Built around Can-Am's atv motorcycle platform, the 2025 Can-Am Outlander 850 relies on a 850 cc (51.9 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 82 HP (59.9 kW) while maximum torque reaches 89.5 Nm (66 lb-ft), transferring power to the rear wheel through a automatic gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 96.5 HP per liter, the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Outlander 850 measures 386 kg (851 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.21 HP/kg (4.71 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 960 mm (37.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,342 mm (52.8 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 19.5-liter (5.2 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
