2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 X RS Turbo RR with Smart-Shox First Look VS Polaris Turbo S Comparison

Can-Am released their 2021 Maverick X3 X RS Turbo RR with Smart Shocks on June 30, 2020. Based on their 72' wide Maverick X3 X RX Turbo RR model, Smart Shocks adds four-wheel independent computer controlled suspension. Setting Can-Am Smart Shock setup apart is its ability to adjust both compression and rebound damping, with the competition featuring computer controlled compression damping only. With its closest competitor the Polaris RZR Turbo S featuring Dynamix Suspension technology, we break down how the horsepower, dimensions, suspension travel and design compare on the two SXS.

I wouldn’t own one for one reason. I’d be scared that somebody would ask what I ride and I’d have to take 20 mins to tell them the name of it.
Great vid and you’re starting to get the “On Demand” voice down perfectly

Good lord these prices are skyrocketing...I thought $16k OTD for my YXZ was a lot.

[joshowens]

Prefer the Fox IQS suspension that you can electronically adjust yourself.

Can am took a step in the right direction with the smart shox to keep up with Polaris. Now they just need something like ride command lol

I bought a 19' Turbo 4S(Dynamix) in Feb, and don't run 4 people, the 4 seat was for a little more wheelbase to add stability to my desert only riding...I did look at the Can-Am at the time but for what I wanted the S4 fit my need...I do think Can-Am makes great UTV's and for styling the C/A looks awesome! The Dynamix works great and I use it all the time. I believe the 2021 model C/A with the Smart Shock system will outdo the RZR because it's an updated system and of course the addition of rebound adjustment....These types of systems are going to keep getting better as technology improves..The 2019 Raptor has it and the new RAM TRX will have something similar but a Bilstein based package... BUT all of us drivers get to enjoy better and better machines!!

Can't believe the comments about comparing this to the Pro XP! The X rs is 72" wide, the Pro XP is 64".. If CanAm put Smart-Shox on the 64" X ds, the Pro XP would be the comparison..

[doc_teamwaxoffroad]

Too many words and letters for me on the Can Am machines... Lol..
And where do these prices stop..?
Great video.. 👍👍👍

[porroco]

Neither of those machines called my wallet. The road has changed for DCT not for more HP and bigger suspension. Bigger suspension only has one market and one country california for their deserts

[dylanaguilar]

I am a little biased for cam am, and I don’t like the ways an rzr looks it looks like it was smooshed then stretched

[barkley]

i ride sand dunes only and like to jump witch one would be the best for the dunes and jumping? thanks !

[mr.kojack]

Uhh..no XP Pro available? That would be Polaris newest machine.

[billhanson]

Why are you not comparing it to the xp pro. Cant compare can ams top model to polaris few steps down from top model

[adampetten]

Just ordered my x3 max, but I didn't get the smart shox.

[sxsmtnrunners]

Love the comment on the Pro XP but as a owner of a 2020 RS1. Neither the Pro XP Ulimate Turbo S or can-am. Can't keep up on the mountain trails I ride on. ( flats yes but not on the curves) Oh and btw I'm a woman driving that RS1..lol. Btw boys the gas pedal is on the right 🤣🤣

[BarattaFamily]

Why are you comparing a 2021 car to a 2019 car? Polaris does have a new car called the Pro...

[FreedomIsntFree]

I was becoming a CanAm X3 fan (just love the look!!!) until I learned about all of the single sheer mounting points for suspension and control points. Look it up for adding about an additional $2k more minimum in parts (and a ton of work) just to get the long term reliability in the same neighborhood of the RZR. That has got me thinking twice about this Canadian CanAm....get it together!!!

[jasonbrown]

One looks like a John Deere, the other doesn't. Done and done.
