For 2017, Can-Am expanded its factory mud-ready side-by-side lineup with the four-seat Maverick MAX X mr 1000R. It joined the two-seat Maverick X mr 1000R, giving riders a choice between a shorter UTV and a longer machine with room for four. Both belonged to the original Maverick family and combined a 101-horsepower Rotax V-twin with 30-inch mud tires, raised air openings and a factory winch.
