Enough talk already, it was time to find out how this aggressive-looking monster performed. First off, the four-stroke 800cc V-twin was more than a handful in almost any scenario-no surprise since it's the same raging mill housed in the powerhouse Outlander 800. If power is what you desire, we have found your match. The Renegade felt right at home on open trails that allowed high speeds. But as the forest closed in tightly, I had to be much more attentive. As thrilling as the 800cc motor was, I found myself fighting to keep the front tires away from the trunks of the trees. Turning was difficult, especially when pounding out trails aggressively, as the front tires tended to push. Fortunately, the Can-Am engineers on hand were taking improvement notes to add to the feedback from the factory GNCC race team. This was, after all, a handmade $45,000 prototype, so Can-Am conceded that tweaking and improvements were still taking place. I can't wait to try a polished production unit, as overcoming impossible obstacles is where the Renegade will shine. The IRS and 4WD capabilities it inherited from the Outlander made tackling even the roughest of terrain a cinch.
2007 Outlander Max 800 H.O. EFI 4x4 Limited
Imagine altering the Outlander 800 along with its enormous power, handling and smooth ride so it comfortably seats two riders. Can-Am did just that while keeping all the standard Outlander's features, such as EFI, IRS, inboard hydraulic brakes and the massive 800cc Rotax engine. And Can-Am offers it in a Limited Edition package endowed with a removable GPS system, steel-gray metallic paint job, silver seat trim, polished cast-aluminum wheels, mud guards and muffler trim. If your budget allows, the $11,599 Limited Edition Outlander 800 Max is a top-notch work of art almost too pretty to ride.
