2025 Can-Am Outlander XMR 850

The 2025 Can-Am Outlander 850 X MR is widely considered the best mud and trail ATVs in its class — and for good reason. It doesn’t just outperform — it dominates. Here’s why it’s better than the rest:

💥 1. Mud-Ready Power from a Beastly Rotax Engine

• The 850cc Rotax V-Twin delivers 82 horsepower — class-leading power in this size range

• Tuned specifically for low-end torque, which is exactly what you want in mud, steep climbs, or hauling

• Paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) with extra low L-gear, it powers through deep ruts and water without stalling or bogging

💡 Other ATVs in this range (like Polaris Sportsman 850) don’t match the same torque-focused performance in real-world mud conditions.

🌊 2. X MR = Extreme Mud Riding Package

This is not just a stock Outlander with a snorkel. The X MR trim is built for mud and includes:

• Relocated radiator to keep cool and avoid clogging in wet, muddy conditions

• Factory snorkeled CVT and engine intakes — ready for deep water out of the box

• 30-inch ITP Cryptid mud tires with 14-inch aluminum wheels

• Heavy-duty front and rear bumpers + 3,500-lb winch

🛠 No aftermarket upgrades needed — it’s trail and mud park-ready from Day 1.

🧭 3. Smart, Tough Suspension and Handling

• Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) gives you full control — light for tight trails, firmer for speed and stability

• Arched A-arms for added ground clearance and better obstacle handling

• Precision handling even with big tires and gnarly terrain

✅ Most competitors struggle to balance comfort and control in deep ruts — Can-Am nailed it.

🎯 4. Aggressive Yet Refined

• Bold styling with digital gauge cluster

• Premium seat and rider ergonomics built for long hauls or all-day mud play

• Multiple cargo tie-down points for gear or game

👀 It looks the part and performs even better.
