Help
I'm sure it has to do with the design of the current braking system, but geez... give us two levers up there, even if it doesn't separate front and rear brakes... during panic stops, I keep grabbing for that industry-standard brake lever on the right handlebar, but it's not there on my Outty.
Find it hard to believe this isn't a liability issue for Can-Am. Granted, they'd say I need to read my manual and be familiar with all controls prior to operating the machine, yada yada yada... but would it be that hard to pull the excellent Renegade system over and put it on the Outty??
Come on guys...!

I agree 100%!
I wish there was a right brake lever which controls only the front brakes. Prior to my Outlander, I had a Honda 350 Rancher and there were times when climbing hills that I wasn't able to make it all the way to the top. It was nice to have front brakes so that I could drag the front tires to reduce speed when rolling back down the hill. Front brakes only allows for greater control.
