The Can-Am Maverick R: Racing DNA On Full Display

Turbocharged Insanity That Changes Everything

This absolute beefcake of an engine cranks out power that completely redefines what you might think is possible in a sport UTV. The Maverick R doesn't just “go fast”; it accelerates like a rocket and handles cleanly even at high speeds. Desert racers lose their stuff over power delivery like this, that can maintain super high acceleration even at high speeds, while trail riders discover that technical climbs and challenging obstacles become way more manageable when you've got this much grunt on tap.

Crater? What Crater? Maverick R Suspension

The Maverick R is kitted out to the 9s with race-ready suspension tech that gives you the travel and tuning you need to take seriously hard hits at seriously high speeds, all while staying completely in control and preparing for your next move. In other words, when millimeters and milliseconds genuinely matter, you need highly responsive and rugged suspension that keeps those tires planted and riders in full control. 

By the way, this goes for rock crawlers, too, who are routinely blown away by just how well-done the wheel travel and articulation are with the Maverick R’s suspension setup. Even as you’re shredding through the most punishing and technical sections, your tires will feel glued to the ground. And if your idea of a good time is flitting across a dune at high speeds, you’ll also want this suspension because it can make the difference between taking the line you want and having to slow down and tiptoe around it (boo!). 

Aggressive Tuning That Rewards Skill

Talented drivers know how frustrating it feels to be slowed down by the very vehicle you thought would finally be your match. It might be a bold claim, but it’s not unfounded: we think the Maverick R may just be the vehicle you’ve been looking for. Why? Because of its industry-leading chassis tuning and handling characteristics; it wants you to drive aggressively. Every risk you take is rewarded, while still maintaining your safety. Steering gives you clear and highly responsive input, and that suspension is keeping you in control without you even thinking.

Can-Am Maverick R FAQs

Is the Maverick R overkill for typical trail riding, or does the performance actually matter?

The Maverick R is definitely built for more hardcore performance situations, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy it on the trail. In fact, some people feel better that they have the power and performance on hand if they need to get out of a dangerous situation. 

Is maintenance a pain on the turbo?

You simply have to learn what that turbo engine needs and prepare ahead of time. Yes, she will need a bit more attention, but once you get into the routine of staying on top of your fluids, etc., it’s not a pain to manage (and it will give you the experience of a lifetime).

Can a newbie UTV rider handle the Maverick R?

There’s no law against it, but beginner riders would probably be more suited for less powerful machines to start out with.
