Hmmm- I'm stressing over which one to buy- I finally sold my rincon and I'm fast track on buying another can-am. Not much to choose from in Mass though. These are all I found- and both said they'd hold'em for me for a couple of days...

A 2008 Rene 800R for $5500 (27" bighorns full skids) or a 2007 Outty 800 for $5k (comes with new 27" itp's on ss rims & plow)

I know the 08 has many upgrades over the 07- but I'm a trail kinda guy so the racks are good to have...

I have till thursday to make up my mind.

 

I would say go with outlander. If you like woods and enjoy screaming down a trail once in a while, I think thats the best choice. I know there are companies that make racks for th erenegade, but they arent nearly the size of th eoutlanders racks. plus, you can save the $500

 

Whithout racks do you put your traveling stuff (drinks,ice, extra gas) in your pockets?

 

I know I know!
I'm leaning towards the outty- but it's hard to give up the upgrades on the 08...!

 

i have been doing a TON of research. theres a couple aftermarket companies make racks for the rene. they appear to be beefier than the stock outlanders racks.

 

We got a decent rack off eBay that will hold a couple 2 gallon cans. When we ride the X2 does most of the hauling and toting. The Renegade will leave you covered with whatever you are riding through because of the sport-like plastics. You can buy fender flares for them too. I got a set that will be my oldest son's main Christmas present.

 

After sleeping on it- I'm pretty sure I'm buying the outty- fits my riding style more then the rene.

 

Might be the way to go, adding racks,mud flares next will be larger 26" tires, you will be turning the Renegade into a Outlander before long. LOL
