2027 Can-Am Outlander Backcountry 1000R ATV

The 2027 Can-Am Outlander Backcountry 1000R is built for remote, rugged trails: 30-inch XPS Iron Force tires, SHOWA gas shocks, full underbody protection and the 101-horsepower 1000R V-twin, finished in exclusive MultiCam Black.

Who the Outlander Backcountry 1000R is for

Riders heading for the mountains of western Virginia and beyond, where trails are rocky and far from help. It’s also a strong pick for hunters who need to reach back-country stands.

What stands out

• 30-inch XPS Iron Force tires. Tall, tough rubber that lifts the machine over obstacles.
• SHOWA gas shocks. Tuned for rough backcountry terrain.
• Full underbody protection. Covers the underside against rocks and stumps.
• 101-hp V-twin (1000R). Strong torque for climbing, hauling and towing.
• Exclusive MultiCam Black styling. Stands out at the trailhead.
• Weather-tight front bin, removable rear box and LinQ-ready racks. Secure storage that’s built into the machine.

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, and every Outlander now uses the pDrive primary clutch.

Outlander Backcountry 1000R vs. Outlander Backcountry 1000R with 10.25-inch display

Same machine. The display version adds built-in GPS with offline maps, Group Ride and accessory control, which is useful in remote country with no cell signal. If you ride the same ground every weekend, this standard version does the job.

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.

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.
