2013 Can-Am Outlander MAX DPS 500

Comfortable two-up riding.

The new Can-Am® OutlanderTM MAX 500 DPS ATV uses the second-generation frame, gets a 15% boost in power, has a new passenger seat and more. Like its larger Outlander siblings, the Outlander MAX 500 DPS ATV gets new Dynamic Passenger Comfort (DPC) ergonomics and the convenient Convertible Rack System (CRS). The new passenger-inspired features, enhanced 46-HP engine and SST frame give the MAX 500 class-leading power, exceptional handling and industry-leading ergonomics, while also taking the two-rider experience to the next level.

Using proven Geometric Contact Control design principles, BRP engineers took an innovative approach to all aspects of the frame of this new-generation Outlander MAX. This allows the chassis of the next-generation Outlander MAX, with its 59-inch (150 cm) wheelbase, to deliver the performance the Can-Am brand is known for, yet enhance the overall comfort of the vehicle at all levels of riding for riding alone and with a passenger.

With its innovative ride quality and unmatched passenger-friendly design, the Outlander MAX ATV is ideal for single-rider adventures and two-rider cruises. The removable rear seat has been redesigned to better accommodate a passenger and now features a new shape, reshaped handles, increased support and improved footrests. The seat is also more flexible, form fitting, taller and sits higher to provide enhanced passenger comfort levels. When not in use, the seat can be removed and replaced with a handy water-resistant, CRS storage bin. The rear cargo rack is accessible even when outfitted with the rear seat or the removable storage bin.

The next generation Outlander MAX is powered by a revised 499cc Rotax® V-Twin with 46-HP horsepower that can outperform competitive ATVs with larger displacement levels. Its impressive power-to-weight ratio and larger fuel tank also keeps riders (and passengers) entertained for longer.

This NEW package adds Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering to the completely redesigned Outlander MAX to take an already great ride and give you even more control while riding two-up or one-up. Includes Visco-Lok QE front differential and cast-aluminum wheels.

2013 Can-Am Outlander MAX DPS 500 Features and Benefits

Industry-leading performance

Large radiator with increased cooling capacity
The larger, more efficient radiator offers almost double the cooling capacity and keeps the engine running cool for optimal Industry-leading performance. The radiator capacity grew by 14 kW with the engineering updates.

Large 5.4-gal (20.5 L) fuel tank
25 percent more fuel capacity, which means you can ride longer. Total capacity is 5.4 gallons (20.5 L).

Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with engine braking
For ease of use, you can count on the CVT transmission that features engine braking to help slow you when going downhill.

Rotax® V-Twin engine options
Available with a 46-hp Rotax 500, 62-hp Rotax 650, 71-hp Rotax 800R or 82-hp Rotax 1000 liquid-cooled V-Twin engines with four valves per cylinder and overhead camshafts. With twin fuel injectors that supply efficient fuel delivery into the combustion chamber for powerful, yet precise performance.

Redesigned air box
The new air box was reconfigured and placed at a higher and more centralized location for filtering and processing air. The no-tools air box features a dual-room design that improves the air filtration process and the quality of air by capturing dirty air in one portion of the box and clean air in another section before it sends the air to the engine. Along with the relocated air box the air intake is also higher in the frame to improve the machine’s capabilities in the mud and water.
Precision-engineered handling

Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension
The only independent rear suspension that eliminates scrub and camber changes, meaning the wheels pivot up and down rather than in a butterfly motion like competitors’ systems. This ensures the vehicle only moves in the direction you point it. With fewer moving parts than competitive systems. The proven Torsional Trailing arm Independent (TTI) rear suspension has been reconfigured to offer increased rigidity and improved suspension travel. The updates lead to lower pivot points providing geometric squatting for improved traction and the transfer of power to the ground.

26-in. Carlisle Badland tires
Mated to the cast aluminium wheels are rugged 26-in. (66cm) Carlisle Badland tires that offer superior Industry-leading performance in a variety of conditions and terrain.

Double A-arm front suspension with dive-control geometry
Includes dive-control geometry for better cornering and vehicle-braking dynamics and anti-kickback geometry for better steering feel. The 9 inches of suspension travel increase trail comfort and aggressive riding capability.

Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame with Geometric Contact Control
The next generation and industry-exclusive Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame. The welded-steel frame incorporates new processes and updated geometry for increased structural integrity, improved durability and precision Precision-engineered handling. The more efficient SST G2 design offers increased strength compared to a traditional tubular steel chassis, a lower center of gravity, better Precision-engineered handling and requires far fewer components, materials and welds.

214-mm ventilated disc brakes with hydraulic twin-piston calipers
The front and rear setup use large 214-mm disc brakes with twin-piston calipers for superior stopping power.
Rider-focused design

Center skid plate
The high-strength skid plate is made from proven materials and is designed for supreme protection and has the ability to slide over certain obstacles. Made of 5-mm thick injection-molded high-density polyethylene (HDPE).

59-in. wheelbase
The passenger rides well in front of the rear axle for rock-solid stability and super predictable Precision-engineered handling.

5.7-gal (21.4L) water-resistant rear storage box
A huge 5.7-gallon (21.4L) rear storage box offers industry-leading cargo capacity and is located beneath the rear cargo rack. The more convenient location means riders can access the water-resistant, sealed storage box even when the rear cargo rack is loaded.

Improved ergonomic passenger comfort
A redesigned backrest reduces kickback and has added flex, plus is raised and more enveloping to boost lumbar support. The newly designed seat is angled for better comfort and more support.

1,300-lb (590 kg) towing capacity
The Outlander offers a sizeable, 1,300-pound towing capacity and a new 2-in. receiver hitch as standard equipment.

Multi-function digital gauge
Tells the rider everything in one easy glance. Our easy-to-read multi-function gauge is equipped with a digital information center including a speedometer, tachometer (bar graph RPM, bottom bar numerical), odometer, trip meter, gear position, hour meter, engine hour meter, temperature and engine lights, fuel gauge and a clock function.

Multi-function racks with LinQ quick-attach accessory system
The Outlander ATVs have redesigned cargo racks offering more convenience, greater durability, improved versatility and industry-leading cargo hauling prowess. High-strength, reinforced composite racks replace the tubular steel setup. The innovative racks feature an integrated anti-skid surface and elevated ridges for improved cargo holding. Numerous edges and holes improve use with tie-downs and bungee cords. Additional predetermined “cutouts” were also added for use with Can-Am’s exclusive LinQ accessory system, which is adaptable and customizable for various uses and products. LinQ accessories are already available from Can-Am dealers. Combined rack capacity is 300-lb (100-lb front / 200-lb rear).

Dual taillights
The Outlander taillights offer a stylish design and increased visibility for trail riding.

Easy access for maintenance
Can-Am engineers succeeded at producing a more maintenance-friendly setup. The battery was relocated beneath the seat to offer easier access and improved protection. The rear brake fluid reservoir, solenoid starter and relays were also placed under the seat.

Improved multi-position passenger handgrips
A new handhold shape flexes to reduce impact on the passenger’s hands, and is ergonomically designed for a more comfortable holding position.

Improved raised floorboards
Improved passenger floorboard angles to create a more natural resting position by improving the foot peg angle and depth. A third row of foot grips added to improve lateral adherence.

230-W headlights. The most lightning output of any ATV in the industry
Restyled headlights project Can-Am heritage and also offer enhanced visibility for trail riding. On high beam, the twin 60-W projectors and dual 55-W reflectors give the Outlander 230 -W of visual clarity.

Convertible Rack/Seat system (CRS) with storage box
Takes the Outlander MAX from one-up to two-up in a matter of seconds. Gives you plenty of storage in one-up mode and unmatched comfort and convenience for your passenger when riding two-up.

Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.™)
Outlander MAX models feature the exclusive D.E.S.S.™ anti-theft system. The ATV will not start unless a coded microchip in the key matches a code embedded in the engine control module. It means only you can start your vehicle.
Specific to Package

Visco-Lok† QE auto-locking front differential
All DPS-equipped models have the Visco-Lok† QE calibration up front, which has all the features and benefits of the standard quick-engagement Visco-Lok† differential, but with an even quicker engagement point. This differential, unlike some competitors’ differentials, does not have a speed limiter.

12-in. cast-aluminum wheels
The center-less design reduces unsprung weight and offers improved strength. Durability was increased in strategic areas while excess material was eliminated in other spots to save weight.
