Chopping Our Brand New Maverick Sport Cage!

A common modification for the Can-Am Maverick Sport is something called a "Cage Chop". Most people do it for looks, we had to do it to fit our 2021 Maverick Sport XRC XMR into our trailer!

Dude that looks sooo good!!!

[@MainvilleATV]

Thanks man, I've always found the maverick cages oddly tall. This is the solution until I do some better next month

[@rzradventures6525]

That's one good looking can am, not like I'm crossing over, but I appreciate a good build when I see one. Also watching how those system 3 tires are working.

[@MainvilleATV]

Thanks man!

[@rickpeters2671]

Looks so much better!

[@davidl.532]

Wanted to say thank you for this video it was my main source of how to chop the cage of the X RC, I just did my new 2022 X RC and it turned out awesome, love the look of the chop makes it a bit more sportier. I ended up using Chevy engine block orange to match the roll cage color of Can AM's Magma Red, matches really good. Again thank you for the video yours was the most detailed and helpful of the others out there.

[@MainvilleATV]

Glad it helped! Make sure to share it to others :)

[@geraldhawkins2643]

Man that looks awesome I would not change anything else!!!

[@OnionCreekWizard]

For all the Maverick owners out there I've been running System 3 35" tires on there single bead lock wheels with 1 1/2 wheel spacers with no clutch or belt mods for over 200 hours with no problems of any kind.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Really need to do this to mine. Makes it look so much better!

[@MainvilleATV]

Really doesn't take long! Took us about 1.5 hours.

[@texasrenegade2337]

This build list just earned a new subscriber! Good job fellas , I just bought a 2021 maverick sport xmr and there’s not very many videos on these machines

[@MainvilleATV]

Welcome to the channel! We have some big boy parts on the way as we speak so you'll love that! Thanks for watching

[@texasrenegade2337]

@@MainvilleATV sweet 🤙🏻where did you purchase your side mirrors ? And I’ve definitely got plans for a “ stockish “ roof chop …Thanks for the content

[@MainvilleATV]

From CanAm

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

Gotta say, darn straight cuts with a reciprocating saw! NOT easy ...turned out great!!!

[@MainvilleATV]

Not going to lie, was hoping someone would notice haha you're the mvp Don

[@ADVENTURESThisWay]

@@MainvilleATV YES!! Those that know, know…seriously turned out 👌 real nice! I’m intrigued to see the custom plans you mentioned.

[@Drewitt9]

Love the content on the channel. Makes me wanna chop the cage on mine again.

[@MainvilleATV]

Glad you're enjoying it!

[@ericgagnon3395]

tres belle job j'aime le lock que sa donne!!!!!!!

[@MainvilleATV]

Merci! On n'est toujours pas fini ak le look, surtout ak la cage. Ça va changer encore plus. Vraiment excité de vous montrer les prochaines étapes du projet.

[@The305sBigLou]

I had the same issue with my toy hauler and I just put the factory tires back on and swap them out when I get to my destination. But that cage chop looks good.

[@MainvilleATV]

Thought of that too, but I also love the chopped look. Two birds one stone.

[@projectdad6561]

Can you share with me the wheels/tires you have? I like them. Thanks

[@zackclark2214]

Looks good but did you try letting the air out of the tires and then seeing if it would fit?

[@MainvilleATV]

It wouldn't have made nearly enough difference unless I completely flattened them.

[@lrlapua8035]

Going to do the same to my Sport XC........

[@Dany_4129]

Looks good!! What’s the height of the opening of your trailer door if you know by chance? I’m picking up a maverick XMR on Tuesday and my trailer opening is 78” sure hoping it will fit in

[@MainvilleATV]

Mine is the same I believe but I also have a beaver trail entrance

[@cookiescrib3854]

Man that looks good. If you would’ve cleaned those welds up better you literally never would know. I don’t have I can’t Can-am yet but I’m working on it LOL. Again that was a nice job.

[@MainvilleATV]

I'm proud of my ugly welds bahaha

[@cookiescrib3854]

@@MainvilleATV If I had not seen that video I would have never known to tell you the truth. Either way it does look damn good. I hope you didn’t take that the wrong way.

[@MainvilleATV]

Ahah oh no. Not at all.

[@jboutdoors7019]

If your not a professional welder, your a professional grinder!

[@780Aleks-AB]

I still need to fix my cage after my flip over 😄

[@MainvilleATV]

Chain and a tree homie haha

[@cossyboy]

How did the original clutching work with those tires?

