Vehicle Information
Can-Am Outlander 500 ATV (2007-2026)
The Can-Am Outlander 500, a versatile ATV, has been a staple in the utility-recreational segment from 2007 to 2026. Known for its robust performance and adaptability, it caters to a wide range of riders. Over its production run, this model has seen significant evolution in its engine configurations and available trim levels, ensuring it remains a competitive choice for both work and leisure. Initially, from 2007 to approximately 2017, the Outlander 500 was powered by a 499.6cc liquid-cooled Rotax V-twin engine, producing around 40.4 horsepower. A notable update in 2015 introduced the "L" series, featuring a slightly more powerful 46 hp version of the V-twin and a new SST G2 frame. The "Outlander 500" designation was then largely replaced by the Outlander 570 from 2018 to 2022. However, the nameplate made a significant return mid-year 2023, introducing a completely new platform. This latest generation, extending to 2026, features a 650cc single-cylinder Rotax ACE engine, delivering 40 horsepower, alongside a new chassis, pDrive clutch, and improved ergonomics. Q: How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my Outlander 500?
A: Due to significant changes in engine and platform across different years, it is crucial to use the year and edition selector on this page to find parts specifically compatible with your vehicle.
