One of the nicest things about the 2013 Can-Am Outlander 500 is that it brings together two different characters in the same nifty package. This quad is a great blend of work-oriented capabilities and dependability and off-the-road fun and brawn, both able to make one's life better, no matter how rough the roads which must be trodden.
The 2013 Can-Am Outlander 500 offers half liter-class Rotax DNA: a v-twin engine which is both powerful and unintimidating, fairly easy to tame, thanks to the smooth automatic transmission and easy-to-use selectable 2/4WD drive modes.
With a revised chassis, this ATV promises better ground tracking and increased stability. Add in the independent suspensions and 214mm ventilated disc brakes, auto-locking front Visco-Lock differential and engine braking and the picture gets better and better.
For touring purposes, the 2013 Can-Am Outlander 500 offers extensive loading capacity on the dual racks and can accommodate numerous optional accessories for increased functionality, while the watertight storage in the rear offers a great solution for cellphones or important papers safekeeping. The base price is $6,799 (€5,230), which makes it affordable, too.
