The 2027 Can-Am Outlander XT 1000 is the V-twin Outlander with the extras already included: a winch, upgraded bumpers and more exterior protection.
Who the Outlander XT 1000 is for
Riders who want the most capable ATV they can buy, whether that means long trail days in the mountains, serious towing or getting across big properties quickly. It’s also for experienced riders coming from older, smaller quads who want a real step up.
What stands out
- Winch and upgraded bumpers standard. Factory-fit for recovery and property work.
- More exterior protection. Extra guarding where trails do their damage.
- 82-hp Rotax V-twin, 66 lb-ft (1000). Strong, smooth power that makes towing and climbing effortless.
- LinQ racks. Add or swap boxes, bags and coolers in seconds, no tools needed.
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.
XT 1000 vs. XT 1000R
Same equipment; the 1000R has the 101-hp version of the V-twin versus 82 hp. The 1000 is plenty for most riders and costs less.
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.
Who can ride a Outlander XT 1000 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.
