CVT is especially beneficial for off-road conditions, providing optimal engine power regardless of the terrain.

  • Ease of Use: No need to manually shift gears, making it easier for beginners.
  • Smooth Ride: CVT ensures a smoother transition between gears.
  • Optimal Power: Automatic transmissions can adapt to various riding conditions, providing optimal power.

Manual Options

While the focus has been on automatic transmissions, it’s worth noting that some older models or specialized versions may offer manual transmission options.

However, these are increasingly rare and are generally not the standard for the Can-Am Outlander series.
