2010 Can-Am Renegade 800R Xxc Ride Review

[lamborghini478]

are they like the polaris scrambler 500

[atvpt]

@lamborghini478 Sorry, but no comparison. The Renegade has much more power and handles way better then the Scrambler. In fact the 500 Renegade will out run a 500 Scrambler.

[sleepybone321]

im new...is this 2 stoke or 4 stroke?

[atvpt]

@sleepybone321

4 Stroke.

[bballplaya123678]

@atvpt i was wondering why you took off the beadlocks that came with it? with that much power you dont want to have the tires come off the rim in a pinch situation also is thre 2012 renegade 800 x xc going to be slower than the 2011 800x xc because it i heavier but doesnt have any more power.

[atvpt]

@bballplaya123678

I do product reviews on tires & wheels. This allows me to try different wheel tire combo's on the atv's I am reviewing to see how well they perform. Some of the DWT wheels I run are beadlocks.

I will let you know if there is a difference in the speeds between the 2 Renegades if I get a chance to run the 2012 Model, but most likely I will be running the 1000Xxc Renegade.

[bballplaya123678]

@atvpt Well that makes sense i would try different things too! and now knowing that how do you like the grim reapers? What would your #1 all terrain tire be for the renegade 800x xc that wouldn't be too heavy. I ride the hatfield mccoy trails so theres some of everything but would mostly be rocks and hill climbs and lose terrain but want to have a sturdy tire but not too heavy thanks!

[atvpt]

@bballplaya123678

GBC Grim Reapers, or the Pit Bull Growlers are my favorite tires for the Renegade. The Pit Bull Growlers work excellent on wet & rocky terrain.

[infiniteloop99]

Should I get this or the raptor 700 for sand dunes ?

[atvpt]

@infiniteloop99 I like both, and have both the Raptor and the Reni. Some prefer the Raptor and some the Reni. It comes down to personal likes when you choose a machine for riding, and the dunes are a specialty riding area. Are you going to just ride the dunes or do trail too?

[infiniteloop99]

@atvpt I think mostly dunes but will ride rocky and dirt trails too

[atvpt]

@infiniteloop99 My choice would be the Can-Am renegade X, or the Cam Outlander XC, but you should try and ride both before you make your decision. You may ride the raptor and think it is the cat's meow, and maybe you will feel the same about the Can-Am.

The big thing is most dealers will let you test drive their machines if they know you are serious about making a purchase decision.

[joe23ba]

@infiniteloop99 this so if u ever get curios AND GO MUDDING OR 4X4INGI GOT THE BEST TO DO er wiithhhh man

[joe23da]

hows the suspension compare to a 850xp is it soft on the outy xxc hows it handle on pavement i want soft sporty fast and easy is the xxc all that

[HTHS10]

@atvpt Yea i just realized how much other videos you have. Keep it up there really good. I think instead of buying the Outlander though I'm going to look into the Commander 1000 X. It's a little more but I already have an amazing four wheeler.

[atvpt]

@HTHS10

Definitely my choice for the Commander would be the X Model. It is by far the best handling of the group, plus it has some really cool options.

[HTHS10]

@atvpt Are you going to post a video on the Outlander when you get it. I would like to see it in action. I'm planning on getting one soon.

[atvpt]

@HTHS10

I have the Outlander 800 Xxc right now, but we are presently doing a small build project on it. When we get the project done we will shoot a video of it in action, and I think you guys will enjoy what we are doing to it :)

[HTHS10]

@atvpt Yea the Outlander was my second choice I just thought the renegade would better fit me since I don't do a lot of deep mudding. Plus the renegade looks sharp.

[atvpt]

@HTHS10

I agree, the Reni is one sharp looking ATV, and one of my favorites too.

[HTHS10]

Good video. I own one of these as well just purchased mine a week ago and I'm loving it. I have the 2011 model though no big difference. I am also glad I paid the extra cash for the XXC model. How do you like it?

[atvpt]

@HTHS10

I loved mine. I have had a few Renegades since they came out. The Xxc being the best of the best. You can't beat the suspension set up on it. I know you will love riding this machine.

I am on to reviewing the 2011 Can-Am Outlander 800 Xxc now. I am currently doing a light project build on it.

[JWhirl06]

Michigan?

[atvpt]

@JWhirl06

Out of Rapid River Michigan.

[fukmerunin11]

howd the grim reapers perform???

