Can-Am’s flagship performance UTV combines a 240-horsepower turbocharged Rotax engine with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission and a wide, long-travel chassis.
The turbocharged Maverick X3 helped establish Can-Am as a dominant force in dunes, desert racing and high-performance recreational riding. It remains the more traditional CVT-equipped alternative to the Maverick R.
The Maverick Sport family balances trail-friendly dimensions with useful cargo capacity, strong Rotax power and more suspension capability than a traditional recreation-utility UTV.
At 50 inches wide, the Maverick Trail is designed for width-restricted trails while retaining a stable, long-wheelbase layout and a comfortable cockpit.
The Commander combines recreation-oriented performance with a practical dumping cargo bed. It occupies the space between Can-Am’s dedicated Maverick sport machines and its work-focused Defender models.
The Defender is Can-Am’s work-focused UTV family, with configurations for ranching, hunting, commercial use, trail riding, six-passenger transportation and factory-enclosed, climate-controlled operation.
