Default Outlander L shock upgrade

Just wondering if anyone know if shocks from a 2011 renegade will fit on my 2016 outlander L 570?

Hello from Colorado and welcome to the ATV Connection. I have a Can Am Outlander Max, but I'm new enough to the hobby that I can't answer your questions. But I thought I would say hello to another Can Am owners. Our Outlander 570 is a very nice machine.

I might ask why you posed the question. Can Ams are known to be decent handling and riding machines. Suspension tuning is quite a science. Picking the right shocks for the right weight and power machine, for the right type of trail riding. The steep, rocky trails here in Colorado are different than abandoned railroad trails. Both might need special shock settings. Changing shocks may result in a machine that rides like an ox cart, or one that bottoms out over every bump.

The Renegade is a sporty ATV that might be heavier than your 570 depending if it is a big bore or not. The chassis of the Renegade and the Outlander are very similar, but both models were significantly updated in what, 2014 or so.

I'm responding in hopes that someone out there may have the answer to your question.

Short answer, most likely no. Polaris Scrambler and Sportsman newer models are a lot more similar than the Can Am Outlander and Renegade models are. To be honest, I've never found any independent suspension atv that didn't ride at least pretty well. I guess I don't expect an atv to ride like a 1970's Cadillac. I'm sure there are some aftermarket shocks you can buy for the Outlander L models but they were specifically designed to work for that model.
