2019 Can Am Maverick Sport 1000R review

[@John-hw3ds]

You all need to ride more of these when you can. I'd say most of your audience wants to see the big high hp machines, but probably only about ten percent could afford a S30kish machine. These machines are very capable and in a price range of much more of your viewers. Thanks for the review, hope to see more.

[@SXSBlog]

Just need the invites man. It's not something you can just knock on the door to get into.

[@JsGarage]

I mean people figure it out and spend $30K with the help of a 10 year loan lol. The thing is it just depends what you like to ride. The big machines are badass but they aren't any faster when the trails get tight for them but not for the smaller machines. If you like big air and big riding areas big machines are legit. If you are a trail guy 90% or more of the time these smaller machines to include the RZR S 1000 are awesome. I agree though more coverage outside of the high end machines would be legit.

[@blazer2748]

i do need to say i'm lucky where i grew up but i just got a can am maverick 1000r and i do need to say it's amazing and it can't be compared to anything else

[@Dreamscythe1]

@@blazer2748 i just bought a 2020 one today, getting out of a wildcat and into this so i expect ill find quite the improvement haha

[@motomotto7861]

John Clerke How do you feel about it now? I’m in a Wildcat right now and looking to upgrade as well

[@PracticallySquared1]

Honestly this is the size machine I like. I’m a trail rider, not many dunes in Pittsburgh pa. My rzr 1000S barley fits out some of the cowpaths I ride and honestly 100 hp is more then enough. Most of my buddy’s run 900’s or 1000’s 60” models. This is very appealing. I saw they came out with a rock ant trail edition and I’m highly interested in it.

[@MoparDonny]

Hey Nick!! Glad you got to ride some of the BC terrain. Lots of rock, logging roads, river crossings and trees, BIG DAMN TREES out west. Out here these Sport units in the 60" size are the most common of all machines. Lots of 60" RZR's, Wolverines, and the 50" models are also very popular since all the quad trails are then accessible. Me and a few of my buds have 2011-14 RZR XP's and Mavericks. Trails can be a bit technical in a 64" machine when they've been cut on a 50" Quad, LOL. Keep up the good work. Love the content.

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks Don! It worked AWESOME in the woods. I'd probably not make it more than 9 feet on my X3. lol

[@jacobhernandez13b]

You're getting close to Doug on good commentary, keep up the great reviews. This channel is by far my favorite KZbin channel!

[@blizzardchill9050]

Awesome review! Leonardo makes the entry level Maverick look every bit as exciting to RIP as Beast Mode !

[@SXSBlog]

In certain spots its more enjoyable.

[@MrCarpediempilot]

Still can’t get over how fast you were ripping down that skinny trail. Nice review. Huge trunk on that thing. Pretty cool to see how far we have come. I have a 2013 900 xp. Which only has 88 hp. It still rips. But that has 100 hp and it’s considered a “Sport”. Model. Lol. Thanks for the review.

[@sideskraft]

Ripping down the trails because it wasn't his personal machine. I have the Maverick Trail and would not even take that trail much less at high speeds. I work very hard for my money. These machines look worse after 5 hours of "review testing" than mine will look like after 100 hours. This reviewer did a good job of flogging this machine, so if there were any weak issues, they would have surfaced quickly. FYI, the fit & finish, quality of materials, engineering and overall design of the Can Am is noticeably a level or two above Polaris, which to me is more akin to the machines from Massimo, Odes and Textron (Wildcat Trail) that I looked at before buying (in 2018). Nothing wrong with any of those machines as there are likely thousands of happy owners driving them around and enjoying them.

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Good review man. Im old school and grew up in the old days when 3 wheelers were around and a 300cc was as big as it got LOL. So ive spent all my time on quads and never had a sxs yet. I rode in one as a passenger and freaked out because it felt like it was going to roll over and there was nothing I could do about it. At least riding a quad I can throw my weight around and have some control. Gotta say though If I were to buy one I definitely would go for the Can Am Maverick!!!

[@stephencostello1483]

Your opinions are well taken thank you I found them to be unbiased even though it's not a sand Machine knowing your feeling for Cam-Am . I personally like the sand just a little more but for trail riding tight it's a seed planted . The shocks in the back kind of bug me I mean if I wanted to ride a bronco all day . All said and done anything can be revamp in the following years I hope . Maybe you didn't have this issue but I'm sure over time this will take and affect on your six foot 5 stature . Thanks again

[@stacyreid5077]

I'm with Ryan on seeing it go up against the other ones of this size. And I agree on it needing something from factory to protect the rearend because in the woods I am always backing into trees or something. I've backed into some so hard I just knew I'd broke something on the rear of my Commander

[@petercalnan230]

Hey brother, thank's for that review, crisp and appreciated, nicely done.

[@goldennewf7098]

OMG SOLD OUT DIRT TRAX TO THE POWER OF 110. Kidding, good review. These 60 inchers are actually the rigs for us here in Newfoundland. Lots of tight trails and rock gardens, no big jesus dunes with the wise men on camels and fireball monsters from Mario.

