Bought 2019 maverick trail couple months ago love this thing so much fun

[@jasonduffy5089]

Nice review. I bought an 800 trail DPS in April. IT's fantastic.

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Nice! I still have yet to get one out on the trail...lol. Hopefully this summer I can!

[@curtisbull1583]

I would definitely like to hear a ride review from you. Hopefully you get a chance soon.

[@theirishaxe9405]

You need to trade in you little 500 for this!

[@mattfarr1323]

Did you realize that the skid plate on these machines is actually arched to aid in the ground clearance?

[@theirishaxe9405]

Boy they sure tuned that motor down. Usually the canam 1k and 800 has way more hp

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

John Smith I thought the same thing. I’m sure it was due to the 50” width and the worry people would roll it. I bet a simple PCM reflash will wake it back up once the aftermarket starts kicking out stuff for it

[@curtisbull1583]

Also bummed about the lack of horsepower for the 1000 model. My renegade 1000 is around 750 lb and made for one person, it comes in 89 horsepower. This Maverick Trail is made for two people weighing in at over 1400 pounds and has only 75 horsepower. And equally disappointed they still have the visco-lok 4front locking differential.

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

I would like to se a true locker in the front as well. But hey, my P5 don’t have any kind of locker in the front...lol. It still goes pretty good without one!

[@Sarge395]

Doesn't Can Am now lower the max revs and output until say 50 miles have passed? Easy enough to do electronically.

[@ghostflier520]

Looks like a 4 wheeler. Ugly as crsp

[@carlguinesso3136]

Please loose the synthetic music, had to stop watching the video

[@MrBerett315]

Bet you're glad that you waited since the sport just came out!

[@1983thunderbird]

Another great review, I really like this new 50" machine!

[@derekgagne9249]

Ride that puupy.love ur vids.how to's save alot of money..thx

[@sideskraft]

Question: the Commander 800R is 9 inches wider than the Maverick Trail 800, yet the MT is heavier than the Commander. Also, the Commander has 20 more HP -- that's a huge difference. I really enjoy your informative videos -- keep up the great work!!

[@haroldhaggman4285]

I can see mud in the cab from the back tires. Same design when rzr first came out. Box is too short.

[@MyATVlife]

harold haggman that's a big problem with these machines. A lot of us have added some cheap, simple, automotive mud flaps that take care of the problem, but yeah, the bed is too short.

[@KGS-ph5kk]

Dont be seduced by this pretty temptress. Go home and tell your P5 you are sorry.

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

KGS 1234 lol. Don’t worry, I don’t think I could give up the P5 for the Maverick Trail. But that doesn’t mean I can’t save up and add one to the fleet😉

[@ericsmallwoodd3977]

KGS 1234 is inbred dont listen to him appalachian!! A honda will outlast any SxS!

[@kong3]

Vico Lok QE sucks in the rocks, period. I have the 1000 dps. Ive spent over $20,000 so far.. went to Darmington Rock Garden it sucked. My Wildcat Trail ate up Miab, Hole in the Rock, New Mexico Rock Crawling. I was looking forward to heading to Moab in a couple of weeks and doing all of the teails again... but with this machine. I also had a trip planned to Hole in the Rock and the Rincon. Now all on hold and Uve got to seriously research a locker replacement that can take a beating. This us my 5th SxS

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

You’ll probably have to throw a Torq locker in there then to get a true locker. I’ve herd from most can am owners that do a lot of actual 4 wheeling that the visco sucks for that kind of stuff. Got to step up to one of there XMR editions to get a true locker but they don’t offer that in the trail.

[@kong3]

The extea power... mudding... not with the Visco lok QE. Quicker than what???

[@fishsticks5175]

Glad I dont live in the US.. or at least those mainstay 50 inch areas. Rather have the Bush in Canada.

[@Jr-stan]

Good vid. You bend your knees sometimes when you talk 😂

[@terrylusk1266]

I am a can am fan. Have x3. But thing thing looks like a joke stay away from that.

[@terrylusk1266]

Braaap Tastic l have to say I seen one in person and sat in one. Really not to bad.

[@aquaticthumb5193]

Don't make me use my mom voice. Lol you score a 10 on that one.

[@susangiggie7996]

How long is it going to take to drive a big stick into that exposed engine? Not to mention the mud and frozen snow/ice caked in there? Four wheeler engines are more protected imo. Keep on riding..mmm.

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Those are good points and things I wonder about too. Yhe Maverick x3, Yamaha’s YXZ is really open as well. Those are designed for going fast on open trails and probably not really intended for back woods trail riding to be honest. You would think this guy though being only 50” wide would have trail riding in mind and be more protected. Time will tell. I do know of a couple YXZ’s around here the get beat on the trails and the expose engine has not be the cause of any problems.

[@timleinart1645]

Seriously thinking about a purchase. I'm 6 feet tall. Will I fit?

