BRP designed this desert sxs for that use: fast open space baja style conditions. The suspension design works wonder in those conditions and even in KOH. Innovations sometimes looks weird ( front a arm) but people that rode this sxs say it handles like a dream and that suspension makes a huge difference in stability and roll in corners. The engine is very strong and resistant. Guys try to test the smartshox option you will be be blown away.

😮😮 And I thought I wanted the previous Maverick bad 😍😍 I don't know who said money can't buy happiness but I could see a whole alot of smiles with one if them. One day. 🙏

[Cobruhh]

Can-Am stated during the live reveal that 35” tires will fit.

[Outdoors-and-Sports]

240 hp. Dang. I don’t think we will have to wait long for a 500 hp side by side.
ONE DAY. Things are getting kinda cray cray.

[RARufus]

Killing it with the content as always guys! Cheers to our boys in Ontario from Minnesota.

FYI, the engine in the Maverick R IS NOT the same as the one in all the other models. It is not a bored out 900 ACE. Completely new from the ground up specifically for this vehicle! Thought you should know!

[mattatk]

These are basically just trophy trucks now

[canamdennis]

Did you here that most powerful sxs ever built you gotta love Can am

[jc]

honda has had a single 700 in it sxs for years. it's a good size engine for everything. that new maverick looks like a beast, no belts nice

[gymbo]

When I a teenager my dad bought a 1985 corvette with a 5.7 litre which produced 230 Hp.. 240 Hp in a dune buggy make sure you have your helmet on .

When will they add live-valve shocks to a GNCC race atv? The door is wide open for them to be the first to do so.

[jackhammer]

78 inches wide renders it useless to all but the desert riders...price is also insane.

[Allinoffroad]

I love the back and forth between the 2 big companies!!!! I’m bias because I’m a Polaris guy so like the pro r better but wish both of them would make there top tier in a more narrow machine that will fit in New England

[dannydeshler]

The unit looks great. I am concerned about that front suspension in the East getting packed full of mud, hit by a big rock following behind someone or whacking the errant tree limb you didn't see. There doesn't appear to be any way to guard that system. I'm also a bit nervous about a 999cc engine that is set to full blast, that thing will get hot in the South, throw in a muddy front radiator (I know it has two) and some slow trail riding in rocks...sounds like a possible huge trainwreck. It just seems sketchy. I think I would stick with a Pro R...both are great machines, one just seems to be better suited for Eastern US trails and bigger tires. (At 72' wide...haha) These manufacturers REALLY need to make a narrower machine that has all of these beefed up suspension parts and a 150+HP NA motor with a beefy transmission...Not everyone rides in the desert.

[SG-Cichlids]

Maybe they did the front suspension like that to limit your tire size to help out the transmission

[BimmerWon]

If I was a desert dweller I’d definitely get one of these but unfortunately there are no places around here where I can ride these things.

[Islandboy]

Canam please make a Defender that’s trail ready. Upgraded suspension and more power!

[Ted_Stryker]

To me, it seems like a risky move to stress out a 1L engine like that. Especially considering that Polaris could probably bump the hp on that 2L up to more than 240 with just an updated tune. Also, not too sure about those crazy suspension knuckles. Seems like an expensive fix waiting to happen right there. Limited tire upgrades looks to be a thing as well, as you've stated. Lastly, lack of engine/chassis options is a - in my book.
Anyway, thanks for the great coverage as always. Cheers.

When Yamaha released the Dual Clutch in the YXZ, I knew that was probably going to be the way forward. Just seems like such an obvious choice to go with, especially when compared to a belt. As far as the engine goes, I do wonder why they didn't bump the displacement up? ECU's are so sophisticated these days it's not a huge concern, I'd just be more interested in why they stuck with only 1, 000cc.
