2013 Can-Am Renegade 500
Sport 4×4 Performance.
The RenegadeTM 500 ATV maintains its role as the value-based sport 4×4 in the Can-Am® family, but is completely redesigned for 2013. The EFI-fed Rotax® V-twin engine has been refined to supply 46 horsepower, a 15% increase over the previous model year. The four-stroke engine now rests in high-tech Surrounding Spar Technology (SST G2) frame that not only increases the comfort levels, but also improves its overall handling and suspension. The new configuration also allows easier access to maintenance items, improves operating efficiency (new radiator, CVT cover and air box).
The Renegade still leads the way in sport performance and 4×4 terrain ability, from the 82-hp Rotax 1000 model through to the 40.4-hp Rotax 500 model. With its innovative chassis, it will change the way you experience ATV handling. With more control and more natural handling the Renegade performs better on the trail and on changing terrain.

2013 Can-Am Renegade 500 Features and Benefits
Industry-leading performance
Rotax® V-Twin engine options
Available with a 46-hp Rotax 500, 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.
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).
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.
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.
Precision-engineered handling
Double A-arm 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.
Independent front and rear brake controls
Independent front and rear brake controls for a sportier ride.
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.
Visco-Lok† auto-locking 4×4 front differential
The Visco-Lok† 4 x 4 system constantly monitors front wheel speed and, if it detects one wheel spinning faster than the other, it progressively sends more power to the wheel with the better traction. And it does it all without the rider having to lift a finger.
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.
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.
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.
25-in. ITP‡ Holeshot ATR sport radial tires
A versatile tire for proven, all-around trail Industry-leading performance and traction in a wide variety of conditions.
Rider-focused design
Full floorboards with kick-up aluminum footpegs
Battery and electrical components relocated underneath seat for easy maintenance
Can-Am engineers succeeded at producing a more maintenance-friendly setup. Battery and electrical components relocated underneath seat for easy maintenance
Center skid plate
An aluminum skid plate provides extra protection for extreme riding situations and brutal terrain.
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.
Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.™)
Renegade 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.
