The all-new Can-Am Maverick X3 tears up the side-by-side vehicle rulebook with a single promise: to push expectations of what a sport side-by-side vehicle can do. From its unmistakable, future-forward exterior design to its Ergo-Lok cockpit that puts the driver at the heart of the vehicle, it’s time to tackle the terrain.
Going faster than ever, anywhere, means putting the driver first and the stance second, so this beast’s cockpit wraps around its occupants. Low-slung seats boost confidence and lower the center of gravity—while still boasting up to 24 in. of suspension travel and up to 15 in. of ground clearance to dominate obstacles and rivals alike.
Can-Am started from the best seating position and built the X3 around it. With so much power, Can-Am had to revolutionize everything: how you’ll steer, how its suspension reacts—even adding a generous rearview mirror. The X3 will be able to handle tough whoops with FOX 3.0 Podium RC2 HPG shocks, and its 24 in. of travel.
Can-Am’s speed and precision-obsessed engineers and racers had an idea: to punch out the wheels just a bit more—and the performance improvement was so staggering Can-Am ended up creating the world’s first factory 72 in. wide side-by-side vehicle, specifically for dunes and wide-open desert riding.
The Maverick X3 is powered by a 154 hp turbocharged and intercooler Rotax ACE engine.
Pricing starts at $22,999.