[atvpt]

@fukmerunin11

They perform awesome. They ride great, work well in any terrain, and they wear like iron. I have a couple of sets that I have been running on and off for a couple of years with absolutely no issues. They work excellent in snow. I would say give them a try, you will like them.

[fukmerunin11]

@atvpt awesome....i just got a sportsman 850xp last weekend and im wanting to go with a 26" tire...i was stuck between bighorn 2.0s or grim reapers. it sounds like the reapers are the way to go. a buddy of mine has them on a polaris ranger and they do great.

[atvpt]

@fukmerunin11 You are going to like that new Polaris. One of our atvpt.com group just got one this year and he loves it.

[fukmerunin11]

@atvpt yeah i really like it so far. i got the EPS model and the power steering is soooo nice.

[BLEEDTHOUBLOOD]

Love this quad but it's a little on the pricy side. Almost 15,000 for this model. Maybe one day I'll give up my raptor 700 for this but great review anyways

[atvpt]

@BLEEDTHOUBLOOD

I am glad you enjoyed it. I am returning it this week and picking up the Outlander 800 Xxc for long term review.

[MsWill0000]

is this all stock ?

[atvpt]

@MsWill0000

At that time it was pretty much stock, except for the different wheels & tires.

[MsWill0000]

@atvpt oh i am looking to get one and your video helped me out a lot

[atvpt]

@MsWill0000

It is one of my most favorite atv's from Can-Am. I am sure you will love it. I have the review in our web site & forum too, if you would like to check it out.

atvpt & atvptforum

[MsWill0000]

@atvpt ok

i'll check it out

[atvpt]

@MsWill0000

Thanks

[skylinebrett]

hey i know were that is my step sister lives there

[darkligtning2000]

is this in ontario ofsc???

[atvpt]

@darkligtning2000

This in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. 

[darkligtning2000]

@atvpt oh ok thanks i was just wondering

[atvpt]

@darkligtning2000

We do film Quad Trails TV out of Wawa & Elk lake Ontario sometimes.

[bballplaya123678]

how do you like the qe visco lok? do you think it would work well in slow rocks where one front wheel might be in the air?

[atvpt]

@bballplaya123678

The 2010 model has a quicker engagement and seems to work excellent in climbing over rocks. keep in mind when you have the power steering set at max, rock climbing seems effortless anyway.

[robscherer123]

Sweet quad, trials look awesome. Looks like one fun time. Nice video.

[nickanto]

How many miles total did you ride that day? How many miles to you think you could get off a tank of gas riding like you did in this video? Thanks

[atvpt]

@nickanto

I can squeeze 100 miles per tank with the smaller tank.

[nickanto]

Great video....great. This is the type of riding I'm going to be doin so I was excited to watch it. If you don't mind me askin, how much did you get your gade for?

[atvpt]

I review these machines.

[tris1str]

i got one in 1 month :P

[slothmizzy]

atvpt  You are my Hero!

[dgl1962]

What an excellent trail!

I've got a 2008 800 outlander,I live near the FL everglades but the riding is rough,deep mud.

I wish I could cruise across the state like you do.

[F4ceYourFe4rs]

really nice quad, to bad id probably be having so much fun id kill myself on it :-P

[Curto1414]

Nothing better than can-am!

[edgehillhogs]

nothin beats the can am!..nice bike....enjoy!

[mikejohnson73]

Can Am power!!!! The Soggy Bottom Boyz of MS

[MsWill0000]

@mikejohnson73 they are the best

[kdog2804]

nice

[kdog2804]

what do u think is better that or a sport quad

[atvpt]

I like both.

I ride a Yamaha Raptor 700 modded, and also the Can-Am Renegade.

I enjoy both equally.

[toddpossum]

how much does it cost? and does it handle better than a sportsman 800?

[atvpt]

This one is almost $12000, and if you rode one you would agree it handles great.

[NativeBlood41]

how are the lights

[atvpt]

They work fine.

[cutlass7]

What kind of GPS mount is that??

[atvpt]

Ram mount.

Review is on our web site.

[NativeBlood41]

how fast does it go

[atvpt]

78.4 mph today on the gps.

[slothmizzy]

I have a 2008 and the stock tires are horrible in mud even with low tire pressure.How are the Grim Reapers and what size are those on that 2010?

[atvpt]

The GBC Grim Reapers are 25", 8ply, and they work excellent.

[bballplaya123678]

How do you like the power steering?

[atvpt]

Works excellent.
