2026 Can-Am Outlander XMR 1000R

Hey there gearhead — picture this: you roll up to the trailhead, birds hush, squirrels freeze, mud ruts quiver — because you’re riding the 2026 Can‑Am Outlander XMR 1000R. Here’s why this beast isn’t just an ATV, it’s a swagger‑mobile with mud‑gripping claws.

Why it’s a legend in muddy jeans

1. “Mud. What mud?” mode
   It’s built literally for mud. Snorkeled CVT & engine intake & exhaust, relocated radiator, high‑flow cooling fan (120W / 500 cc), and 30‑inch XPS Swamp King XL tires that make muck look like a baby puddle. More power than your neighbor’s ego
   Rotax 999 cc V‑twin, 101 hp, 69 lb-ft torque. Enough grunt to pull you out of trouble or make nasty terrain yell “uncle.” 

2. Control freak mode ON
   Selectable 2WD/4WD/Lock‑4WD with Visco‑4Lok front differential, plus driving modes (Work / Standard / Sport) & Intelligent Engine Braking (so you don’t end up playing bumper cars with trees). 

3. Suspension & build that says “Dishonor on mud bias”
   SHOWA shocks, arched double A‑arms, long travel especially in the rear (~10.2 in or more), all protected by full skid plates, tough bumpers, and aluminum foot pegs that won’t bend when you drop it (and yes, you’ll drop it). 

4. Kit & features so you don’t feel like you’re dragging old boots

   • 3,500‑lb winch with synthetic rope — because sometimes you bring the winch, sometimes the winch has to bring you. 

   • Full digital display, LED signature lighting, relocated front bumper, rear bumper, etc. 

The fun‑sales pitch you didn’t know you needed

Look, this thing is like the superhero of ATVs. The Outlander XMR 1000R is “the one you call” when the other machines are whining at patches of sludge, complaining about rock stairs, or refusing to give you enough torque to haul your trailer of firewood or whatever ridiculous stuff you haul.

You’ll feel like a mud lord, like every hill you see is just a speed bump. You’ll show up at camp covered in grime, your buddies will ask “How did you make it through that swamp?”, and you’ll just wink, wipe mud from your visor, and say “What swamp?”

Tiny downside so you go in eyes open

• Fuel appetite? She’s thirsty. Under heavy throttle or mud slogging, you’ll burn more gas than easy‑going machines.

• Weight & size: not a “finesse machine.” It’s built rugged, so you’ll notice it when loading/unloading or maneuvering tight spots.

• Maintenance: that mud approval means more cleaning, more greasing, more checks. But that’s part of the joy (if you’re weird like me).

If this beast were a puppy car, it’d be a Rottweiler on steroids, covered in grime, wagging its chain, ready to drag you into adventures.
