2018 Can-Am® Maverick™ X3 MAX TURBO R

2018 Can-Am® Maverick™ X3 MAX TURBO R

It's time to put the "competition" in quotes: the X3 MAX Turbo R is a factory-fresh side-by-side vehicle with the performance and control to leave rivals in the dust: Turbocharged Rotax engine, and 20-inches of suspension travel will do that.

• Industry leading 172 hp turbocharged and intercooled Rotax® ACE engine

Meet the king of side-by-side engines, the precision-engineered, industry-leading triple-cylinder Rotax ACE engine. Its 172 horsepower at 7,250 RPM and 124 lb-ft of torque at 6,500 RPM give searing speed, no matter the terrain. Tell your friends: 0-60 MPH in just 4.4 seconds*.

• Advanced airflow dynamics

With an intake and exhaust tuned to maximise power, efficiency, and throttle response, the Can-Am Maverick X3 MAX will never be starved for performance. Three oversized, out-of-the-way intakes feed the engine and the CVT with clean air and keep temperatures low, with a sport exhaust out back to let the Rotax ACE engine roar.

• Wide, strong, lightweight chassis

Our engineers are rightfully proud that the Maverick X3 MAX features an ultralight, rigid chassis made of state-of-the-art Dual-Phase 980 steel. Not only is it strong enough to allow the suspension to do its magic, it’s the most efficient way to both harness 172 horsepower and keep your passengers on lock.

• QRS-X transmission

A compact, high-performance QRS-X CVT has been calibrated to work with the turbo to virtually eliminate lag, without shifting or torque interruption to slow you down. Its large drive—a long, wide, and thick belt—is our most robust three-roller pulley design yet.

• TTX suspension with industry-leading travel

Can-Am's four-link TTX suspension with 20-in of travel features a trophy truck-like trailing arm and three links dedicated to controlling camber while delivering optimal geometry at all times, even during extended wheel travel. The result? Unparalleled power transfer to wheels, virtually no bump steer, precise steering response, more confidence at higher speeds—and four huge grins.

• Sharpest handling features

With a chassis built to conquer any terrain—and a wheelbase 15% longer than the Polaris RZR XP4—the Maverick X3 MAX is not only at home in rough terrain but comes alive with confidence at high speeds. From its arched double tubular A-Arm and sway bar up front to its race-inspired quick-ratio D-shaped steering wheel, Tri-Mode DPS system, and Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC), it’s handling you should experience for yourself.

• The only Ergo-Lok cockpit built for four

With 18% more seat pitch for rear passengers than the Polaris RZR XP4, plus fore, aft, and height adjustments, anyone in the second row will find the perfect perch for what’s about to unfold. There’s well-placed foot rests to grab handles to its tilt and race-inspired steering wheel, and we’ve even fitted integrated wiring and offer a wide range of factory interior accessories. Better give it a name—this Maverick will be around for a long time.

• Low Seats, Bold Stance

Its low floor with adult-sized room for both rows ensures everyone feels safely connected to the vehicle’s every move. Its high and dominant posture is enhanced with race car-inspired one-piece molded seats with ideal support, weight distribution, and 4-way adjustablility for all four seats.
