2008 Can-Am Outlander 400 H.O. EFI

Now the Can-Am^™ Outlanderä 400 H.O. comes standard with fuel injection, this gives every recreational-utility model in the Can-Am line up fuel injection! BRP is the first among its competitors to reach this milestone.

The recreation-utility category is a crowded one, but the Can-Am Outlander stands out with more standard adrenaline than any other competitor. That’s because each Outlander model features the most powerful engine in its class, electronic fuel injection, race-bred suspensions, the exclusive Visco-Lok^‡ front differential and other trick features.

The Outlander 400 H.O. EFI rules the 400cc class in horsepower – and even dominates 450cc competitors.

Outlander MAX model – Outlander MAX models are designed specifically for riding with a passenger. The longer vehicle wheelbase not only delivers rock-solid stability and super predictable handling with a passenger, but one-up, too. Ability to swap seat and rack extension box without tools makes the MAX model extremely versatile.

Outlander XT model – The Outlander XT models include popular aftermarket additions, including winch with remote control and cast aluminum wheels. Carlisle ACT radial tires, bumpers and more are installed at the factory. Buyers opting for the XT model save money over purchasing and installing all these features separately. Plus, these items are covered by the factory warranty.

Outlander 400 H.O. EFI Key Features

NEW! Electronic Fuel Injection – Now the Outlander 400 H.O. comes standard with EFI. Large 46mm throttle body gives the 400 H.O. the most power in its class, even to some machines in the class with larger engine displacements.

Visco-Lok Front Differential – Progressively transfers power from a slipping front wheel to the gripping one – automatically with no buttons to push or levers to pull. Plus, there’s no wheel hop or driveline wind-up so the system is totally transparent to the driver and extremely easy to steer. Can lock up to 100% with no rev or speed limiter.

Trailing Torsional Independent (TTI) Rear Suspension – Trailing arm design provides more control and stability, especially in rough terrain, by eliminating scrub. Wheels move rearward as they move up and down, producing a smoother ride than the competition, and does not steer from the rear. Plus, TTI has 75% fewer parts than competitive designs and significantly decreases tire wear

MacPherson strut front suspension – Compact design is lightweight, and provides precise handling and a plush ride.

Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) frame – Rather than the common tubular box, the SST frame is a single spar that is lightweight, yet strong. It contributes to the Outlander’s benchmark power-to-weight ratio and low centre of gravity.

NEW! Multi-function digital gauge – New gauge is easy to read with even more functions, including:

Digital speedometer
Digital tachometer
Bar graph RPM
Numerical RPM
Odometer
Trip meter
Diagnostic center
Gear position
High/low beam indicator

Hour meter
Engine hour meter
4x4 indicator
Temperature/Engine lights
Electronic fuel gauge
Low fuel light
Auto shut off after 15 minutes

NEW! Painted steel rims – for a more high-tech style

25-inch (63cm) Ohtsu H-track tire – Lightweight, great handling on base model 400

NEW! Rear fascia, tail light and regulator cover – For a more finished appearance; protects rear wire harness, connectors

Inboard disc brake – Unique design reduces unsprung weight and helps centralize masses for more responsive handling. Also better protects against mud and debris.

Front and rear steel racks – 100-pound (45 kg) capacity in front, 200 pounds (90 kg) in back.

Outlander MAX Features

Longer vehicle wheelbase – The passenger rides well in front of the rear axle for rock-solid stability and super predictable handling.

Stadium-style seating – The passenger rides above the driver, stadium-style, so they can see down the trail.

Passenger comfort features – A well-padded active backrest moves with rider. Raised footrests and multi-position handholds add comfort.

Convertible Rack System (CRS) – The passenger seat can be removed and replaced with a rack-extension/totable cargo box in just seconds, without tools. BRP offers several accessories, such as a cargo box and touring box that interface seamlessly with the CRS system.
