What Is The Fuel Economy Of Outlander Can Am Models?

Question

Yara · Answer

I keep things simple when people ask me about Outlander fuel economy: there isn't one magic MPG figure. From my experience and from talking to other riders, the smaller Outlanders (450/570) tend to be more efficient — think mid-20s mpg in mixed use — while the larger machines (850/1000) can be in the low teens if you're riding hard. Those are US miles per gallon; if you prefer metric, that means roughly 8–12 L/100km for the smaller models and closer to 15–24 L/100km for the big ones.

A few practical notes I always share: keep your tires at proper pressure, use the right gear ratio for your load, and make sure the air filter and spark plugs are clean — small maintenance wins can add several mpg. Riding technique matters: steady throttle and avoiding prolonged lugging at low RPM help a lot. For planning trips, assume a conservative value (lower mpg) so you don’t end up hunting for gas in the middle of nowhere. I like comparing notes with friends after long rides — it’s a great way to refine expectations.

Let me walk you through a quick calculation I use to estimate real-world range and fuel consumption so it's not just numbers thrown at you. First, pick a conservative MPG for the model you’re interested in: for example, assume a midweight Outlander averages 18 mpg (US). If that model has a 5.2 US gallon tank, multiply 18 mpg by 5.2 gallons and you get about 93.6 miles of range under those conditions.

To convert to metric, use L/100km = 235.214 / mpg. So 18 mpg equals about 13.07 L/100km. For a larger Outlander averaging 12 mpg with a 6-gallon tank, range is roughly 72 miles and that mpg converts to about 19.6 L/100km. Those formulas let you plug in whatever riding style or tank size you actually have. I find doing the math ahead of a ride takes the guesswork out and keeps me relaxed on longer runs.

Numbers vary, but here’s the gist I tell riders: a 450–570 Outlander often gets around 20–35 mpg (US), while the 850/1000 machines typically sit around 10–18 mpg depending on discipline. Terrain, aggressive throttle, and hauling gear will drop those figures fast. Fuel tank sizes around 5–6 gallons mean you can get anywhere from roughly 60 to 150 miles per tank depending on model and riding style. I usually budget for the low end of the range on mixed-terrain trips and it saves a lot of stress later on.

Fuel economy for Outlander Can-Am models depends on which motor you’re talking about and how gnarly your routes are. From casual trail cruising to aggressive hill-climbing, I’ve seen 450/570 models hit mid-20s mpg sometimes, while the heavyweight 1000s can dip into the low teens. In practical terms that means on a typical fuel tank you might get anywhere from 60 to 150 miles.

One thing I try to remind friends: modifications (like bigger tires, snorkels, or a performance exhaust) usually lower economy, while lightening the load and smoother throttle work raises it. If you care about the planet or just hate refueling stops, consider riding etiquette and maintenance first — they do more than you'd think. Personally, I plan trips assuming lower MPG and then enjoy the bonus when the machine surprises me with better economy.

I've kept a little running log of fuel stops on various Outlander Can-Am models and the numbers are all over the place — mostly because how and where you ride matters more than the badge on the side.

For smaller-engined Outlanders like the 450/570, I've seen averages from roughly 20 to 35 mpg (US), which is about 7–12 L/100km. Mid-range machines such as the 650 series tend to sit around 15–24 mpg. The big V-twins — the 850 and the 1000 — usually fall in the 10–18 mpg ballpark depending on whether you’re ripping trails or cruising backroads; that translates to roughly 13–24 L/100km. Tank sizes vary too (many models pack somewhere between ~4.5 and 6 US gallons), so real-world range per tank often ends up between 60 and 180 miles.

If you want a single takeaway: expect a wide range. Light trail work and gentle throttle will push you toward the high end, while towing, aggressive riding, or heavy loads will cut economy dramatically. Personally, I plan fuel stops like little checkpoints on long rides — it keeps the day relaxed and the bike running happy.
