The difference is pretty big. Also, it has a lot to do with how you ride. Most people with a bigger bore machine probably ride them harder. My wife's uncle moved up from a 400 to an 800 twin ATV (roughly, forgot the model/brand), but I do remember him talking about having to carry extra fuel for the trails he enjoys. Edit: I want power and the ability to cruise efficiently. The 1000cc market is nice, but honestly, a 650 or 800 twin (in that range) is probably enough. Maybe even a good old honest 700 big bore.
have a 2015 Outlander XT 650 love it and plenty of power to get my big 230lb ass movin anything more then that i would be getting in more trouble then i get it already
I came from riding a Honda Foreman 1998 ES to a 2019 can am outlander max 650 and I feel like it drives like a Cadillac. I have never driven any other models but would love to drive a sportsman, king quad and a grizzly.
It would be a huge upgrade in comfort, your quad has a solid rear axle, all the modern day utility quads have independent rear suspension, which would feel like riding on a cloud compared to yours
I think you're wrong on the comfort assessment. I went from a 08 BF650I to a 2019 Outlander Max XT 850 and this thing is plush, especially riding 2up. There aren't any harsh kick back going over bumps like what I'm used to and It's all day long comfort that handles like a dream.
Another great one man. This channel is right up my alley. How do you like riding the 2-up vs the shorter wheel base traditional quads? I always avoided them because of longer wheel base but since I also started riding side by sides, I can't see that as much of an issue anymore!
Thanks for watching! The two-up I rode was an 850, but I also spent a lot of time on an XT 1000R. Having the longer wheelbase (it's eight inches longer) on the MAX feels a little more tame and predictable, which just means that it's a little more comfy but feels less aggressive. The XT 1000R is a monster, and the shorter wheelbase definitely makes it jumpy and excitable in the best kind of way. Steep rock faces were also dealt with a little better on the shorter wheelbase machine as well.
That throttle by wire to me could be a bullet to that atv. I'm sure it works great while it works but when it doesnt then what? You cant ride it. I will stay with a throttle cable.
I love my can am. Yes I know they have a few issues just like other brands but when you ride and feel the power of their products it makes up for everything bad.
Blame the government? Why would we blame the government when we (the people of Canada, the government) have given 100's of millions of dollars to Bombardier in bail-out money because they can't successfully make a profit? No other company* in the history of Canada has been given that kind of financial assistance and yet they turn their back on Canadian workers and send the production plants to Mexico? It's disgusting! * the only other company to receive similar assistance is Air Canada & that's because they were owned by the government for so many years.
Like I said, our governments have given them 100's of millions of dollars already. Why do they need tax breaks on top of that & why should we give them tax breaks? Be a good corporate citizen and pay your share of the taxes so it doesn't all fall on the middle class. Bombardier generates over 16 billion dollars in revenue annually. They're greedy and they blackmailed the Canadian people. And after taking all of our tax dollars via bail-outs, they pick up and move several of their companies to other countries. WHAAAAAT!? Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with a company moving their manufacturing to another country. It's their business & they can do what they want with it, but not after they steal my money. I'd never buy another BRP product for that reason alone.
@@jerrybens8032 To each their own, they found a loophole and jumped through it. I would've done the same thing had it been my decision. In the world of business, morals take the low road when it comes to getting ahead. At the end of the day it's all about the bottom dollar, if they can produce the same thing for less money (higher profits), who am I to argue.
0 f@@magnuslikestanks6044 I have a sportsman 850 and a 550, nothing rides like them, nothing climbs like them. they are good in mud but not as good as others.