[@wannabejeeper]

Same here in Nova Scotia!

[@mikekopecky5663]

Same here in bc

[@yellowsuzuki06]

It is a fantastic machine! Perfect for picking a smoother line up a hill. It's so fun to drive. I wish I had a week or more to just ride.

[@SXSBlog]

It was a real blast ripping that thing. The more I pushed it the better it got. You can't say that for every machine.

[@yellowsuzuki06]

@@SXSBlog very true, it doesn't have the travel as other machines, yet it seems to do better the harder I push it. The only limit I have on the back roads out here is keeping to a speed that I can respond quickly to oncoming traffic safely. This review and the Dirttrax review got me to buy one. I appreciate your very accurate review. It does handle the couple of jumps I have hit well, landing was surprisingly soft.

[@TheLoWall]

AWESOME JOB! NOT BAD AT ALL FOR YOUR FIRST TIME! I THINK CAN-AM HAS DONE A MUTCH BETTER JOB WITH THIS MAVERICK THAN THE LAST BY ALOT AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEIR ANSWER FOR THE RS1, CAUSE YOU KNOW THEY WILL HAVE ONE. KEEP THE VIDS COMING. GREAT JOB NICK!

[@SXSBlog]

I'm awaiting that as well!

[@ryanberget5742]

Great review......B cool to see how it'd run the Gauntlet.....RZR S / Wildcat Sport Shootout?

[@Floordford]

Make a bumper hitch. That recessed rear end is nice for flat drops. Those back tires extend past the rear. I like that.

[@DUNEATV]

Great honest review Nick! Keep it simple...we don’t need another “professional” person reviewing side by sides. You know what I mean?

[@SXSBlog]

You'd be surprised on the amount of people mad that I'm not a talking corporately paid mouth.

[@mckrackin5324]

Good job Lenardo. The exposed parts in the back seem ok to me. The only thing exposed on this machine that is not exposed on the X3 is the shocks and they aren't exactly fragile. The suspension parts are more exposed and more fragile on the X3. Mainly due to their length. Longer parts are obviously easier to bend. Physics. lol I'm painfully average height at 5'10"ish so the door is a non issue for me but kudos for alerting the tall people. I really enjoyed your ride and review.

[@imbobby74]

mckrackin5324 seems like a rear bumper is a easy fix. Not my kinda machine but seems good for what it is supposed to be.

[@mckrackin5324]

Not my kind of machine either. I like the X3 but I'm hoping the Honda Talon comes out as a turbo because I know Honda is not going to use a CVT drive.

[@23bowser]

You should do more Sport/Rec.....it's the largest group Leo.

[@dodgethishemi]

One thing to also add is how they have moved away from the mid motor design of the previous generations of Mavericks to now a rear motor. Hopefully with a little more time they solve the issue of the shocks and sway bar hanging out the back as that was the first thing I noticed as being a big issue as well.

[@SXSBlog]

I found it hard to compare it to the previous Gen Maverick because my mind was so set on it being a 60" trail machine I didn't really think it was a valid comparison outside of the shared drivetrain. Probably a mistake on my part.

[@pitchpines3851]

Enjoyed the review. Glad you made it to BC. It is such a beautiful place.Take care!

[@markfreeman408]

Amazing!

[@FFL-vg9ro]

You wanted both a tach and speedo display. It's already there. You can display both at the same time. You just have to toggle through the setup options for the display. Easy Peasy.

[@SXSBlog]

Thanks! I didn't see that option and I admittedly didn't play with it much. I really just wanted RPMs.

[@TheDrivewayEngineer]

So as another large guy, I'm 6'5 280 also... How does the room in this compare to a XP 1000? I also live in Michigan and would be riding most of the same trails as you guys.

[@antoinegagnon7939]

The Driveway Engineer this is better hands down more space than the xp 1000

[@countryroads1073]

I would love to see a comparison between this unit and the rzr 1000s

[@SXSBlog]

We're hoping to get our hands on demos of both.

[@SkeldZ06]

As mentioned in some other comments, some of us are stuck with 60" machines. Personally I'm also stuck with a 4 seater. Testing some of those kinds of machines might be interesting.

[@SXSBlog]

They just came out with this in a 4 seater. Would be super neat to get our hands on one!

[@SkeldZ06]

@@SXSBlog Interesting, just saw a picture today!

[@ESR250R1]

What are our chances of getting to see this thing run a 30 second Gauntlet pass? In all seriousness glad to see thing are looking up with brp. Hopefully we get more of these reviews moving forward.

[@kong3]

Good clips, very realistic showing what its like, now imagine the 50" on 50" trails.. a real "E" ticket.

[@Itwillgetbetternever]

You can swap a analog dash into these to get rid of the small pill box cluster

[@indymx6]

These things look pretty fun. I think I would have to go down to a 50" to justify the difference between this and the X3 though. Just seems like its not far enough the other way as far as work capabilities as well so for us I think the Defender or even a Commander would be more useful.

