Can-Am Maverick R Rock Crawling Review from the Rubicon

[@montanamountainutv]

I'm excited it's so quiet. My deposit is paid! For sale: Polaris Turbo R, X3 too. Thanks for the vid!

[@scottfatta8133]

I am impressed with the machine in the rocks from this review. I can't wait to see the review from Sand Hollow.

[@kylevestermark2121]

Great rock crawling review. I don't think anyone has done this yet.

[@UTVGuide101]

Thank you!

[@grumpyg9350]

I’m so glad you did this bone stock. I hope you can do more trips like this.👍👍👏🏻👏🏻

[@UTVGuide101]

It won’t be stock for too long, but we figured it was important to do this stock

[@ostacruiser]

Awesome vid! I knew after driving this thing for 16hours that it would excel most everywhere offroad. Hope we can bolt up some tracks for this winter!!

[@UTVGuide101]

Appreciate your comment. Hope to see yours with tracks this winter!

[@randalsweeting661]

Maybe some portals and 40s for the spring?

VERY GOOD REPORT ON THE MAVERICK R! I was very impressed with the machine handled the large rocks!

[@rerod650]

Very nice review. The more I watch this machine, the more I like it. Unfortunately it is too big for the areas I regularly ride, so I’m hoping some of the new technology this machine has will make its way into the more compact models in the future.

[@duneme]

Looks like you have clearance for days!

[@brucewedeking5447]

Great review Jon! Sounds like a great car to consider for future. The auto transmission is something the market has been requesting for years! But it would be hard, for me, to give up Ride Command and steering wheel controls. Wish the car to car technology would be adopted by all the UTV manufactures. Knowing the exact location of all the riders in your group (no matter what brand UTV) is so important when off roading.

[@UTVGuide101]

I specifically talked to Can-Am about Ride Command at the media ride and told them that Polaris had them beat when it came to maps and group rides.

[@Ragnarok2414]

Great info on one of my local trails but you gotta work on the uuuummms. It was a little painful.

best review on the Ytube!

[@UTVGuide101]

Thank you!

[@downbytheriver501]

got one coming in November. been beating the literal hell outta my defender 6x6 the last two years rock crawling (and otherwise), so I'm really looking forward to a different platform. I'm concerned about the gear ratios using 35s which is what I'll want to use for said rock crawling.

[@UTVGuide101]

We should have 35’s for Sand Hollow next month

[@downbytheriver501]

@@UTVGuide101 awesome. If y’all wanna see how my defender did check out my vids on it. Did double Sammy. Was a piece of cake, although a bit sketchy for me cause I wasn’t used to that kind of off-roading. It’s the one with Offroad hub I believe. Good luck y’all and look forward to seeing it. I’ll be down there in December with my maverick

[@UTVGuide101]

Missed having you there Paul!

[@jimmace6148]

Watching another channel rock crawl they had issues with it repeatedly going into neutral when they spun the tires at all. I guess it's a safety feature to not break the transmission but made some obstacles nearly impossible unless they went full bonzi.

[@darcy1437]

Hello great place to try your new rig out. I met you this year at King and hammers and the trailer of shock therapy. You probably don’t remember me, but it was an old man that shook your hand. I’ve been looking at this new Maverick car and yes, it is absolutely I think there’s only one word bad ass only problem is I gotta sell my 2020 RC turbo RR whatever is there I don’t know. Looks like it’s flooded out there so we’ll just see what happens only have about 900 so I didn’t destroy it just kept it great shape, I hope I get to go to Hamburg and see you out there again. Have a wonderful day. Keep that up.

[@ALL_OFF-ROAD]

Tires seams to hard, lower the pressure for crawling will help a ton. Also 1st gear doesnt seem very "low". You should be able to crawl half the speed you were going to get better control

[@markball7028]

Good review. I don’t know how many times I’ve heard people make complaints about them upper A arms. That will never work in rock crawling or east coast stuff. I think this machine will shut a lot of naysayers up once it gets out there and people start using it on the trails. People act like the upper A arms are sticking out beyond the tire. If you leaning over that hard to touch those knuckles. One you are either going to roll completely over . Two you are going to drag or take out the entire side of the rig. It’s common sense people.

[@downbytheriver501]

Just did 250 miles of rock crawling with it in sand hollow on the maze(x3), double Sammy (x2), plan b, parts of the fallen, ledges, west rim, etc etc and the only time I even came close to the upper a arms being an issue was dropping into plan b there was a nasty off camber section and overhanging obstacle to the left. That’s it!

[@markball7028]

@@downbytheriver501 I figured that would be the case. Seen lately that there are idiots out there that are trying to make the Maverick R look bad. It’s popping out of gear when in drive mode. It does this when tires start spinning on like a climb or rock crawling. If they would put it in manual mode it doesn’t pop out of gear. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️. They are so use to CVT that they simply don’t know how to operate the Maverick R.

[@downbytheriver501]

@@markball7028 it took me one ride to find that out. Unfortunately there’s not a lot of info out there regarding this, so I spent hours looking through the owners manual, perusing KZbin, and asking on several YT vids what the solution is. Now it works amazingly. It’s geared a bit high for slow crawling though.

[@motorcyclestig8539]

I live by sand hollow about 10mins away and I got a pro r ultimate launch edition. You coming out for utv takeover? Btw glad you like your machine

[@mikemiller9119]

Time will tell if this is a better setup. Those knuckles will be no doubt a problem rock crawling and trail riding when you’re not flat on the ground and have to go under ledges, roots, rocks, etc. hopefully they put some upgrades in the X3 without those knuckles.

[@markball7028]

If you are that far into a ledge you are going to take out the entire side of your side by side or tip over. The knuckle isn’t extended past the tire.

[@mikemiller9119]

[@kenkaplan4413]

I just picked up an identical car at Moto Expo in Concord yesterday for under 41k OTD. I own a 2 seat x3 with full shock therapy iqs, desert storm turbo and just about everything else you can put on and this Mav R blows away every aspect of my x3. I planned on keeping the x3 for a backup but now I don't know if I will even want to drive it anymore since the Mav R is such a better machine. go ahead keyboard warriors and nitpick all you want while I am more interested in driving this state-of-the-art machine.

[@Iamthedude]

I wish nothing but the best for u. I’m a tech at a dealership in NorCal and we’ve had nothing but problems with these. The first one we got had the some suspension wires that were not connected from the factory and most of the other 1s we got they r throwing out suspension errors. What makes this whole situation annoying is that it never throws a code so we either have to find a solution or wait for BRP to find 1.

[@kal1fornia]

1st gear seems like it could be lower for rock crawling? Especially once you add 35s.

[@UTVGuide101]

That was our biggest concern, but all in all, it did better that I expected and will be low enough for all but the more extreme guys.

Can you tell me if the cab felt cooler as far as heat resonating from the engine? Also, does it have a back up camera and a front facing camera?

[@UTVGuide101]

It does have front and rear cameras. We did not experience any extra heat in the cab area.

[@KC-7mm]

Do you plan to gusset the front lower arms to avoid breaking from v notches and stuff like that? I saw some pics of them breaking and also s3 already has a gusset kit so I assume it’s and issue.

[@UTVGuide101]

We will probably either gusset the lower arms or aftermarket arms so we can beat on them.
