At the top of the food chain is the Maverick X3 X rs

The Maverick X3 X rs’s 102-inch (259.1 cm) wheelbase, which is a full 12 inches (30.5 cm) longer than the Polaris RZR XP Turbo, improves off-road capability by supplying more comfort and a confidence-inspiring ride at higher speeds. The elongated wheelbase, optimal weight distribution (44/56) and ample ground clearance (15-inch (38.1 cm) on the X3 X rs) translates to optimum performance and stability in even the most challenging terrain. The 8-inch (20.4 cm) broader stance on the 72-inch (182.9 cm) wide Maverick X3 X rs Turbo R also provides favorable stability, when combined with its superior shocks and longer chassis.
