2023 Can-Am Outlander XT 700 In-Depth Review -The Best New Mid-CC ATV? 

finally a review from someone who has actually ridden one.

Thanks for the video. Decided to pull the trigger on two of the XT 700's and two DS250's for the kids. Hopefully the redesign proves to be reliable. Picked these over Polaris for the new features/design plus the winch and bumper already included in the price. Seemed like a better value, plus we like the look more than the Polaris. Pick them up on Aug 2nd.

Looking forward to a comparison video of this one, the Grizzly 700 & Kingquad 750.

Another awesome trailride Steve! Thanks man I just literally bought a 23 outlander xt850 yesterday! I hope to see you on another trail ride soon! Good stuff man thanks.

Great quad and even a better video right on thank you so much for the awesome video best one on the internet cant wait for the pro work horse video to be added thanks alot you should get alot of views for this video thank you so much

Thanks for the video!! Picking up a 700 max xt tomorrow Can’t wait to ride it!!!

thanks for making a video of this machine, and actually riding it. Lots of stuff out there but most of us wanna see it rip!

Excellent review. This is how a review should be done. I can’t stand when people do a review on something with the camera pointed at them the whole time.

Nice review keep up the good work

Happy FRIDAY EVERYONE ✌️ HOPE YOUR DAY IS A BEAUTIFUL ONE ... GRABBIN THE CANNABIS..🙏🙏 THANKFUL FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT 🙏🙏

Looks like a great machine! Love all the storage and suspension. How is the vibration on this big single? Can you feel it thru the bars and feet? Did you ride the 500 yet if you did how does it compare to the 700 does the 500 feel under powered?

Surprised you beat DirtTrax to the punch! Great review and videography!

Is the seat more comfortable then the previous models? My xmr1000 has absolutely no padding and on long rides it gets to you after a while of riding. Wondered if it had more passing then the older models?

The small bore segment is Heating up for sure !

Hopefully they addressed some on the problems of the older models. Did they improve the brakes, cvt issues like the clunk, diff failures, drive shaft connections ? Is it available in another color other than yellow? It is an interesting atv and it’s features are appealing. The engine position in the frame looks like it would be much easier to service, valve adjustments and spark plug changes.

Already been a Honda guy but I just picked up am hd7 dps. I'm loving it so far, it rides very nice and it much faster than my old Honda 400. I just hope it holds up as well as my old Honda.

I prefer my King Quad 750. It’s like a grizzly it’s proven reliability. I just wish Yamaha and Suzuki would bring out a similar edition to the XMR

I’ve owned a lot of different atvs and currently have a 2022 Suzuki KQ 750 PS that I traded a sportsman 1000 on. I just left my local can am dealer talking to the owner and they were getting new 700s in while I was there and had this unit here there . I was impressed with their fit and finish build quality . Stepped it up near Japanese fit and finish under the skin. And comes with a 3500lb winch , 26” can am xps tires that look good , front bumper . My KQ was 1K$ higher and came with none of that

What helmet setup do you have?

Great review! One of the best. You covered some great points on this atv. My only 1 question I have is after riding it for a while how was the heat around your legs?

How’s the engine braking?

That heat on your legs - i love for -5 C riding. You are toasty warm the whole time.

nice review. Has the drivetrain changed at all? Does it still have the infamous "Can-Am Clunk" upon acceleration and accel/decel on the trails (or in this case, the track)?

From the specs, seems like it is too heavy of a machine compared to others. 858 lbs dry?

The storage is awesome & phone holder

We need to see a comparison between the Can Am outlander 700 vs the Arctic Cat Alterra 600

I'm trying to figure out How is this engine better when the old 650 Put out over 60 horsepower and was a v twin ?

How about you do something on the cfmoto 1000 overlander

I’m curious about the Visco lok. When trail riding can it be left in 4WD without harming anything? As opposed to having to stop and engage when really needed?

Hey Mike could you see yourself going around your track more comfortable on the grizzly or floating with the Outlander?

front box feels like it would break later on. polaris and yamahas boxes break or Crack. If I'm wrong I do think the new look will grow

So this 50hp 700cc replaced the 62hp 650cc? Why?

when is the video for the pro coming out? this video was great!!

Really wish you would have taken a bigger look at the more basic 500 models, since those will usually fit what more people want and need.

BRP/Can Am still seems to restrict what they are revealing to us, a little bit more at a time. I'm interested in watching the video on the Pro model, I'm not sure this one is doing it for me.

My can am dealer wanted 9000 for a left over 450,I bought a Honda

Is it normal for this to take a min to engage in 4x4

Awesome review! First good look at this machine. Nice to see how agile this quad is with a big guy on it.

Also whats the price of the xmr version?

Well, with loosing the v twin and the trailing arm suspension, I’d rather go with a Yamaha Grizzly that has the superior CVT system I’ll never have to worry about. Plus the Yamaha has arched a arms opposed to the straight of the outlander, and a big plus with the Yamaha, and other brands, is front diff lock on all models with out having to get a specific model. I’m not saying the new outlanders are going to be bad machines but I think they are taking a step backwards in not only design but technology.

