Occasionally a model comes along that blurs the lines of classification in the ATV industry. Can-Am’s Renegade 500 is one such model. With a sporty fuel injected 499.6cc high output V-twin engine mated to a 4 x 4 drive train, the Renegade combines the concept of performance trail riding with the durability of a utility machine. Like its bigger brother (introduced in 2008), the Renegade 800R, the 500 aims to appeal to a wider audience with a $1700 lower MSRP.
