Thanks for watching!

[@aceimperial8298]

Just when you thought that BMW superbikes had stupid amounts of letters at the end Can-Am comes in and takes the top spot lol

[@ElliWoelfin]

Counterpoint, CBR 1000 RR-R SB

[@Tr3ntsGames]

This naming scheme is not okay😂

[@NoHope_]

"bmw s1000rr" where are all the stupid letters? think youre thinking of the honda cbr 1000 RR-R SP Fireblade.

[@PaulsPlace]

The B-Roll was incredible, I can’t believe how good that thing sounds. These side by sides have come a long way since I started riding as a kid.

[@LYNDONGOLDEN]

I was laying in bed just about to fall asleep when I came across this video. Watching this high energy action… No way I can sleep now… I'm going to be thrashing and dreaming about muddy, gritty, bouncy offloading. This is an incredible video!

[@CarsWithFrank]

Same 😂

[@DailyMotor]

The definition of "full send"

[@carsdailyca]

This is something I never knew I wanted until now. This thing is awesome!

[@karlembeast]

Simply amazing. Did not expect this suspension to absorb all these bumps effortlessly. Would be awesome to see you review the Baja 1000 trophy truck.

[@smellylettuce]

I have a new aspiration now. That thing is rad!

[@paultruesdale7680]

Definitely makes you a hero. Reminds me of why I like off-road. Definitely want it! Superb off road park, can you test off road vehicles there T. 👍

[@MattN03]

Cool to see a sxs review Topher! I have a Kawasaki KRX that i enjoy the great outdoors in! I'd highly recommend a front windshield and fender flares! Those and skidplates were my first mods.

[@dqitwithbrad]

Id love to have one of these, I would be ripping it all day on the weekends going crazy!

[@SnubBarracuda]

Man that thing is such a capable little machine! What an amazing toy. But at 30k+ it's certainly not a toy for the youngsters. But hey, if you have it, what a great way to enjoy it. Especially if you have an incredible playground like that one!

[@spathotan]

This thing is bonkers I love it

[@jameswilliams-rc9hj]

I just got a 23 ds turbo and it’s Insane how fast it is I couldn’t imagine another 65 hp.

[@robertrishel3685]

It’s like a 2/3 scale WRC car in gravel spec🤯. I’m pretty sure I want one of these!!!

[@zbaker0617]

This is so frickin cool i gotta rent one

[@aztrose1023]

you have to try one of these on the dunes!

[@DannyWhan00]

ouu you should do these more

[@user-kd1yf8ji2r]

I didn't need to step any further, let go of the steel because I liked the video 

[@TTTDEV]

def buying one.

[@sebastianquezada7868]

recommend that you lower the suspension a little, especially for flat terrain as you shown in the video.

[@pr33tu_]

Nice vehicle, when is highway MPG test coming? I was going to purchase rav4 hybrid but now I am having second thoughts

[@tt-nm4yj]

This gets maybe 15mpg

[@rubenII]

This vehicle isn't legal in all 50 states btw, assuming you're in the U.S.

[@thatoff-roaddude9515]

I love the turbo rr looks but the pro xp feel a bit better for me I think it’s because I can’t really see over the hood still 1 bad ass and very fast machine 🤙🏽

[@nombre6886]

Aaaahh hell nah now I need one

[@raven5.0]

This thing with a H pattern manual or a sequential would be dope.

[@kdubb81]

That looks like lots of fun but pretty easy to get lost out there.

[@ianstropus]

Often drive the X3 XRS max version and atleast half of driving time is spent at or near steering lock or deep in the suspension travel at near triple digit speeds. Nothing comes close to the amount of fun I have in that thing versus most other motorsports.

[@GGori_99]

Will they make the electric too ???? That will be sick

[@legacyautofocus]

Get an external mic. That would be a better commentary video for the next offroad outing👍

[@TurboRC101]

Off-road is something else at speed with a nimble chassis

[@86tougerunner]

This is so cool

[@ScotianOff-Road]

Different model

[@dominiclallande]

Thanks for trying with the narration haha

[@TheTopher]

😂

[@jsweizston5410]

Def need a windshield with that, no fun with dust when your buddy is in front of you.

