  • Great ATV
    By Vikki (I am an Owner) on Jul 23, 2014

    I have a 2008 400 Can AM I'm a small female and this Can AM rides and handles great we do some extreme riding this thing handles real well for me goes up and over rocks,trees and what ever else it needs to without to much trouble goes through the mud and deep water fine.

    I have no problem going ...

    Its a great first ATV to hone your skills on or just to take a nice leisurely ride because of how comfortable this machine ride.

    All the guys that have bigger ones that have tried mine out are very surprised at how well it rides and handles.

    I have a box on the back so I can take my Shar Pei riding with us.

    You can see my friends also ride Can AM's their two ups hub rides both are 500 hub rides a Cat 700.

    I plan on getting another Can Am one thats bigger just hope the newer ones are made as well as my 2008 outlander.

It didn't mind some easy going trail riding with utility quads which was nice, and when I wanted to go the thing is like ...
