2027 Can-Am Outlander DPS 500

The 2027 Can-Am Outlander DPS 500 adds Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering to the 40-horsepower Outlander. It’s the easiest-steering way into a 4×4 Can-Am.

Who the Outlander DPS 500 is for

Property owners, hunters and first-time ATV buyers who want Can-Am’s Rotax power and build quality without paying for a V-twin. The 500/700 Outlanders handle food plots, fence lines and weekend trail rides equally well.

What stands out

• Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering. Lighter steering in tight turns and less kickback over roots and ruts, with three assist levels.
• Rotax 650 single, 40 hp and 37 lb-ft (500). Smooth, fuel-injected power that’s plenty for chores and trail riding.
• Selectable 2WD/4WD with auto-locking front differential. Engages when you need traction without constant button pressing.
• pDrive CVT with low, high, neutral, reverse and park. A proper low range for pulling and crawling.
• Waterproof front storage and a glovebox with phone mount and charger. Keeps the small stuff dry and within reach.

What’s new for 2027

Every Outlander now uses Can-Am’s pDrive primary clutch, built for quicker response, lower maintenance and long service life. On MAX models, the passenger seat is now removable, so switching between solo and two-up riding takes less effort.

Outlander DPS 500 vs. Outlander DPS 700

Same chassis and power steering. The 700 adds 10 horsepower and more torque for towing and hills. For mostly trail riding and lighter chores, the DPS 500 is enough machine.

Common questions

500 or 700: which engine do I need?

Both use the same 650cc Rotax single. The 700 is tuned for 50 hp versus 40. For light chores and relaxed trail riding the 500 is plenty. If you’ll tow, carry a passenger or climb steep ground, the 700 is worth the extra money.

Who can ride a Outlander DPS 500 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.