[@Waltzyy]

Honestly thought you were driving a wrecked car in the thumbnail lol

[@Paco_Gaepedores]

This is literally that new vehicle from BeamNG ❤

[@csweet4810]

What’s the life expectancy of a rig like this. Especially being driven like that

[@AjWavvyFrFr]

#topherbegoated

[@tevix_1109]

How to drift? Only 2x4?

[@ElliWoelfin]

I'm way too much of a baby about dirt, just looking at everything and the interior is bothering me so much

[@DMann51]

The beauty of that is the entirety of the interior can be gently power washed.

[@MAGApepe]

32k omg,,, thats crazy

[@jaybou007]

Brought to you by Québec engineers, avec amour. You’re welcome. 😊

[@ShowMeWhatINeedToKnow]

Are these road legal? I think I saw one of these on the road the other day.

[@turtle4lif367]

I’m not sure in other places but in rural Wisconsin towns you can drive these on a lot of roads, they’re “atv routes”

[@MattN03]

It depends if your state allows them to be registered and plated. Some states have ATV "friendly" routes that are typically associated with a nearby trail system and your allowed to ride that particular route only.

[@AzereusMantor]

All i see is this type of vehicules rescued in Matts recovery youtube channel.. and they sell it as an all terrain vehicle.

[@88SILVERADO1]

Is registration and insurance expensive on these?

[@DMann51]

They are not registered like cars, although you can alter them to become road legal. Insurance can be pretty affordable, I have the same machine and is $275 a year on my home insurance.

[@EndeavorsDnB]

Is the speed readout in mph or kmh?

[@EndeavorsDnB]

I really need to get 1 of these.

[@guestthere6260]

To the people who might want to know this park is called "the mounds"

[@IceKing777Fan]

What the top speed with horsepower?

[@yooooo6296]

Probably only 80mph. I imagine the gear ratios are pretty short

[@DMann51]

The computer will top it out at 85. There are guys with tunes on these and they can push 100mph

[@ketankulkarni7938]

What's the benefit of this thing?

[@Mikk95]

Now all I need is $32,000 😂

[@johnnybravo5044]

From the inside, it looks like been in a crash.

[@mickeynissan9887]

I think Can Am can easily fit at least five more letters to it's next model. "Can Am Macerick X3 X RS Turbo RR B.I.N.G.O" anyone?

[@denizdogan5087]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@spencernorris5938]

sitting here wondering if i could throw a turbo in a ford ranger and buy a suspension kit for $32,000

[@hondarider100r]

i would not pay 32k for that lol

[@user-kd9vs5dz2r]

İn germany 50k euro 😢

[@kirrasbankz]

Why? All units are 20k+ easy if you make good money 👏🏽🤘🏽

[@lanstek3039]

Ok?

[@GeilsonAngelo]

in Brazil it is worth 190 thousand

[@theyluvkarson1]

w

[@a.n.3143]

я на жиге там проеду лол

[@legacyautofocus]

Only if it was a dct

[@MattN03]

CanAm just introduced the Maverick R that has a DCT.

[@MattN03]

​@@Brian_Eugene_LeeGoogle it. The new Maverick R has a DCT

[@cookster2001]

xxrs fr eetr turbo😭😂

[@boots_n_coots]

Crikey, I think I’m gonna puke 🤢 😂

[@schultzpeakranch5501]

Sorry but these are not even close to as fast as the maverick r there is several time it would have been doing 100 mph on this same track yes these are bad but still won’t touch the R

[@raphaeldelaghetto5343]

Cvt.......ughhhhh talk about your coulda, woulda , shoulda.. am I right? What I am saying is. Why no manual? why No sequential gearbox? Why have you built a nissan murano with no windshield? Why bother? Why do I even care? Questions to answers that make my mother question her decision to move me out the city and into the burbs. And for those of you who are sayn you wouldn't pay 32k for this glorified go cart, that is because you simply do not as it turns out have the 32k layn around to blow on a gaint go cart. We are after all living in a pay to play world. If you Wana play, you gotta pay.

[@donteadoss]

Wow, that b* can MOVE move 🔥 - dope handling, too 🫡
