Engineered by Can-Am for the atv motorcycle segment, the 2014 Can-Am Outlander L DPS 450 relies on a 427 cc (26.1 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 94.0 x 61.5 mm (3.7 x 2.4 inches).
On the scales, the Outlander L DPS 450 measures 307.5 kg (678 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 859 mm (33.8 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,295 mm (51 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 20.44-liter (5.4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