[@Tgray2064]

Just got a 2021, I’m 6’2 250 lbs and I fit👍

[@SixDegreesofJim]

I been watching all of your videos and you had me hooked on the P5. I sold my 2014 Can Am 800 commander to buy a trail. So now I am stuck Can Am 800 or P5????

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

+Jimmy James I haven't had the chance to get the Maverick trail out on the trail yet so till I do I can't say how it preforms. I will say the P5 is hard to beat on the narrow trails and I am a bit worried the length of the maverick trail is going to hurt it in the woods.

[@SixDegreesofJim]

AppalachianMountainRiders I have been in the p5 a number of times and a cfmoto 800 a bunch. Out west here we have a mixed bag steep hills lots of trails and wide open roads. The p5 only lacks in power but love love love the 5 speed. Now with the Maverick in the mix. Still leaning to the Honda Orr CFMoto.

[@SixDegreesofJim]

Love your videos. I was buying a cf Moto until I started watching your stuff.

[@SixDegreesofJim]

What do you think about the CF Moto Z Force Trail 800???

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Jimmy James To be honest I don’t know much about them. There are no dealers near me that sells them so I’ve never checked them out. I like the looks of them and it seems like you get a lot for your money but a don’t know how well they hold up. I would be confident in saying not as well as a Honda but that doesn’t mean it would be a bad machine. Wish I could help more. I’ll have to work harder next year at getting some seat time in Other brands like CFmoto so that I can better give my opinions of a broader field of the industry.

[@terrylusk1266]

5 10 160. He is a small kid. Just to small for us grown ups

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Terry Lusk LOL...I’ll take that as a complement!

[@terrylusk1266]

AppalachianMountainRiders Lol. All in fun. Good vid.

[@bobshappell3502]

I am 6'-3" and fit fine!

[@wlacalle]

Would really like to see a ride review!!

[@ericsmallwoodd3977]

My YXZ shits on those!!

[@ebsell]

Can’t even get one here until March.

[@reelchaoscharters3605]

Still like your P5 better

[@ericsmallwoodd3977]

way better bro! Honda>>can-junk

[@jew0182]

Good review man. Can’t the 800 be ordered or optioned with the doors?? How big is rear box? Is it as big as the rack on the P5? I love my P5 and your a big reason I traded the Kymco for it. But sometimes I think to myself hmmm what other machine could I like better?? Lol I’ll prob always keep my pioneer 500 until the perfect blend of utility and sport machine is built that’s the size of the pioneer 500 or maybe slightly bigger (56” or less)

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

You can get the doors for the 800. They just have to be bought separate but according to the guys at the dealer they bolt right on. The rear bed is probably real close to the size of the P5’s rack if I remember correctly. The rack may be just a touch bigger overall but it’s close.

[@jew0182]

AppalachianMountainRiders thanks man. Probably wouldn’t be very useful for any utility purposes I guess. There just ain’t the right mix of utility and sport or a crossover out there that is built and sized right. There’s such a huge hole in the market for a machine like I envision. Something 50-56” wide not long as a boat. 600-800cc with a bench or bucket seat option. Dumping bed. Selectable front and rear lockers. Half doors with roll up windows. Able to cruise 50 mph comfortably. With the P5 tranny of coarse. I’d pay top dollar tonight for it! I mean Honda could easily transform the P5 into this. The ranger midsize is another that’s close. But I’ll never buy a Polaris the fit and finish just ain’t there for me. I love the look of the midsize ranger but that’s about it. I’m really shocked can am hasn’t made smaller defender to compete with the midsize rangers.

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Have you looked st the Wolverine X2?

[@jew0182]

AppalachianMountainRiders I have an I love the X2! I just wish it were a little bit narrower I think it’s 59.1. If it were 3-4 narrower it would be perfect! I’ve about come to the realization that I’m gonna have to get over the width thing.

[@ndjollymon]

I love your sense of humor!

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Thanks!

[@1983thunderbird]

Jason any plans in the near future to do that ride review on the Can-Am trail ?

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

1983thunderbird it will be some time this spring because I’ll have to use a dealer model, unless I can find someone who bought one that will let me use it for a day, and they won’t want me taking a machine out and sloppy it up...lol. That’s why I hope to get support from the OEM!

[@MrBerett315]

First video I've seen of this guy.. If he Is in the Appalachian mountains..... Why are there so. Many dam snow mobiles??

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

That is a good question😂. Guess because it was the beginning of the season and I say season very loosely because there were only a couples weeks worth of good sledding weather here...lol.

[@ericsmallwoodd3977]

Honda>>>can-am all day

[@XRPirates_Booty]

Rzr or maverick?

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

I think I would pick the Maverick over the RZR but I have had very little seat time in either. Hopefully that will change this year as I get to do more reviews!

[@ChefRickB]

ray conforti Maverick Trail 1000 just picked up mine last week and it did everting I asked this last weekend from mud down low to snow 1 1/2 foot deep. Great machine
