The Can-Am Outlander 450 is a popular choice among ATV enthusiasts for its balance of power and agility.
But one question that often comes up is, “How fast can it go?”
The Can-Am Outlander 450 model has not really changed top speed wise over the years, at least from 2015 to 2022.
How fast can a Can-Am Outlander 450 go?
The Can-Am Outlander 450 has a top speed of between 60mph and 70mph.
Typically the low to mid 60s in most scenarios, and mid 60s to around 70 in perfectly ideal ground conditions, and wheel size.
2015 Can-Am Outlander 450 L Model Top Speed Demonstration
A YouTube video demonstration of a 2015 Can-Am Outlander 450 L showed the ATV reaching a top speed of 61 mph.
2022 Can-Am Outlander 450 Model Top Speed Demonstration
In contrast, a top speed test of the 2022 Can-Am Outlander 450 on YouTube showed it reaching 64 mph.
But on flat pavement, so basically around the same general top speed.
Factors Affecting Speed
Terrain
The top speed can vary depending on the terrain. Both tests mentioned above were conducted on flat, straight roads, but the speed could be different on uphill or rough terrains.
Speed Governors
Some models may come with speed governors that limit the top speed for safety reasons. It’s essential to be aware of this feature if you’re looking to push your ATV to its limits.
Legal Implications
It’s important to note that conducting top speed tests on public roads is illegal in Canada, as ATVs are not street-legal.
Always ensure you are in a controlled environment when attempting such tests.
In Summary
- The Can-Am Outlander 450 has a consistent top speed range from 2015 to 2022, generally between 60 and 70 mph.
- Terrain and speed governors can influence the top speed.
- Video demonstrations support these speed ranges.
- It’s illegal to conduct top speed tests on public roads in Canada.
