[@ruyguy8888]

Man.. i REALLY appreciate the no BS review on the rig. I was low-key rooting for Matt to get one because I also think it suits his driving style as well. Super pumped on a recovery rig build ! Max tire size, Front/Rear Winch, Spare tire mount, Matt's famous Pack-out setup, on-board air compressor with lightweight air-bag jack, kinetic ropes and soft shackles... wicked setup. With the current rig, you guys determined that it's a momentum car... so make it into a better momentum car. It's not out of your wheelhouse to make it to races like KOH or Best in the Desert, UTV Legends, etc... That car is setup to run fast and straight right out of the box. You guys got to experience Baja a few times too. Suspension, ECU Tune, bigger turbo?, better tire setup. "Make it Fast-make it last"

First thing think to do is to powdercoat the knuckles black. They look 10x better and not as noticeable. And build it into a race car, and add some power to it. I feel it will grow on you after time, and learn the suspension settings and shifting with the tap shift

This was a great video I haven’t seen anyone actually pick apart this machine and point out all of its flaws which seems to be quite a bit

[@PistonheadAsh]

Interested to see it on Michigan trails, not in Sport+. Cant believe everyone said its really choppy when they all instantly got in and set suspension full hard...

[@SXSBlog]

Was just as choppy in comfort

[@BlueSharkRides]

Got to see the chopped in half one at UTV Invasion at St Anthony's this year. Switching to silicone charge pipes, DCT, anti-lag, so many amazing features on this new car. If Polaris doesn't switch over to a DCT in the near future, I may be switching to the dark side. That DCT is the #1 selling point in my book to never deal with belt issues. Glad you guys reviewed it, nobody has talked about bottoming out yet and that did not seem like a big enough whoop to really slam the rear like that especially on a smart shock model. It seems like a hell of a car but I'm glad you pointed out that it's still not a perfect car. Wonder if it's the added weight of the DCT on the back? Also my first time seeing tire rub in a review like that as well. Even if it's lower PSI on the tire you shouldn't have to be restricted in tire pressure because more than not you need to air down the tires on these cars for ride quality and grip. I'm excited to see what aftermarket companies do with the suspension design to allow for wider paddles. Tooele Valley Motorsports here in Utah is running a set of skinny skat traks currently so paddles are doable on the car but you aren't going to get some wide STU's on there without spacers or huge offsets.

I honestly think yall need to try the different settings for suspension. If it is overly stiff in some of that stuff then it probably won't react how you think it should.

[@mattmoose1984]

I’m wondering the same thing. If it was super stiff why not try a different suspension setting?

[@vandersnickmcduffle7333]

@@mattmoose1984 - Smart shocks are a unique creature. I have them on my X3. I will never go back to regular shocks They are SO GOOD. That said, no-one has figured out how to program/valve them in a way where you get the plush-ness of comfort mode, with the bottom out resistance of sport+. So when I'm at the dunes, I'm in sport+ unless I'm in the slow choppy stuff. I am NOT a polaris fan, but I wish the X3 had the "oh shit" button like the polaris. That way I could ride around in comfort or sport and hit the button every time I saw something big coming.

The thing that I really like about this machine It stays up with the other sxs with paddles. And this only has stock dirt tires. It's like you really don't need paddles for this. Which is a money saver. I watched the video we've Travis pastrona ripped this in the dunes and it was amazing. And I can't remember the racers name but this video where they let this machine out to see us just amazing.. The really huge thing about this machine is just how planted it is to the ground. The stability is awesome. I have seen so many other sxs roll over from goofy stuff that it should not of been a roll over. I'm not saying it can't roll over anything can happen..

I was at a shop picking up my car after getting repairs done from damage resulting from a roll and I brought up the Maverick R. Even though they were a Polaris shop (I have a Turbo S) they said Can Am invited them to an event to test drive the Maverick R and the Gentleman said it had no power coming out of turns, it felt like it was still deciding which gear it wanted be in to accelerate out of the turn. I thought he was maybe a little biased because he was a Polaris shop but hearing what y'all said is food for thought. I want to buy a 2 seater to build for the 2025 season and was considering the Maverick R.