[@SXSBlog]

I agree on top tier pricing, for me I'd rather have a base turbo X3. But it's hard to compare this to that just based upon the capability. We don't have the NEED for that machine here but there are lots of other spots where 60" is about as wide as you can go.

[@indymx6]

I agree totally that's why I was saying the Trail would be better if us big guys can fit. At 50" it can go a bunch of places we cant go even using the 60" machine.

[@scottash2866]

Good review..need see if they will let u guys do a review on the x3 900 Non Turbo?.... See how they run being that big with no turbo.

[@bionicvenom]

I can buy a maverick sport or a Honda talon x, which would you choose?

[@jasonlewis995]

That would be a Talon.

[@barryweigle1356]

Nice machine,got my buddy interested. On another subject Nick, I went sat in my first X3 rc today and I could not get comfortable in it,I’m also 6’5 275 any suggestions? I sit comfy in a rocks and trails Polaris but I really want the Can Am. As always good videos.

[@r324ever]

you can try to get the dealer to remove the rear seat spacers and tilt the front seat bracket up to the higher bracket hole. itll help alot.

[@bobmac515]

Good video, I hope you can do more reviews in this segment. It would be great if you could review the Maverick Sport X RC.

[@SXSBlog]

Barely get any attention from can am. Done begging

[@ReapR_X]

@@SXSBlog that’s crazy, considering how y’all rep the brand so well with the X3’s. I’m hearing so many bad things about Polaris these days and so many great things about CanAm. I realize that every brand have their issues but I’ve honestly heard and seen great things about CanAm. I, myself, own a 2019 Maverick Sport 1000R and I love it so far. I know this is an older video, but I take every opportunity I can to tell you guys how much I appreciate and enjoy your videos.

[@MS-gr2nv]

Its neat when basic 60" machines are like 64" and Swell that 64" are like 72"...neat review.

is there a next gen machine coming up soon? more spec a machine with above 170hp, with a paddle tranny like the yxz and a active suspension like the razr, ground clearance of the x3 or xx?

[@destinhook3826]

We need a 2022 version!!

[@82mattlopez]

Great review. The only problem I have with it is you can buy a Polaris XP 1000 for $14500 in Tennessee. I know the XP isn't it's competition but Can Am needs to be more price competitive. We would like something more reliable than Polaris but price dictates most times.

[@SXSBlog]

MSRP vs MSRP. There will be volume dealers giving similar numbers on this machine I'm sure.

[@jrub9983]

TN has the #1 (Abernathy) and #2 (Pro-X) Polaris dealers in the US so they will have the best price until they run out. We travel from NC to TN to buy our units.

[@josephlane4759]

Looks like a really good trail car. Good review.

Love the channel trying to make some you tube videos my self but totally green to it can you tell me what program you are using for video editing? Thanks guys

[@c.s.3746]

I believe another negative you mentioned in the prior video was the long winded steering?

[@ROTAXD]

C. S. Steering ratios like that are likely to help keep it shiny side up. A coser ratio would likely contribute to more rollovers.

[@c.s.3746]

Makes sense.

[@druu988]

Why do they cost so much?

[@morgandc22]

What model was the "red" one? Sounded different.

[@SXSBlog]

1000, ~75hp

[@Defect3401]

So for the type of ridding you did with this in this video would you rather have this or the 64" X3?

[@SXSBlog]

Absolutely not. For those trails the 60" with a shorter wheelbase than the X3 killed it!

[@Defect3401]

@@SXSBlog yeah I'm trying to decide what machine to buy the riding that we do would be like this and the Hatfield and McCoy trails.

[@MrBhowren]

[@AcidicJO]

How was the heat inside the cab? Considering it’s the same engine as the Gen 1 Mav, I remember you would soak up all that engine heat.

[@SXSBlog]

Literally none. It's rear mounted and also has a lot of ducting up front to divert air away from the cab.

[@schumif1champ]

When you say nothing is faster in those trails do you think a MAVERICK X3 X DS TURBO R would have went through faster or would the extra size of that machine made it not as quick through the tighter trails you were on.

[@scottmoss3410]

Leo, I need your help. I ride exclusively in central WV on tight woods trails, logging roads, and old county roads. I have watched every video I can find trying to decide between the 2020 KRX and the 2020 Can Am Maverick Sport X XC (which is 64”). I know you guys have tested the KRX quite a bit. If you had to choose between one or the other, which would you recommend I buy?

[@SXSBlog]

I think the Mav would be a better choice for tight riding. The KRX is larger and lumbers more than the smaller units.

[@scottmoss3410]

SXSBlog.com Thank you sir. I respect your opinion. Keep up the great work!

[@nowherespecial6780]

The 2022 commander XMR seems exactly like a Maverick sport but with 30" tires and dump body .in a way pretty sweet And the shocks are relocated from the the very behind of the machine to about 11" forward on the 2022 Commander XMR Oh starting to think that it's not a commander at all anymore it's a Maverick sport with tougher tolerances
