Can-Am Outlander 800R X mr - Can-AmTalk mud riders demand a different kind of performance from their ATV and the Outlander 800R EFI X mr delivers the goods. Can-Am worked with one of the most famous names in ATV mud performance, Gorilla Axle, to develop the Outlander X mr. The X mr starts with the longer wheelbase of the Outlander 800R MAX platform for performance in the deepest mud; then adds a host of features specific for the mud rider. The radiator is relocated to the front rack, keeping it high up on the ATV and out of the mud and water. Next, the CVT intake, CVT exhaust and engine air intake are located as high in the machine as possible to keep mud and water out of important components which keeps the rider going in the toughest of conditions. Then, BRP added an air-control suspension system allowing the rider to dial in their preferred ride height: high for when getting into the mud hole and lower for riding to and from the mud. Finally, no mud machine is complete without oversized wheels and tires. BRP adds premium ITP cast-aluminum wheels and Gorilla Axle Silverback tires for complete mud performance.

Can-Am ST-1 & ST-3 Helmets
If you thought the basic full faced motorcycle helmet had evolved as far as it ever
would - stop and take a look at the next step. The top of the line Can-Am ST-1
Hybrid helmet is an innovative, lightweight motorcycle inspired concept that has
multiple functionalities like no other. This helmet allows a rider to choose protection
depending on the weather by simply changing jaw pieces easily and quickly. Additionally,
because you're not carrying the extra weight of a modular design requiring
hinges and latches, the helmet remains very lightweight. Optional Can-Am ST-1 Full
Face jaw, Can-Am ST-1 Vented jaw and visor sold separately.
Also new for 2011 is the Can-Am ST-3 open-face helmet providing great protection
and value for recreational riding.

Can-Am ST-1 & ST-3 Helmets
If you thought the basic full faced motorcycle helmet had evolved as far as it ever
would - stop and take a look at the next step. The top of the line Can-Am ST-1
Hybrid helmet is an innovative, lightweight motorcycle inspired concept that has
multiple functionalities like no other. This helmet allows a rider to choose protection
depending on the weather by simply changing jaw pieces easily and quickly. Additionally,
because you're not carrying the extra weight of a modular design requiring
hinges and latches, the helmet remains very lightweight. Optional Can-Am ST-1 Full
Face jaw, Can-Am ST-1 Vented jaw and visor sold separately.
Also new for 2011 is the Can-Am ST-3 open-face helmet providing great protection
and value for recreational riding.For details on the complete 2011 Can-Am line-up and more information on each specific model, visit www.can-am.brp.com. To check out what everyone is saying about the 2011 Can-Am ATV and SxS models, visit the forums on Can-AmTalk.
