I have watched alot of these videos from this event. Your's has been the most informative. Anyone who says the machine is perfect and there is nothing bad about it, loses credit to me. Nothing is perfect. So if can-am is listening we need more people and videos like this from your events.

[@edwarddietsche9435]

Great comprehensive review. Thank you

[@ShawnHill-ji3vn]

Thanks for such a great informative review.

[@tkpowersports]

Glad it was helpful!

[@davidsawmandave8731]

Also new king of price

[@motorcyclestig8539]

They priced the car down so they can price you up with accessories with their accessory packages and you fell for it thinking like that lol smh

[@dwayneeverett755]

Negative, Polaris still holds that with the Troy Lee design Pro R

Did you blow out a tire on the back left? Looks like the machine is dirty but the left rear is clean as can be

[@TruckKing]

Good eye! I did have a flat at the end of the first day of riding. I stepped out the back end around a corner and hit a rock with the sidewall. There was about 10-12 flats on our 2-day ride, spread between about 12 machines.

[@nismomike3182]

The seat can be tilted forward or backwards 5° from the stock position.

[@uowebfoot]

40-45K for what is trophy truck performance. It's actually pretty good. Only other things out there would be a Raptor or TRX. How much do those cost? 77-109K.

[@toddbrimer5672]

After going down the gas line by my cabin I would put my pro r up against it. It was smooth as glass and no short of power.

[@liamrobinson2084]

I suppose it's neat that Canam is making this halo vehicle and, eventually, in principle, new tech trickles down to cheaper models. My concerns is what this model's price point may do to the expected sale price of the rest of the sxs segment. The problem isn't that some people have the $ to pay this price, but whether the existence of this machine will shift all the others higher, like it did with pickup trucks. Where are those $28k stripped-down base-model half-ton trucks now? Most start well into the CA$40k range now, with a ton of "standard" features that were options not too long ago. Truck prices are averaging closer to CA$60k, and easily get up around CA$100k out the door. Also, no airbags?

[@skater506]

when you look at sxs's from 10+ years ago you realize why the price increase is justifiable.

[@KuschallRacing]

hihi.....i think i musst that you change channel ? anyway, wonderful lisstent to you again and hearing your allways enthusiastic and positive commets in a very high professional matter !! hope you stay a bit strong in to the sxs...more exhiting things will come now for sure...

[@dr.pastrami5272]

I got some custom logos done that say BURP instead of BRP... Same style and everything.

[@yorkchris10]

It's funny - I was going to say no transmission intake. Still, the spare belt cavity is gone. Bombardier had to buy back the lead-acid urban commuters from their Quebec customers.

[@johnholyfield8704]

Can you put it in sport-plus but leave the three valves working all the time are the three cylinders working all the time

[@precisionmarksmanshiphq773]

How is driving this better or worse than driving a RZR turbo?

[@motorcyclestig8539]

Can't believe the paddle shifters don't turn with the steering wheel that's a huge fail on can ams part.

[@UTVActionMagazine]

Of all the Sport SXS's with paddle shifters, NONE of them move with the steering wheel. They don't need to. They are wide enough, that you aren't missing them even if you want to shift while turning.

[@motorcyclestig8539]

@UTVActionMagazine when you drive it on roads like you did of course you don't need them but when you dive into corners with your hands 12 to 6 and go to grab the shifter out of the corner good luck finding it and btw I never said the other ones did have it but they should because I've driven a talon and had the problem I just mentioned. Cars have it so why shouldn't off road vehicles have it that requires more steering than car racing which I've done aswell. 🤷‍♂️

[@IDDQD1984]

First time i see YXZ winner...(i only care if you can legally drive fast as law says in Finland, and not sure is it possible to YXZ, Got 350 raptor wich can) If those contidions are met and i win at lottory i buy one with scoop and drive even on winter time!

[@redimido4u]

Doesn’t exist such thing as rzr killer😂

[@dougatdesertdemongarage7777]

I've seen a lot of reviews on this new can am but I haven't seen it actually go app against the rock star of the old cannon that would be nice to see compete together with equal drivers and see how you do then but I do like the new can am and I do own Maverick X3 DSR R Arizona demon full speed I get like 98 miles an hour

[@johnholyfield8704]

I don't really like that cylinder cutting on and off to me it seems like you would lose power somewhere even though it comes right back on would it be just as fast if you had the three valves or the three cylinders to stay on all the time

[@wolfj2032]

Not in terms of get up speed.

[@LiteBrite]

You don’t understand how anti lag works then. Google it to learn more about how it keeps larger turbos spooled on rally cars

[@markball7028]

You’d be wrong. The middle cylinder is an air pump that gets the turbo spooled up for less turbo lag. It’s there for a reason. Let the engineers do what they do best.

[@TheBandit7613]

You can turn that feature off if you want.

[@andrewsbbq]

How will Polaris answer

[@danielstanfield7772]

They've had a patented automated sequential in the works for years

[@alb5tana]

A good engine, clutch and exhaust tune in a Rzr Pro R will do. The weight to hp ratio on the Maverick R is not very good. IMO

[@jeffphillips624]

The rzr pro r is still the king. And the 2024 isn't out yet.

[@wildwest6771]

The Pro R has zero new technology. All they did was move the front shocks to the lower arm, beef up the current motor platform with an extra cylinder and beef up some of the parts. Fit and finish is still pretty much the same as my old turbo s. Don’t get me wrong I luv my pro r but nothing game changing.

