Premium Two Up Touring
The MAX chassis is built for two. A longer wheelbase makes room for a raised passenger seat with handgrips and footrests, and it adds stability on hills and rough ground. This premium trim builds on that foundation with comfort and convenience features aimed at riders who spend long days on the trail. Exact equipment can vary, so ask our team for the full feature list on this unit before you buy.
For couples and riding partners who want to explore trail systems together, a big bore two up ATV offers a unique mix of agility, comfort and capability that is hard to match.
Big Bore Power for Two
Carrying two adults and gear takes power, and the 976cc Rotax V-twin delivers. With about 91 horsepower and strong torque, it climbs steep grades and accelerates confidently even with a full load. That reserve of power makes riding more relaxed, since the engine never feels strained. Fuel injection and liquid cooling ensure dependable performance in all seasons.
Comfort Features That Matter on Long Rides
Long rides reveal the difference between a basic ATV and a premium one. Dynamic Power Steering reduces fatigue, the seats are supportive for both riders, and well tuned suspension keeps the ride smooth over rocks and roots. Depending on equipment, features such as heated grips, a winch and premium wheels add comfort and capability.
- Dynamic Power Steering for light, controlled steering
- Raised, padded passenger seat with handgrips
- Long wheelbase stability
- LinQ racks for touring storage
Utility When You Need It
Even a touring focused ATV needs to work. With a towing rating of about 1,650 lbs, low range and selectable 4WD, it handles trailers, firewood, food plot tools and property chores. The LinQ racks accept storage boxes, gun boots and tool holders without tools.
Why Riders Choose a Can-Am Outlander MAX 1000
Shoppers comparing two up ATVs often land on the Can-Am Outlander MAX 1000 because it combines the most power in the lineup with a comfortable passenger setup. More power means less effort on climbs, smoother passing on wide trails and an engine that never feels overworked, even when both riders and a full load of gear are aboard. It also holds its value well, since big bore two up machines remain in demand on the used market.
Who Should Choose the 1000R MAX
Riders who want the most power available in a two up ATV, couples who ride long trail systems, and hunters who carry a partner and heavy gear will appreciate the extra capability of the 1000R engine over the 700 class. If you mostly ride short distances at moderate speeds, the 700 MAX may be all you need.
Riding Two Up Safely
Only carry a passenger on an ATV built for two, and make sure the passenger can reach the footrests and hold both handgrips. Both riders should wear DOT approved helmets, eye protection, gloves, boots and long clothing. Brief your passenger to lean with you in turns and stay seated. Brake earlier, corner more gently and leave extra room on climbs and descents, since the added weight changes how the ATV handles.
Planning Long Trail Days
Pack water, snacks, a first aid kit, a tow strap, basic tools and a charged phone. Storage boxes on the LinQ racks keep gear dry and secure. Stop every hour to stretch and check the machine, watch your fuel level and turn back with plenty of reserve. Check trail rules in advance, since some areas set width limits or require specific equipment.
Break In and Care
Follow the owner manual during break in, varying speed and avoiding heavy towing in the first hours, then complete the first service on schedule. Keep up with oil, filters, CVT belt inspections and grease fittings, and check tire pressure before each ride.
ATV or Side by Side for Two
Many couples weigh a two up ATV against a compact side by side. The ATV is narrower, so it fits trails with width limits and tight trees, and it is more engaging to ride since you steer with the bars and move with the machine. It usually costs less and takes less space on a trailer. A side by side adds a roll cage, belts and a cargo box. If you love the feel of riding and want access to narrow trails, a two up ATV is often the better choice.
Who Is the Can-Am Outlander MAX 1000 For?
- Couples who want a premium two up ATV
- Trail riders who cover long distances
- Hunters who carry a partner and heavy gear
- Riders upgrading from a 700 class two up ATV

Ownership Tips for Your Can-Am Outlander MAX 1000
Registration, Insurance and Permits
Before the first ride, check the registration and trail permit rules in your state or country. Many trail systems require an off highway vehicle sticker, and some lenders require insurance coverage. Keep your bill of sale, statement of origin or title, and registration documents together in a safe place so the paperwork is ready when you need it.
