2019 Can-Am Maverick Sport: Watch this before you buy

[@JohnnyRebKy]

Im so glad this channel is REAL REVIEWS and not infomercials. DirtTrax TV has become a big commercial with no real reviews. This channel is real reviews. Keep up the great work!

[@Mike-zn9xt]

I bought the 1000R sport and i must say he is bang on with his comments. One thing he did not mention was there is no cab heat at all on these. I was concerned when i was buying one of these as other sxs you feel like you are in an oven. I have not once noticed heat in the cab. Great review and awesome machine!!!

[@atlnative8222]

How is the power on your machine, does the 100hp seem enough?

[@Mike-zn9xt]

@@atlnative8222 honestly yes for my type of driving. It's a trail/sport machine. If you want to play in open areas/dune or track buy an X3. If you trail and field ride this machine is awesome. I can keep up and even push 1000cc quads in the trails. Love it. We always want more power but I don't need it. Can't use it all in the trails.

[@RTOutdoors]

Really enjoy Stephen’s perspectives and reviews. Keep it going, gentlemen.

[@jameshilt6826]

I've always had Polaris ATV's since at least 1994. Never really wanted/needed anything else. Then came Can am. Game changer, a whole different class both in sound and power. Went and got me a Can-am Sport DPS 1000R. Wow. 100hp is fast and powerful but if I had to do it again I'd splurge for the x3 turbo. But this Sport was sitting in the showroom with $6500 loaded on it and if I bought it right then they'd give me another year and a half warranty...SOLD!

[@CANAMOFFROAD]

Thanks for the review!

[@one_slow_b0at]

We just recently got a 2021 can am maverick sport max 1000r. This thing loves to slide around.

[@NorthernRiderOffroad]

In a polaris guy and I'm really liking the new XMR version of this machine. You guys gotta get your hands on one and mud it.

[@jrub9983]

I have been cutting half windshields in half for about 6 years because no one makes them. Its perfect when water splashes over the hood it keeps it off your lap. When its cold and your hauling a__ it keeps wind off your chest and arms... Love quarter windshields!!!

[@mrtosh]

The full size older Maverick and the X3 both have Tri-Mode DPS 3 way adjustable power steering. They've had it in their sxs for years.

[@KBbaby4201]

Yup. The only 2 lines they make that don't have the Tri-Mode DPS are the new V-Twin Mavericks and the Defender and fittingly, they happen to use the same power plant/trans.

[@stephanieallen7946]

Awesome review. So many are sponsored by can am, loved the good, bad and weird! Thank u so much❤

[@jasonlewis995]

Another great reveiw...also the camera work is solid AND clear!

[@Josh-dg4gk]

Great review very informative. Also like that you played Protest the Hero on the stereo!

[@TFLoffroad]

Finally! I was waiting for someone to notice the PTH.

[@AppalachianMountainRiders]

Really like the look of the new Mavericks! Fell in love with the Trail when I did a review of it when it first came out and the 60" sport looks just as nice! Great review!

[@hillhound523]

Nick from sxsblog! I saw him getn it in! 👍👍great review

[@canamdennis6829]

Once again great video very informative love the way you guys do your videos keep up the good work thanks so much

[@mykalbee]

Big fan of Can Am. Had a chance a few yrs back to go to a ride event and I'm sold for sure. My only issue is the pricing...too much for me at the moment. I don't think the pricing is horrible for what your getting it's just a lot to spend on a toy especially one that I have few options of places to ride close to home. I'll get my fix renting where I can and enjoying sxs's that way.

[@JesseLJohnson]

Tons of used ATVs and SxS for sale for around half the new price if you look around. I already have a Can Am Commander 1000 XT but have considered buying another besides the ATVs I also already own. Maybe a 4 seater and I found locally a used 2016 Kawasaki Teryx 4 the model with EPS and Fox shocks for $8500, that would be like $16k new I would imagine. If you just want a SxS though there are tons of deals. So many RZR for sale around here especially 800 models starting at $5500. It might be 4-5 years old with 1000-2000 miles but it will still give you a thrill and be something to go riding with.

[@mikem7618]

Great review, the prices of sxs are out of hand though.

[@27Zangle]

I noticed after two years of moderate driving a well taken care of example is nearly 60% of MSRP (or less). I've seen 2016 Mavericks for well under $11k and only averaging around 500 miles. Of course this is the non-turbo model.

