The 2027 Can-Am Outlander MAX XT 700 is the fully equipped two-up single-cylinder Outlander: a winch, heavy-duty bumpers and power steering, on the long MAX chassis with a real passenger seat.
Who the Outlander MAX XT 700 is for
Couples, parents riding with an older child, and anyone who wants the option to bring a passenger. MAX models have a longer wheelbase and a dedicated passenger seat with a raised backrest and handholds, and they ride solo just as well.
What stands out
- 3,500-lb winch and heavy-duty bumpers. Ready for recovery and property work out of the crate.
- Built for two. A raised passenger seat that comes off for solo riding.
- Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering. Lighter steering in tight turns and less kickback over roots and ruts, with three assist levels.
- Rotax 650 single, 50 hp and 41 lb-ft (700). The same engine as the 500 in a stronger tune, which you’ll notice most when towing or climbing.
- Selectable 2WD/4WD with auto-locking front differential. Engages when you need traction without constant button pressing.
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.
MAX XT 700 vs. MAX XT 1000
The 1000 moves to Can-Am’s 82-hp V-twin. With two riders and gear aboard, the extra torque makes steep climbs and towing much more relaxed. The 700 is the better value if your riding is mostly moderate terrain.
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 MAX XT 700 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?
Yes. MAX models are designed and equipped for two, which is what Virginia law requires before you carry a passenger.