Transporting Your Machine
Use a trailer or truck bed rated for the weight of the Outlander MAX 1000R, strong ramps and four quality ratchet straps attached to frame points rather than racks or plastic. Recheck the straps after the first few miles and at every fuel stop.
The Break In Period
Follow the break in instructions in the owner’s manual. Vary engine speed, avoid full throttle and heavy loads for the first hours of use and complete the first service on time. A careful break in helps the engine, belt and drivetrain last longer.
Routine Maintenance
Check the oil, coolant, tire pressure and brakes before every ride. Clean or replace the air filter often in dusty conditions, inspect the CVT belt, grease suspension and steering fittings, and change differential fluids on schedule. Riding in mud and water calls for shorter service intervals and a careful wash after every outing.
- Engine oil and filter at the recommended interval
- Air filter inspection after dusty or muddy rides
- CVT belt and clutch inspection
- Front and rear differential fluid changes
- Brake pad and fluid checks
- Grease points, CV boots and wheel bearings
Pre Ride Checklist
- Tire pressure and tread condition
- Brakes, throttle and steering operation
- Oil and coolant levels
- Lights and kill switch
- Racks and cargo secured within rated limits
- Fuel for the full ride plus a reserve
Protecting Resale Value
Keep every service receipt, store the machine indoors or under a breathable cover, keep the battery on a tender during long breaks and avoid extreme modifications. A clean, documented Outlander MAX 1000R sells faster and for more money when it is time to upgrade.
Riding Responsibly
Always wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots and protective clothing. Never carry a passenger on a single rider ATV, and follow the manufacturer’s age recommendations. The ATV Safety Institute offers hands on training for new and experienced riders. Stay on designated trails and follow the principles promoted by Tread Lightly so riding areas stay open. Manufacturer specifications and safety information are available on the official Can-Am website.
Storage Between Rides
Wash off mud and debris, let the machine dry, top up fuel with stabilizer for longer breaks and connect a battery tender. Store it on level ground with the parking brake set and the key removed.
Buying and Delivery Information
Ordering Online
When you order online, confirm the exact year, model, trim and VIN, and ask for the full out the door price in writing, including freight, setup and documentation. Our team answers questions about the Outlander MAX 1000R by phone or email before you commit, so you know exactly what you are getting.
Shipping and Delivery
Machines usually ship crated or on a pallet by freight carrier. Plan a level spot for unloading, inspect the crate and the machine before signing the delivery receipt, and note any damage with photos. Some assembly may be needed, such as installing the battery, mirrors or racks, so keep basic tools handy on delivery day.
Getting to Know the Controls
Before the first real ride, spend time in an open area learning the gear selector, 2WD and 4WD switch, differential lock, thumb throttle and brakes. Practice starting, stopping, turning and backing up at low speed until everything feels natural. Read the owner’s manual cover to cover, including the safety labels.
Choosing Riding Gear
A properly fitted helmet, goggles or glasses, gloves, over the ankle boots, long sleeves and long pants are the minimum for every ride. In cold weather add insulated layers and wind protection, and consider hand guards and heated grips. Good gear makes every ride safer and more comfortable.
Planning Your First Rides
Start on familiar, easy terrain and short rides while you learn how the Outlander MAX 1000R handles. Ride with a partner, tell someone your route, carry water, a basic tool kit, a tire repair kit and a first aid kit, and turn back early if the weather changes. Build up to steeper hills, deeper mud and longer days as your confidence grows.
Seasonal Care
- Spring: inspect tires, brakes, battery and fluids after storage
- Summer: clean the air filter and radiator often in dust and heat
- Fall: prepare lights, winch and storage for hunting season
- Winter: use cold weather oil, keep the battery charged and check coolant protection
Keeping Records
Log the date, hours and work done at every service. Records help you stay on schedule, support warranty claims and make the machine easier to sell later.
