2026 Can-Am Outlander XT 700 - New - Available in Saint-John

Here’s a breakdown of the 2026 Can‑Am Outlander XT 700 — what it is, what it offers, and what to expect:

What It Is

• A utility / trail ATV with extras — the XT trim adds more rugged & useful features over base versions.

• Powered by a Rotax® ACE 650cc single‑cylinder engine, liquid cooled, making about 50 hp / 41 lb‑ft torque. Offers selectable 2WD/4WD and a locking front differential (Visco‑Lok QE), plus “Work / Standard / Sport” drive modes.

Features & Specs

• Tires: 26‑inch XPS Trail Force front & rear on 14‑inch aluminum wheels. Good mix of trail grip + durability. 

• Suspension: Double A‑arms front & rear; about 9.75 in front travel, 10.25 in rear. 

• Ground clearance: ≈ 12.5 in (31.8 cm).

• Towing capacity: ~ 1,830 lb (≈ 830 kg) towing. 

• Protection & utility: comes with full skid plate, front & rear bumpers, and a strong winch (≈ 3,500 lb) in many XT builds. 

Pros & Considerations

Pros:

• Very capable for mixed use — trail riding + light hauling + hunting + work.

• Good balance of power, clearance, and features — more premium than basic ATVs without jumping to “monster beast” 850+ models.

• The XT trim gives you built‑in value (winch, protection, better wheels/tires, etc.).

Considerations:

• Heavy & relatively large; not as nimble in super tight woods or super technical terrain.

• Fuel consumption will be more than smaller, simpler ATVs.

• Maintenance: more features = more parts that can need care (winch, diff, etc.).
