At the heart of the 2014 Can-Am Outlander L DPS 500 atv motorcycle, Can-Am relies on a 499.6 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 82.0 x 47.0 mm (3.2 x 1.9 inches).
On the scales, the Outlander L DPS 500 measures 318.9 kg (703 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.