[@JesseLJohnson]

You can get a hell of a deal on a couple year old model. There are tons of SxS and ATVs listed for sale here, and many seem to sit for sale for a while. Many I have noticed prices dropping too. I already have a Commander XT 1000 but have considered buying another and I have kinda thought a 4 seater might be nice to have as well. Well I found a 2016 Teryx4 the higher end model with eps and Fox shocks think they call it the LE model and it has 400 miles and they only want $8500 for it. There is a 2015 800 Commander XT for $7500, well 2 of them at that price but one is a 1000 both are yellow though and the 1000 has Pro Armor doors, bead lock rims, full windshield, some other aftermarket accessories. There is a few WIldcats pretty cheap too. One is a Walker Evans edition that is white and orange for $7500 its a 2013 I think though but it looks brand new with well under 1k miles and of course Walker Evans shocks. There is a Yamaha XYZ for $11,500 too that has all kinds of aftermarket stuff on it too. Bunch of 800 RZR starting at $5500. Quite a few Mavericks too. I called on one but it was just sold. It was only an 2014 but it was the X-RS DPS model and it had I think a Trinity exhaust, Pro Armor doors and other aftermarket parts with like 2k miles and they only wanted $8k for it. I haven't yet seen a used X3 though or a RZR turbo used for sale, probably will soon enough though. There was an Artic Cat ATV I wish I bought last Dec. I can't think of the model but its the stripped down 700 cc model that is only like $5999 new that had 10 miles on it 2017. Somebody bought it to haul their race car around the pits at the race track couple miles from my parents house. They had it listed for $4500 then a couple weeks later for $4k. For that cheap would have been nice to have a utility quad besides the King Quad I already have. Would love a Scrambler or Renegade too and lots of them for sale. I have found a couple 850 Scramblers for $7000 or so which probably isn't that great for machines that are 3-4 years old, seen some better deals on Renegades though.

[@27Zangle]

The Yamaha YXZ and the Wolverine appear to drop value quickly. Not sure why. I have seen a couple YXZ for less than $11k with low miles and lots of aftermarket goodies. I was looking at a Wolverine for less than $8k used with only 250 miles, windshield, new tires, winch, and a warranty till this December.

[@27Zangle]

All the time actually. A co-worker has a 800 and he said it can't go riding without something breaking on it. We're not talking about aggressive riding. A local Honda dealer sells Can-Am as well. They always say "You want power and speed go Can-Am, but you want reliability then go Honda or Yamaha." HE did state Can- Am pays the bills with the repair shop. Personally, I would go Can-Am because they ride nicer, have more power, speed, and the engines are top notch. I figure once you work through the issues it will be a great unit for many years.

[@paxtonjohnsonll3282]

Mike M fo sho, who is buying these

[@paulp1123]

This guy is awesome keep him on! Get him in the yukon testing snowmobiles !

[@pajamatime5750]

Another good review buddy! Keep up the good work.... If you’re ever in Manitoba and want to hit some sweet trails message me, we got a lot of em!

[@TFLoffroad]

I would love to hit up Manitoba trails one day! Will certainly reach out. Thanks! - Stephen

[@CarsAndZebras]

That scenery is awesome!!! What great trails.

[@charlespalmerii4299]

Great job! hows the steering without DPS ? thanks charlie

[@jamiewilliamson9376]

The trunk is useless the bed has holes in it. Allowing water and mud to come in from the bottom.

[@adampetten1009]

About the steering, the SXS does have adjustable steering, just get the dps

[@solen1849]

Wow can am holds the drink for you? That's crazy man

[@triggerhappyreviews]

Man I love reviews done by a bigger guy. So many are made by puny little dudes that don't have a clue what the rest of us deal with.

[@GuardianGrove]

Awesome review. That thing is sweet. I bought 2 CFMoto ZForce units this year and I really love the value. I just did a short review on my channel and really put some effort into it but man, the quality of your reviews is awesome!

[@TFLoffroad]

Thanks man!

[@catjackoff-road855]

Wish our prices was like the USA 4-5 grand more up north here.

[@HooksPlays]

Nice review. Do you have access to any of the Hammerhead Go Kart/Buggy products. Looking at an entry level 2 seater to break in my little guy. Ya know before we hand over a full UTV.

[@dukeboyzpowersports]

Been thinking about buy one, great review 👍👍

[@michaelmercier3887]

Thank you for your assessment

[@danielboyd9380]

Very helpful.. especially the fact it is a 2 beer job. One question? Were those large or medium beers?

[@wannabejeeper]

Man for that price you'd think the box would be lockable.

[@benolsen1414]

I am stuck between purchasing the base model maverick X3 or the maverick sport r. I like both trails and wide open roads. I worry the X3 will be too big being 4 inches wider and about a foot longer. Also the X3 seems you sit so low and seeing over the hood might hamper vision in trails more. Curious what would you pick if you had the choice? X3 seems like maybe a better bang for the buck being only $1500 more than the sport??

[@jamespatton1694]

A quebec plate in the glove box...did the machine come from valcourt?

[@jamieshields9521]

Great vid loving Cam Am 1000R, can TFLoffroad do vid on accessories for off-road ATV like soundbars or cooler boxes. I would used ATV go camping👍

[@benolsen1414]

Nice job. I'm in the market for a side by side but have not driven any yet. I am kind of a yamaha fan because I have owned bikes and quads and liked the reliability. I know they are in different categories but how would you compare the fun factor between this machine and the wolverine x2? I like trails and wide open and am a little surprised by the x2 low max speed. Just curious how "you" felt overall about the two compared?

