Hello all.
So I was out on my 2016 Outlander L 570 for the second big ride. I got it stuck in the first ride in some really deep snow, and all 4 wheels spun.
Today I got crossed up in some ruts, and the front right wheel was about 8" off the ground, and almost without hesitation, the front left was tearing a hole in the dirt. Perfect! I like the fact it’s always there and ready when the hole or ruts are deeper than expected. About half an hour later, I was climbing a sand hill with a right hand turn at the top and the bottom, and it was steeper than expected, nail the throttle and at both obstacles, front end locked fast and away we went. I can say with my Grizzly, it would have been a back out into the deep water, lock the front (which wasn’t always instant), and fight with the locked front end and then unlock at the top. Not the end of the world, but damn I like this Can-Am way better.

A note on handling, the back end sure steps out smoothly and consistently all the time. The engine is awesome as well, smooth and sounds awesome. So happy I ditched the Yamahaha.
