Why the Maverick Sport XRC is Great... and Why it's Not.

[@jengr02]

I’m with ya. Been a great buggy. I love mine. I know it isn’t gonna rip up the dunes but it is highly capable on the rocks and trails and so easy to make it unique and stand apart from all those X3 and Rzrs.

[@debbicompel-mavericklife4330]

Nice video. I enjoy your channel. One thing we have to consider is manufacturers have to sell this vehicle all over the world so it’s set up for typical use- trail use. It’s probably more than adequate for that purpose. For us in southern Utah- even what we consider normal or easy riding can be pretty extreme in comparison. We also have so much diversity that it’s hard to set up a vehicle perfectly for all conditions we encounter on a single ride. Especially since it’s subjective to each driver. Good thing we can change the things we need to make the ride our own. Can am makes great machines.

[@idahoblessing]

Your right on point. We've got 2000 miles after 10 months and after having Shock Therapy up grade on the shocks we love ours.

[@corylee2261]

Springs help?

[@idahoblessing]

@@corylee2261 Yes. I did the dual rate springs first and that was a night and day improvement in the ride. I was on the fence about having the internal work done but we're glad we did that also. It took the ride to a new level. More controlled and plush in the wash chop and short dips in the trials.

I put the trunk kit on mine so much nicer for storage,agreed on the noise earplugs or earbuds for me,mines a xxc but no complaints about the ride its pretty gushy set on 1,great video they are a awsome little machine

Thanks for the honest review of the MAVERICK SPORT XRC. I have the 2019 version,which is a different color, and I love mine. I have recently installed the "Shock Therapy" Duel rate sprongs, but haven;t had the opportunity to take it out yet with the new springs. Thanks again for the review!

[@idahoblessing]

You'll be happy camper👍

@@idahoblessing Thanks fro the reply.

Good points .. I have nearly 1k miles on my xrc and my biggest complaint is the engine noise, it is loud .. I think the size of the machine is very deceptive, it is actually bigger dimensionally than a rzr 1k and the same wheelbase as a rzr turbo s, the cab layout is just marginally smaller it seems like .. the suspension tuning is fine for the general trail rider but for those doing more extreme riding it needs a some springs and valving .. overall I think it’s a good machine which is very versatile, definitely a jack of all trades master of none

[@idahoblessing]

They ride like a buckboard wagon stock. Having the machine ride to it's potential for any ridding style is why one needs to improve the supension.

[@andyfisher1136]

I have heard to put a heavy moving blanket on the firewall from a few people and they say it is a huge difference with noise. it is on my list of things to try on my Trail

[@mathieugrenier5811]

I like the format of this video, with the audio over video. Awesome SXS btw

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@ScaleRacingChannel]

I agree with everything you have said. You can only come up with these opinions by getting out and riding both your own machine and others as well. The sway bar tuning on the XRC and XMR machines are totally off. Same bars as the skinny Trail model and they don't translate well to these wider units. Should have come from the factory with LED headlights, bead lock wheels, and a heavier duty battery (as well as better springs). Don't let my complaints steer you wrong though. I love this SXS, it does everything well and has been trouble free for me so far.

[@timjohnson9406]

Great review thanks. I'm getting a new something this year, I have a xxc maverick now. But looking at all options.

[@redripper6944]

You can buy lots of extra storage options and put some sound deadening on the back panel to knock the noise down

[@DUNEATV]

I agree about the size of the rig...love that about it. Did you see the one riding with TCB Offroad?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Yeah I did go watch that video after you mentioned it.

[@DUNEATV]

@@DerangedOffRoad It did really good I thought

[@auroralance8546]

It'sin my top 3 machines to look at, but after watching your shows, I'm leaning more to the KRX. Nice review. The size is a bonus though.

[@ceethelight1239]

Whats did it cost you to get shocks redone thanks.

[@boblaws9851]

Nice review. Hard to find any argument with any of your pros and cons. Size and suspension were the two big selling points for me with the KRX. Hard to believe there is only a 9" difference in their wheelbase. You say there is no perfect machine, but Garrett might disagree.....LOL

[@OdysseyOffroad]

I would agree with all of that. Great little machine for sure. How did the rockzillas do in sand and snow?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Tires actually hooked up good out there in the snowy sand.

[@OdysseyOffroad]

@@DerangedOffRoad Good to hear. You only ever see people running them on rocks im curious to see how they work out in other terrain.

[@truckermoore65]

Any noise on your axles when you turn sharp left and right?

[@DerangedOffRoad]

No I haven’t experienced this. I know other’s have though

[@idahoblessing]

@@DerangedOffRoad Our drivetrain rattles also, but so did the Commander we had. We had 5000 miles on it without a problem.

[@fj400007]

Definitely not agreeing on the excessive noise level inside the cab on our '22 anyway. My wife and I actually bought the Maverick 1000 because it was much quieter and comfortable compared to others. The only buggy where we can have a normal conversation with regular voice level. We're piling hundreds of kms on weekends and the seating position / comfort level is second to none in that department.

[@jayneiz4225]

Yeah I know I have a maveric x3 xds and storage in that thing is almost none and it is a big machine

[@corylee2261]

After I've had mine a couple years there are definitely misses on a 20k dollar machine...beadlock wheels...different tail lights than a defender...led headlights...push button start...noisy and hot af on the inside..bad ride quality...can am needs a system like ride command as well.

[@DerangedOffRoad]

Definitely some room for improvement..... or room to come down on msrp.

[@corylee2261]

@@DerangedOffRoad absolutely 💯

[@idahoblessing]

@@corylee2261 We've found ours is hot inside if I put the full windshield on. With a half windshield and rear window it's comfortable under 85 degrees.

Go around obstacles? I drive for three hours to get to obstacles!

You’re taking it too literally