[@TFLoffroad]

Hey Ben. Thanks for watching. The Can-Am definitely takes the win in the power department, especially the 1000R. But even the non-R models feel more powerful than the X2 and easier to drive with the throttle i.e. break it loose. The Can-Am also has a much longer wheelbase, allowing to "float" a little nicer down the trail than the X2. On the plus side for the Yamaha, the steering is some of the best in the segment in my opinion. Nicely weighted, super direct and great on-center feel. In comparison, the Can-Am steering feels light and overboosted. X2 feels compact and nimble as well, where the Can-Am feels just a little big thanks to its length. And the Yamaha gives you a functional dump bed. If you're looking for straight up high-speed thrills, the Can-Am will deliver more of that. It's more raucous and has a little more hooligan spirit baked in. The X2 comes off feeling more subdued overall, though for tight twisty trails where you can't really use the power anyways, the Yamaha feel tight and nimble. It's a tough call! I can't pick a machine outright, but hopefully this helps.

[@Bubble555brain]

Thanks. I guess my biggest dilemma is the the low top speed of the wolverine vs the long wheelbase of the maverick in tight trails. If I win the lotto I'll buy both. Cheers.

[@kraemerdustin]

I don’t know about the maverick but the x3 has adjustable power steering

[@FunkMasterJunk]

Steven, could you get your hands on a XMR?

[@miller440x]

Great review, but its not just the atvs that have the tri-mode power steering.

[@TFLoffroad]

I believe the Defender has it as well. Any others? I should have just referenced the Maverick models, not the entire side-by-side lineup. - Stephen

[@miller440x]

Ya the original maverick, the x3 and the commanders all have tri-mode.

[@randalsweeting661]

Price wise this is in the same price range as the baby x3. So which is better?

[@practicalguy973]

I'm not to big on the rear shocks being so out in the open on the back.

[@kong3]

Put a bumper on. CanAm Trail is longer than the other Trail units. With no aftermarket bumpers it barley fits in a 10' Toy Hauler garage. I have over 2000 miles no problems with the back end and I drive it like I stole it.

[@dw-9877]

Your reviews are just right, not to long and very informative. Good work.

[@redleg318fa]

When is a Mav Sport vs S900/1000 comparison coming?

[@Jwils4]

can am does offer adjustable power steering on the x3 min med and max.

[@TiDliDa1]

in the commander as well !

[@gregcandor2562]

Can you test the Arctic Cat Wildcat XX?

This message brought to you by BRP.

[@middlehot]

Thanks you are the better to full review a machine

[@oscartheninja]

Future turbo version would be nice!!!

[@1gr8oil]

Great review! I think CANAM makes some good machines, but ALL ATV's/UTV's are to PRICEY!

[@tuckerschwab5331]

Pay off your car or truck and then start paying off your sxs at the same price per month and it will be paid off quick and easy

[@1gr8oil]

Did you notice any heat inside the cockpit?

[@Mike-zn9xt]

I have the 1000r and no heat at all. my father in law has a defender and its like sitting on a frying pan.

[@canadaplace2be176]

Well the new Yamaha finally came out with a. Manual 175hp side by side. Im thinking that is the most hp yet for side by side. Can am had one quad. 195. Boost or Somthing. Looks like u drove that thing to the moon n back..

[@quadmania59]

@SXSBlog footage??

[@TFLoffroad]

Naw, it's all TFLOffroad footage! Nick and I were working together. He drove, I shot, then we shared the footage. So some of it ended up on SXSBlog I believe. Thanks for watching!

[@atlnative8222]

I own a can am and Polaris jet ski, both haul ass, can am was more expensive but Definitely work the extra dough, way more reliable... Polaris jet ski has left me stranded in the middle of lake Oconee a few times having to get towed back without a warning anything was wrong, then Polaris just stopped making them and wouldn’t stand behind the warranty, very disappointing,. Can am or Yamaha and Honda all day

[@TM-vs3nj]

[@URBANAMERICANTAC]

Great review but do me a favor. Don’t do that thing where the cameras rocks forward and backward while constantly tilting from the right to the left. Every damn car based show did that in the 90’s and you never could actually get a decent look at anything. Other than that, great job.

[@2511jeremy]

gopro on top of the helmet was kinda pointless couldnt see much but a good review

[@TFLoffroad]

I like to give the driver's perspective to the viewers. Although you're right, doesn't show much of the trail. But I was also riding the new 2019 Outlander (review to come) and on the ATV, the helmet-mounted GoPro offers epic footage. Thanks for watching!

[@2511jeremy]

@@TFLoffroad awesome can't wait :)

[@Travide]

You said lots of room in the sport becuz it's now a 60" but didn't they just make the a arms and the cab is exactly the same as the non sport.

No the sport has wider doors than the trail

So sick of Polaris and Can am prices. So overpriced for a vehicle test doesn’t have roof or windshield back window or side windows or heater or Ac and still wants over $20,000 or some over $38,000 USA and this 5:53 back plastic box for $499.00 USD insane screw them so greedy bastards

[@abouttime5000]

The prices are becoming ridiculous. $18k and up. Hundreds of dollars and more for add-ons. If a company came up with reasonably priced extras they would do well.