[@motorcyclestig8539]

​@@wildwest6771the pro r was a huge game changer when it first came out. I own 2 pro Rs. They didn't go turbo so the power was instant unlike having to shut down a cylinder to get rid of turbo lag and it still has turbo lag, then the sport rock and race mods was huge, ride command will always be the best, first to offer bolt on accessories from the factory that worked along side with rigid, assault, pro armor and rockford fosgate, first to offer massive a arms and trailing arms, first to offer 3.0 shocks in the rear, much better cooling and a bullet proof 4 cylinder DOHC engine, almost double the travel numbers of anything before it. So to say it wasn't a game changer is laughable. New frame, bigger cage, 5 lug, bigger brakes I can keep going.... have you seen a pro r next to a pro xp!? I've compared them next to each other and everything is double the size. You have to be joking when you said they just did acouple things that's it lmao wow. You own a pro r!? Thats likes me saying the maverick r is just alil better than the x3 they did some things better lmao

[@motorcyclestig8539]

​@@wildwest6771about the thing you said about no new technology I don't want no more crap in my car I'm good. I'm constantly choosing between H and L, rock mode to race mode and rock suspension mode to baja suspension mode, 4wd to 4wd lock and to navigation and pressing the g out button. If its not broke dont fix it. He mentions your "technology" at 13:20 and I don't want a DCT in my car and speaking of DCT they didn't make the paddle shifters move with the steering wheel. I like how the pro r is simple but a beast. Btw the can am forces you to use the screen on alot of stuff the polaris doesn't I just flip a switch or press a button on my switchpro. SIMPLE

[@wraith511802003]

@@wildwest6771 Your commentary is nothing but ignorant shite. TONS of new in the Pro R that can am tried to shot above. Can am has always been following Polaris since this all began.

[@danielstanfield7772]

​@@wildwest6771I reckon the Pro r and maverick r are huge game changers ...

[@full_charge]

I have a feeling someone will make an aftermarket knuckle that can fit bigger tires or a knuckle that is actually adjustable.

[@ericlessard5021]

I m from quebec city, and one of my friend told me this too, about the guy who order one with all the accessory for 92k

[@jackhammer2671]

Fully loaded....$90 THOUSAND DOLLARS ?????...are they insane???...I thought $50-$55k bad enough but $90k is freaking nuts...could I buy one yes but would I pay that kind of coin for a SxS ??...NO WAY!!!!

[@pajamatime5750]

Where do you see fully loaded for $90,000??

[@TruckKing]

To be clear, that was a top-end machine combined with literally every accessory in the catalogue in Canadian dollars, and that is tax included. So a very extreme case, but still a story I had related to me.

[@markball7028]

Who throws or needs every single accessory possible?? You can get a decently equipped rig for 50k easy.

[@DanielGarcia-zz9eg]

How can I get a invite from can am

[@jimhanle2971]

I’d wait a year to buy one of these. A nice rig but a lot of new tech to be broken on this thing for sure

[@davidpickens3117]

Will BRP offer the R model in a 64” wide set up

[@mickelion6198]

It’s got a 250 lbs limit

[@MiguelDiaz-zk8dk]

They took the control arms from the automotive world. My wife’s x5 has similar setup the ball joints line up and the clearance between the tire and ball joint location is similar. Nothing new just new to the sxs world.

[@fozzybear9114]

NO RZR CAN KEEP UP WITH THIS. HELL THE STOCK X3 BEATS ALL OF THEM

[@full_charge]

It’s not pronounced Nah vah dah.

[@TheBandit7613]

You tell em' !!!

[@snoop8093]

Can-am really dropped the ball by not putting a oh shit putting on the steering wheel

[@mactetreault]

the shock sensors should sense that and react before bottoming on huge hits. That's quite literally it's purpose. Hundreds of datapoints per second being calculated for shock adjustement. Can am would have included it if it was actually useful I think.

[@arnw7933]

​@bikinboyz95 I have one on my pro r. I use it all the time . It can't predict when I'm about to slam in the face of a dune . Or a sudden wash out . Thoes are the senerios I use it the most .

[@wraith511802003]

CLICK BAIT? Polaris will always rise to the top with something better, an can am always plays catch up.

[@richsharp1524]

Next up. Polaris one ups this machine with a turbo on the pro R. Annnnnd it’s game over till can am gets a bigger motor

[@wildwest6771]

Anybody can make any car faster after the fact.. How good is the car right off the factory floor bone stock. Sorry but CanAm is now king right now and I don’t even like CanAm.

[@richsharp1524]

@@wildwest6771 true. So what your saying is can am made their car after the fact lol. Polaris build a naturally aspirated motor that kills the can am. RIGHT FROM THE FACTORY BONE 🦴 STOCK …..And now can am had to add more power and suspension to be better than Polaris. I get it 😂 your statement proves what you said. Oooh and no need to be sorry. Lol. I don’t care 🤷‍♂️ I wouldn’t spend that kinda money on either of them. Both are completely awesome…. I just can’t afford one 😂

Don’t need to put a turbo for that to happen, a stage 3 tune will be enough. ~ 3,000 dls

both have too many issues especially for the money.

This type of macho is why we are losing hundreds of miles of trails in Moab and other places!!!! Should be limited to race tracks only.

[@TheBandit7613]

Headed to the dunes in a couple weeks. There'll be 50,000 people there. WAY MORE dune riders than you think. We don't go to little 90 acre off road parks.
