The 2027 Can-Am Outlander Backcountry 1000R with 10.25-in. display is built for remote, rugged trails: 30-inch Iron Force tires, SHOWA shocks, full underbody protection and the 101-horsepower 1000R V-twin, with the 10.25-inch touchscreen.
Who the Outlander Backcountry 1000R is for
Riders heading for the mountains of western Virginia and beyond, where trails are rocky, remote and far from help. It’s also a strong pick for hunters who need to reach back-country stands.
What stands out
- 10.25-inch touchscreen. Built-in GPS with offline maps, Group Ride, BRP GO! navigation, accessory control and software updates over Wi-Fi.
- 30-inch XPS Iron Force tires. Tall, tough rubber that raises the machine and resists punctures.
- SHOWA gas shocks. Tuned for rough backcountry terrain.
- Full underbody protection. Covers the underside against rocks and stumps.
- Exclusive MultiCam Black styling. Stands out at the trailhead.
- 101-hp Rotax V-twin (1000R). Can-Am’s most powerful ATV engine ever, with acceleration to match.
What’s new for 2027
For 2027, Can-Am renamed the 82-hp Outlander 850 as the Outlander 1000, a better match for its 999cc V-twin. The 101-hp 1000R carries over. Select XT and Backcountry packages can now be ordered with Can-Am’s 10.25-inch touchscreen, and every Outlander uses the pDrive primary clutch.
With vs. without the 10.25-inch display
Same machine. The display adds built-in GPS with offline maps, Group Ride and accessory control, which is useful in remote country with no cell signal.
Common questions
1000 or 1000R: do I need the extra power?
The 1000’s 82 hp is already more than most riders use. The 1000R’s 101 hp is for riders who want the fastest acceleration available or plan to tow and climb at the limits. If you’re unsure, the 1000 is the practical choice.
Is the 10.25-inch display worth it?
If you ride unfamiliar trails, ride in groups or run a lot of accessories, yes. Built-in GPS with offline maps and Group Ride tracking are genuinely useful in the woods. If you ride the same ground every weekend, the standard gauge does the job.
Who can ride a Outlander Backcountry 1000R in Virginia?
Virginia limits riders under 16 to ATVs of 90cc or less, so this is an adult machine. Every rider must wear an approved helmet, and ATVs aren’t allowed on public roads except to cross one by the most direct route.
Can I carry a passenger?
Not legally. Virginia prohibits passengers on an ATV unless it’s designed and equipped for more than one rider, and this one is built for one. If you want to ride two-up, look at the MAX version.