[@MainvilleATV]

It was not good at all. Definitely need clutch work for this.

[@stacyreid5077]

That’s a great idea for lowering the cage if y’ have the head room to spare.

[@tysonpinske6396]

Any idea if the factory can am windsheild would fit? Thinking about doing this to mine but don’t want to sacrifice windsheild

[@davidl.532]

i don't see why it would not just did my cage and it doesn't do anything to the front but tilts it back a little definitely would affect rear window and/or cab enclosures like door windows.

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

Brave man cutting an in warranty machine. Not a fan of SXS roofs, they tend to make the machines look unsporty. Looks great now.

[@MainvilleATV]

I never have warranty. Just the nature of what I do. My dealer knows it too and they're still super awesome 👌

[@connormcfalls6405]

Had any problems with it since. Safety wise ? Still holding up ? Strong as stock ?

[@MainvilleATV]

Zero issues. No cracks, paint held the whole bit. As long as you get a good weld you won't run into any issues.

[@PistNbroke]

PistNbroke approved paint and welding, you want a job ? Lol

[@MainvilleATV]

Oh god, keep me the hell away from a body shop.

[@tripleggee68]

Much better looking, stock is way too tall. I wanted to do it to mine but it’s going up for sale in a couple weeks. That was my biggest reason fo getting 90” clearance in my trailer.

[@MainvilleATV]

Ah! Upgrading? Or just done with the side by side? Hope the new place is going well Grant!

[@tripleggee68]

@@MainvilleATV gonna try an X3 this time around. New place has had a bunch of hold ups, but all clear now so digging should commence in a couple weeks 👍

[@isabelfigueroa517]

Where did you get your roof? I want something similar

[@MainvilleATV]

Can Am.

[@Hw3racing]

Do you not do anything with the front of the cage? It just pulls down and lines up?

[@MainvilleATV]

Yepp good to go

[@SCOTIAN_]

Funny you put this out today , I was practicing my Stevie Wonder mig welding today ….. and well Stevie probably could do better lol

[@MainvilleATV]

Bahaha. I make things stick. Way out of practise lol

[@SCOTIAN_]

@@MainvilleATV I trying to get brave enough to tack some of my exhaust on the cobra 😬

[@MainvilleATV]

@@SCOTIAN_ if you tac it and pull it off, it'll be a lot easier to weld top down.

[@SCOTIAN_]

@@MainvilleATV oh I agree , but I have to pull the rear diff off to do it lol , just a couple of tacks to keep it from turning .

[@KevinSpecialK]

Do you know if you can use the can am powerflip windshield with this customization?

[@MainvilleATV]

I'd be guessing but I suspect you could.

[@KevinSpecialK]

@@MainvilleATV cool, how tall are you? Do you still have good clearance sitting on it. I'm about 6'1 (185)

[@MainvilleATV]

@@KevinSpecialK I'm 5 foot 9 185, but there's tons of room for you

[@KevinSpecialK]

@@MainvilleATV thank you! Quick questions, for hight, do you use the metric system?

[@dalepoppenhagen8549]

I sure can't tell if it's a different color

[@chadnsummercollins5372]

What size and kind of rims and tires are you running

[@MainvilleATV]

MSA 18 inch tall. Dirtylife.ca would know the actual model of them if you're looking at them.

@@MainvilleATV thanks man im looking for a set to run around the house so im not wearing my ol 2s out on highway

[@beardedatvers]

finally getting around to watching this, makes me wanna do mine anyways and deal with my helmet hitting lol

[@MainvilleATV]

You'd have to be like 6 foot 5 for it to maybe be an issue

[@beardedatvers]

Cast roll cage?

[@MainvilleATV]

Yes Can Ams cages, like most other brands are made by casted materials.

[@elraultrujillo3005]

Did u lift it ?

[@MainvilleATV]

No, stock height.

[@jonathanbest9621]

Great idea. But come on guys the roll cage is their to possibly save your life. If you roll the first thing to go are those diy welds. Lol. Anyone else out their that wants to do the same have a pro weld your cage for you just because you have a welder does not make you a welder. Good luck lmfao

[@SUNNDANCE]

Chopping a sport cage and documentation of the hack, puts one liable for injuries to the riders in court.

[@texasrenegade2337]

Hard core folks in the SxS community know what they’re getting in to when they chop the roof …. It’s not looking for a lawsuit ! That’s like trying to sue the manufacturer because you rolled your SxS down a hill ….
