The Can-Am Outlander is already a beast on the trails, but with the right upgrades, you can take its performance, comfort, and durability to the next level. Whether you’re tackling mud, rocks, or long off-road adventures, these top 5 upgrades for 2025 will enhance your ride.
1. High-Performance Tires
Stock tires are decent, but upgrading to aggressive off-road tires like the ITP Mud Lite or Maxxis Bighorn will give you better traction in mud, sand, and rocky terrain. If you ride in deep mud, consider paddled tires, while all-terrain options work great for mixed conditions.
2. Suspension & Lift Kits
For smoother rides over rough terrain, a lift kit (1-2 inches) paired with upgraded shocks (like FOX or Elka) improves ground clearance and handling. This is especially useful if you run larger tires or frequently ride over obstacles.
3. LED Lighting System
Visibility is crucial for night rides or early-morning adventures. Upgrading to high-power Can AM Outlander headlights or pods gives you a brighter, wider beam than stock lights. Consider adding hood-mounted lights or a winch-mounted light bar for extra illumination. Some riders even opt for RGB LED accents for style and better side visibility.
4. Winch & Recovery Gear
Getting stuck is part of off-roading, so a strong winch (4,500-5,500 lbs) from brands like Warn or SuperATV is a must. Pair it with snatch blocks, tow straps, and a shovel for a full recovery setup.
5. Exhaust & ECU Tuning
For more power and a deeper growl, an aftermarket exhaust (HMF or MBRP) reduces weight and improves airflow. Combine it with an ECU tuner (like Dynojet PV3) to optimize fuel mapping and unlock extra horsepower.
Final Thoughts
These upgrades will make your Can-Am Outlander even more capable in 2025. Whether you prioritize performance, durability, or style, investing in these mods will enhance your off-road experience. Which upgrade are you adding first?
