was never the problem, more the fact that this was a lighter weight machine. If you push a bunch of wet, heavy snow I would try to add some weight to the machine to increase traction or look for something like a side by side. If you push dry snow that's only a few inches deep this is more than capable!

[@atlant2566]

Awesome thank you for your reply. Found 650 max maybe i might go with that instead.

[@TrailPass]

@@atlant2566 I ride a 650 now and absolutely love it!

I pick mines up in two weeks they have to put some type of chip in idk this my first time but I wish they had other colors other than green

[@dankruger2890]

Alot of people watch this to see if the 450 is enough power. with today's prices the 450 size is becoming more popular.

[@dangrather1280]

I bought a 2016 570 L max dps new. I’ve got 12 000 km’s on it. Runs like new still. It was only $1000 more for the 570 vs the 450. 48 Hp vs 38. Twin cylinder vs single cylinder. My friends who ride single cylinders always comment on how smooth the engine is when they ride my V twin. 450 is great but 570 is better….for me. I just bought a 650 xt and now I wish I bought the 850😂

[@TrailPass]

That's the cycle! More power and the features of the higher end machines are really enticing. Glad you're having good luck with your machines!

[@davidbintz8685]

I went with a brand new 2020 450 DPS in November. Have been using for snowplowing and shifting sucks! I have lubricated every location and still sticks or has to be moved a little to get it to shift. Anyone else have this issue with shifting from forward to reverse and reverse to forward? As for power, there is plenty! I cleared my land and used a 6 x 12 trailer loaded with logs, (have a 2" ball on the back), would use it to pull the trailer to the road to hook to my truck. Also snowplowing has plenty of power. Took the ATV ice fishing with the plow on and used the plow to clear a spot on the ice for the shanty. Only negative I have is the shifting.

[@TrailPass]

Hello David. I have not had any issues with my shifting personally, but have heard from others who reported similar issues. There is some adjustment in the linkage. Since you machine is so new, I would suggest calling your dealer to see if they would fix it for you.

[@charlespalmerii4299]

Great Review! As you know, I own this machine as well. I agree with you about the machine , the power, and overall capability of machine , is great for the $$$. Regarding Top speed I have been able to get up to 63 mph , with that said , I would not even consider the 570, if I do upgrade in the future , to make it worth it, I would say I would have to go with 800cc machine .... I have those same lights as you , thanks to you ! :) and they work great I also have XT bumpers and they are holding up well too ... I still have stock tires at now 650 miles on my 2020 , holding up pretty good, but when these go will for sure go with a 6ply or higher tire, do like the ones you have ! FYI, I did have Cam AM do my first service as I felt that be a good idea since still under Warranty , it cost for entire service around 120 dollars , for those who wondering about that .... I am due to do a follow up review soon as well, will ping when I do... thanks again , I found your videos on the Outlander , very informational , and helpful. :)

[@TrailPass]

Thanks for all of the great information!!

[@nikolinakrasic9418]

What do you think is better and why, MAX DPS 570cc or 450cc?

[@sam32rahman]

I have a 2018 outlander 450 and I hit 64

[@steveebersole]

Curious if you tow or plow with this? Do you feel like this 450 has enough power for those activities? Specifically pulling felled trees and plowing snow are my 2 main needs

[@TrailPass]

Hey, thanks for watching! I don't tow much other than a small lawn wagon. I do have a 60" blade and feel it does fine. With a wet, heavy snow it seems like the Outlander struggles a little, but that's more due to it's light weight than lack of power. I just purchased a 570 Max XT and plan on comparing those models. I went with the 570 since the max is a two up machine for my wife and I, not because I felt the 450 was too slow. Please consider subscribing and sticking around for more Can-Am and Off-road videos! 👍

[@cresttoothpaste6857]

Idk if this helps but we have pulled a stuck bmw out of a loose dirt rode and we’ve pulled a Ford F-150 out of a loose dirt rode as well lol, it will tow we have this exact same model

[@stevehorvat69]

Nice review and glad to hear it’s been good for you. I’ve always had Honda ATVs in the past but feel shortchanged wiry their latest Rubicon 520 offering. I am considering an Outlander 850 Max North edition which I think will be perfect for plowing at our Michigan 2nd home. I just don’t think the Rubicon 520 will have enough power for plowing. Plus the North Edition already has all the goodies for cold weather including heated grips, throttle and a winch. How is the forward/reverse gear selection for you? I’ve heard the Can Ams tend to be difficult and notchy? This will be important for plowing and that’s were the rubicon has an advantage with the one button reverse on their DCT. Thanks again.

[@TrailPass]

That North Edition would be excellent in Michigan. That 850 would be more than powerful enough and actually the Max models plow much better in my experience. Some of the shifters can be a little notchy, but there is some adjustment in the linkage that can really help. Hope this helps and let me know what you decide!

[@spyder000069]

The rubicon has a low range plus since it has an actual transmission and not a belt cvt. I feel like it will last longer when working it. I don't think power would be the problem as usually those cases always come down to traction and having enough weight to put power to the ground. I have both a rancher 420 and the rubicon 520 and the new reverse setup on the 520 is pretty slick. The one thing I don't like about the 520 is the electronic throttle limiting to around 50mph and it seems to be geared lower than the rancher. The rancher will outrun it in top speed and so will my old '07 foreman 500 as they top out around 52. The stock tires on the 520 are about an inch short compared to the actual tire size so a new set of taller shoes may make up the difference.

[@SR-sg7qk]

Can you make a video on how to use the dps

[@Ducknell]

Nice house & property!

[@Flash8012]

Does your 450 fit inside a short bed Tacoma 3rd gen?? Thinking about buying this same model but have a 2020 TRD Sport 😬. Your input would be appreciated!

[@TrailPass]

It would be very close. On my 6' bed Tacoma it fit perfectly with the center of the rear wheels between the bed and tailgate. I've seen several other people do it on a short bed but it would take all the space and good straps.

[@blakeberlin6295]

The challenge with this truck is the width. I have a long bed, so they all fit that way with the tailgate down.

[@AsianPoseiden911]

Im about to order a 2021 570 xmr, been watching a bunch of videos on can ams. Does your atv have a cable for the throttle or is it electric? I find with the cable my hand cramps really fast after about 45 mins.

It's all cable throttles on the smaller outlander models. The 570 is an awesome machine though!

Great video. I'm getting my first atv this week and I'm between the outlander 450 and the sportsman 570 they are almost the same price (mexico) actually at the end the polaris is a little bit cheaper. Wich one you guys recommend? The outlander 570 is a little out of my budget

[@TrailPass]

First off, congratulations either way, you'll definitely enjoy either machine! For 2021 Polaris made some nice changes and the clutching and engine is super smooth. I think the suspension and ride is smoother on the Outlander and Can-Am uses true 4x4 with a Visco-lock (limited slip front diff). Both are great machines for sure and both could definitely benefit from power steering if that fits your budget. Hope this helps and let me know what you decide!
