I love them. I have the hd7 engine in my defender max and it’s a torque monster. Plenty of juice in the single cylinder. I can’t imagine it in a atv. It’s the smoothest and quietest single I’ve ever been around. If been really debating going back to atvs and this exactly model you picked up is high on my short list. Only problem is can’t seem to find one right now.
Great vid! I bought the HD7 pro xu and love it way more than my Honda Rubi. Did you have to take the back rack off to fit the box and do you find the box good quality and durable. Does the box bounce around at all? Cheers from Alberta 🍻
I did the same on my Pro XU HD7 and it made quite a difference. A lot smoother now. I will save the stiffer settings for when I’m loaded down or towing.
@@BC_Hunter I’ve owned a 2008 800 Outty and currently own a 2017 1000R XT-P. The 2008 actually handled better than the 2017. So unless they also changed the frame on the 2023…. I can’t see me buying another. They’re way too tippy.
Congrats! That does look good. Can't wait until mine arrives. I have an odd question for you: what's the dimension from the center of the rear wheel to the farthest point in the front? The bumper I guess. Also, what's the tire track dimension, outside to outside? I ask because i want to see if I have enough room to load it on my Diamondback bed cover. Also, good note about the springs. I figured they were going to be much stiffer since this has the best ground clearance. For the slow technical trails I ride, I go to the softer settings and even remove the sway bar to get max travel. Looking forward to more video!
@@BC_Hunter Yeah, I know it's a strange measurement (front bumper to rear axle) but because I will load it on top of my bed cover, I need to know if the rear wheels fit on the top before the front bumper hits the back of the cab. I need it to be 70" or less.
@@Dusdaddy Ok so I measured as best as I could with a tape measure by myself. From the middle of the rear center tire to the part that sticks out the furthest on the front bush bar is approximately 70”.
Hey BC Hunter, Greetings from Alberta. I purchased the Pro XU HD7 and am very please so far with 155 km on it. I was wondering if you could post a pic of your front A Arm guards. I bought them but no installation guide on line and was hoping to see how they line up. Thanks, KC
Got it figured out so no need for a photo. I watched your other video and got a look at the guards. Just had to drill out the rivets on the plastic guards first. Thanks for posting and I gave you a sub.
Man that looks incredible, great to see the all warning decals removed 👍👍 I am finding conflicting information on line regarding the front diff-lock, does it have selectable front diff lock or automatic?
Yes it has its own selectable front locker. It also has auto lock in regular 4 wheel drive. I’ve only had to use the front locker once up in the Yukon on a hunting trip. Crazy terrain and it had no problem. It’s an amazing machine. Very happy with the purchase.
They suggest 75kms for belt break in. Keep it under 30kms and in L gear. Don’t go the same speed all the time. Also, for every hour of riding, let it cool for 30 minutes. I guess too much heat during initial belt break in “could” do belt damage. For complete Engine break in, they suggest 300kms (including the 75km belt break in) of adjusted speeds with no more than 3/4 throttle power. I believe they talk about it in the manual book included.
curious as to difference performance wise, between this and XT model. Reviews say different clutching and gearing on some models, I like this model but wondering if its slower than XT 700. And if so is it actually snappier in the bottom and mid range?
So this model and the XMR have a 10% gear reduction. Lots of low to mid end torque. I dragged raced my buddies Grizzly 700 and beat him in sports mode. It’s still moves very good. You won’t be disappointed!
I wonder if the pro is stiffer than xt because its preloaded more on stiff setting or if its different springs and shocks all together i really want the pro but i want the soft ride of the xmr or xt ..... would you happen to know? If its same springs and shocks just adjusted stiffer then i would get pro and put it back to soft?
@@freddyw4555 I wanted a single cylinder with Front locker. The extra engine braking also helps when towing a heavy trailer and going down steep inclines in the bush during hunting season. I also like the the three different selections of braking to choose from depending on what kind of ride I'm going on. Kind of like choosing your 3 options for power steering. Overall, I've been nothing but impressed with it so far after over a year of riding and putting it through some extremely challenging terrain.
I wonder how much more the Camo 700 pro is compared to the camo 500 pro with all the extra fees and taxes. I’m in the market but haven’t called around for quotes just yet.
@@BC_Hunter just want to use it mostly for hunting and fishing here in Alaska. Gotta be able to haul out moose. It looks like the torque numbers are around the same but 10 less hp. I’ll check it out thanks.

No I didn’t take the rack off. It’s sits in there with the Qlink system. Doesn’t bounce around whatsoever.
So I adjusted the shocks and feels much better.

What settings did you adjust the shocks too?
@@sean8540I adjusted them one notch down on all 4 sides.
@@BC_Hunter awesome thanks!
I Got 60 hrs on my HD5 and has pretty decent power rides great. Yes they are way bigger in person.!
Nice. Was gona get same one went with camo grizz instead.
Grizzly is a great machine no doubt.
Can’t go wrong with the grizzly !! 👍
Smart! Canams have friggin squeaky bushings, lousy shocks and lousy clutches. Gotta throw $1,500 extra at them just to make them tolerable,
@@beri232 And they addressed all those issues with this new model. I’ve owned CanAms before. Take one for a spin.

Does it come with a front diff locker please and thank you please 🙏 answer hello from Canada 🇨🇦 also
Yes it does.

Thanks man, thats the exact machine I've been looking for, for years. Back to snow today in Prince George, cant wait for the dirt season 🥳
is it a good smooth trail riding machine?
does it have sport mode?
Rides great. Yes it has sport mode.
let me know how it rides after you adjust the springs
I adjusted them down one notch and feels much better.
I was just curious you say this out the door was 18000 or was that for the grizzly canadian. Nice review.
The Grizzly was $18,300 CDN. out the door.
what's the break in period please? We just picked ours up today and we were told there wasn't really a break in period.. Thanks

They do. It’s a BRP OEM product.

I’m not sure if they’re different springs. I like that they include a key to change the stiffness though.
Both front and back have u joints ?
Yes
WoW they are Real expensive up that way
Yup
Canam always had good engine braking so why a switch

About a $1k difference I believe

Ok thanks for the info. Congrats on the new ride!
Do you think the extra power is worth the 1000? They got a hunter hd5 at my local dealer in about to pull the trigger on.
@@Kram2462 I’d say so but I don’t know what your needs are? Watch Dirt Trax new review on it.

Is it four wheel drive
All of the outlander pros are 4wd
Let us know how you like it when you get a couple thousand kms on it
I live in Canada and own a 1000R Outlander XT-P. It’s my second Canam and it’ll be my last. I’m going back to Yamaha