My question is how this models exhaust system handle the heat? I guess BRP/Can am should do a better job than Chinas Segway Snarler 570 that came out in 2021 whit the engine flipped around, their exhaust melts and snaps in half due to heat, bad design and a cheap metal combo.( Yeah I know China, but so is CF Moto that some love so much. ) A all new design also means new problems, always, lets see if they live up to their words of less maintenance. Personally I would not even think about buying one until tested against a Grizzly/Kodiak 700 and also how "long-term" ownership looks like, in my opinion its a bold move by Can am to throw away the lower cc V-twin and smaller 450 a lot of people have come to like over the years, will be interesting to see non the less.

Great video! I wonder how the acceleration compares to the Outlander 570? The 700 is rated with 2 more horsepower but is heavier by about 100 lbs. And I wonder why it is so much heavier? Thanks

So far the 2023 Can Am Outlander 850 still has my vote from Can Am. I know they aren't the same kind of machine, or in the same class. I just like the 850 compared to this one, at the moment. Maybe it's the sound of the V-Twin machine, or maybe it's that yellow on this one. I like the Blue XT model 850 for 2023 for the time being.

Definitely some improvements across the board but I'd still spend the extra money to get a Grizzly. They also should have taken the opportunity to change the shifter position to the left side so you don't hit the throttle with your forearm anymore which will most likely happen even more now with the seat height increase. It'll be very interesting how much of the market they take away. I've watched several videos now on this new Outlander and not one video has mentioned it going up against the Grizzly. 🤔

It is a heavy machine. The Grizzly beats it when you do the all important HP to weight ratio. If they put the Can Am on a big diet and shed some weight I would consider it.

I feel like this version is a down grade from the old 570/650 v twin. They made it cheaper but it's a really heavy single cylinder. In my eyes the leader in this category to compete against would be Kodiak/Grizzly.

Still waiting on the xmr 700,😢

NO maintenance in the first year? NO "break in oil change"? Hmmm, something tells me that just doesn't seem kosher!

What about the "competitors"? Where is the CFMOTO price? ;-) I enjoy my motos!

Wow....was almost alil impressed until I see 858lbs... dry weight. That's crazy heavy for the claimed power. Stick with the grizzly for this category

How much

Can you test out the 2023 Arctic Cat Alterra 600 line up.

Funny a 700 is a "mid cc machine now" that's a big bore in my eyes, or at least my brute 750 is.....which will smoke this yellow bee haha I guess it is actually a 650cc engine tho but still, that's basically Honda's biggest motor!

I would just spend an extra grand and grab a BF750. Worth it for the extra power alone.

Nothing there that would sway me from a Grizzly.

that first year maintenance thing is bull, do a break in oil change at minimum, i'd be doing the diff oil too for the $8 it costs. and that new seat height is a tower - that alone might be a reason to skip this, who is the next closest? Kingquad I think? I think if I were to buy a new bike today I'd be heading down to Yamaha for a Grizz 700, yea it costs more than a comparable CanAM, but it's basically a high power Honda. I hope this new CanAm thumper and new trans are bullet proof. They should have moved the shifter to the left side, and put a mud guard on the shift gate. but down to business, where my v-twin cry babies at?? lol i saw another ATV youtube channel bitching about the single cylinder, they had no idea there are a handful of other GREAT single cylinder bikes on the market. they thought this was all new territory... they also had zero experience with this engine, so basically they are a keyboard warrior YT channel

just dont stop making parts for my 22

Cost of production is why they went with a single cylinder,

oh yeah its a 650 called 700 and 500 makes sense 😆🙄

Who makes the new engine

I hate how they call it a 700 but the displacement is 650

Robots haven't taken over manufacturing - yet. It,s still less expansive to assemble in Mexico than Austria. They could have reduced parts count further with less camshaft , but this sounds like the old BRP/BMW 650.

Old 650 hp 62hp New 650hp 40hp-50hp Old 650 weight 726 pounds New 650 weight 858 pounds Less horsepower and more weight? Looks like it'll be a lot cheaper in price? Hmm, is that the loss in performance worth it?

this thing is way too heavy. a non dps 2023 yamaha kodiak 700 is 659 pounds wet weight ready to ride.

So heavy though..almost 900 pounds.. Yikes it's only a 650

I wonder what age demographic is still buying atvs in a world where sxs seem to be taking over I may be wrong. Seems like atv riders are more of the much younger group.

Gear links looks like a toy !

since when is a 700cc machine considered mid size? thats a big bore boys. mid size is 350cc-500cc. anything larger than thats a big boy toy weather people like to admit it or not. especially since its a 700 single. i also noticed can am ditched the trailing arm rear suspension for dual a arm alot of can am loyal guys are not gonna like that.

100 lbs. heavier than the Grizzly.

I'll stick with my grizzly. 50hp also and will last. Can am are always in the shop or being towed off the trail.

Looks like a knock off brand. Ug-lee.

Can am is crap.
