CAN-AM/ BRP Outlander 500 499 (2008 - 2009) Description & History: The 2008 Can-Am Outlander 500 is the bigger version of the basic 400 model,with a slightly bigger engine this time in a v-twin configuration and retaining all the off-road-worthy features. Perfect for off-the-road fun, this quad can also be a handy asset for work-related tasks which involve covering large areas of rough ground or hauling voluminous or heavy gear.
With independent suspensions, the 2008 Outlander 500 offers excellent ground tracking and fast, safe passage across large areas of less rider-friendly terrain, forest trails and plain roads, alike. The selectable 2/4WD and high/low ratios are great additions to the automatic transmission and are usable on the fly, for even more convenience on varying types of surfaces.
Talking about loading capacity, the sturdy spacious racks accommodate up to 135 kg of luggage, so the 2008 Can-Am Outlander 500 is also ready for long exploration trips too, as it provides room for some extra fuel, too.