@@rrrrkoop2776 I used to have a Sportsman 570. Sold it and bought a 2019 650cc outlander instead. I really liked the Polaris, but when I switched to Can Am it was a night and day difference to me. Both in terms of driveabilty and reliability.
@@izom No one did, until now... ;-) I definately could see the use for this in Arizona, as we have wide open trails, and rocky sections to crawl on the same trail.
Twist throttle can get you in some trouble when you start hitting bumps you can accidentally start twisting by accident thumb you just take your thumb off.
I sold my Arctic Cat with 100 miles on it.. I owned two of them they kept breaking down. Know I'm going to try one of these n hope I do better. Thought of Honda but going for this.
Honda make good reliable machines, very underpowered though and offer very little excitement. Usually your Honda shopper wouldn't look at a Can Am and vice versa. Both built very well, but one pushes boundaries which comes at a cost (reliability), while the other chooses reliability over all else.
Owned a canam for 2 years no issues. Owned a Honda for two years only issue I had was my battery. Quick fix tho. Just take car of your machines and they last
Christian Miller exactly, people hate on some companies for their reliability, but they just don’t take care of them. People especially get on Polaris, but we have never had a problem with them
great review! Ive had 2017 and now a 2018 outty 650 max xt and LOVE them. The new front sway bar would help though, they can roll in the corners if you're not an experienced rider. Active riding is vital on outlanders but it's boring to just sit there and steer! Hands down they're just the sexiest quad money can buy.
Nicely done review. While most people will love the fact that CanAm has lowered the price on their units, every Canadian should actually hate it. Why you ask? The 100's of millions of dollars the Canadian government has thrown at Bombardier (and continues to do so) for bail-out money to keep that company afloat is absolutely ridiculous and should be classified as criminal! For some reason the 10+ billion dollars we (the rest of Canada) gives to Quebec every year isn't enough, we have to bail-out their poorly ran companies too.
BRP Inc. (Bombardier Recreational Products) is a Canadian company making various vehicles. Once part of Bombardier Inc., it was founded in 1942 as L'Auto-Neige Bombardier Limitée (Bombardier Snowmobile Limited) by Joseph-Armand Bombardier at Valcourt in the Eastern Townships, Quebec. In 2003, Bombardier Inc. sold its Recreational Products Division to a group of investors: Bain Capital (50%), the Bombardier family (35%), and the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (15%).
Love the video man! :) However, you never added the prices for the Max & Max XT lines like you're test driving in the video. I love Can-Am, & I'm super grateful they chose to widen out the 2019 Outlanders, upgrade them, & shockingly, lower the price tag. I was starting to think I should convert to Polaris! Lol!
I’ve heard they go into a limp mode quite often so u might get home very late. I’ll stick with Honda reliability anyway go with way less horsepower and no breakdowns ever u will get back to camp on time
@@gregrowe1168 I've had them all and if they aren't taken care of they all will break I've never taken a motor out of a polaris. If You want to do heavy mud running it dosnt matter what you buy they need upgrades. They all have build and fitment issues I just happen to like polaris I'm sure their are plenty of people who like polaris and plenty who like can am I just happen to like polaris.
I've owned several Sportsmans and now I own a Can Am 1000 XT. I decided to try Can Am this time because I was disappointed with Polaris reliability. I must say that I much prefer the handling of Polaris. The reliability of Can Am hasn't been much better in the last two years.
@@EastCoastATV they all have their ups and downs I currently own a 2018 Polaris sportsman 1000xp limited I am very impressed with the handling and the power with three way driving modes. I also was very impressed with the can-am's power and how it came on instantly. I think polaris has made all the right improvements for this model year just hoping they continue to improve.
Can-Am lowered prices? Wow that is cool. That is unheard of.
I just bought a 850XT 2019 and cant wait to get it out!! I used to have a 335 polaris 1999 heh bit of a difference
is there a difference,what is better can-am vs polaris ??
@@damirivancic4964 between 1999 and a2019? are you serious?
also as far as fuel goes dont just buy any 91 octane find a station that doesn't add ethanol.
Those trails are absolutely epic!!!
I wish they listed mpg on the 650 vs 850 vs 1000

Just got my fisrt atv and its the can am 450 outlander max. Love it. Great video
Best review yet. Great work, gentlemen.
This guy can talk very well !!!!
How does a Can-Am compare to a Honda Rancher regarding maintenance cost?
I want to buy one I have the money but I'm scared of the weight limit I don't know if my weight will effect the performance
What would be the most comfortable ATV

Do belts slip alot when going uphill? Alot of belt problems with outlanders?
Very nice video, great content! High fives!
The 570 has some ass on it. Just because it is not a 1000 does not mean its slow, this quad gets up and goes!
I love can am products but I would NEVER buy from a Quebec company that moved production from Quebec to Mexico

Are you driving through a creek in BC??
Weird to see a video in bc. Especially in my hometown of sicamous
Lol I live here to
I have asked MULTIPLE CanAm dealers to let me know when they are doing demo days, ZERO responses!
And ,yes, I too am in beautiful BC!
Can you please do a review on the 450 outlander xt
How about the polaris sportsman? Do you have a review or comparison ? Witch is better ?? I’m trying to decide for my first atv. Tnks!
In my opinion, Can Am is superior. Way less plasticy and more robust. But you should probably try them both if you can.

Excellent review! Well done.
91 horsepower?? The engine has knock-sensors?!? Sport mode?!?!!?!? What is this????
"Follow the white rabbit, Neo." ;)
those modes are BS- who changes modes while ridin!??
@@izom No one did, until now... ;-) I definately could see the use for this in Arizona, as we have wide open trails, and rocky sections to crawl on the same trail.
I've always wondered why these type machines have a thumb throttle rather than a traditional twist grip throttle.
TheStwat aka Stuart Wright you can convert if you want
Twist throttle can get you in some trouble when you start hitting bumps you can accidentally start twisting by accident thumb you just take your thumb off.
Ah yes, I can see how that would be a problem. Especially on the early three wheelers. Thanks for the info folks. :)
@@hillhound523 dirt bikes handle it pretty well apparently
Drive by wire is a gift from the devil!
Drive by wires hit cars in 2004-2005 still around too. Has a limp mode so if it shoots craps u can idle along slowly. On cars dont know about atvs.

You need a grizzly vtwins are fun but pricey
