The 2012 Can-Am Outlander DPS 500 is the smallest member of this ATV family, but it offers a performance level well comparable to what the bigger brothers bring to the game. The biggest technological advance in the DPS series is the Dynamic Power Steering, hence the name. This system offers no less than three selectable assistance modes, suitable for pretty much any scenario, and dramatically improving the riding experience.
This 500cc ATV sports the classic automatic transmission with switchable dual ratio, selectable 2/4WD, engine braking and automatic front differential locking, all making the 2012 Can-Am Outlander DPS 500 easy to maneuver on rough ground. The racks can haul up to 135 kg while the generous watertight storage provides a safe place for personal gear such as cell phones, documents and the like.
