Positioned in Can-Am's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2014 Can-Am Renegade 500 pairs a 499.6 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. 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 Renegade 500 measures 279 kg (615 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 876 mm (34.5 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.
