New Maverick X3

[N-Trouble]

Who's been following the teaser videos/pics Can-am has been releasing of the new X3? Will be a rear engine with trailing arm setup. Motor/trans is still TBD. Official unveil will be on 8/16.

Why do they use the verb "ride"? It's a little car so wouldn't DRIVE be appropriate.

At least they haven't called it a bike...

Yep, and you can actually use it in more places than JUST the dunes...:p

I use my rail in more places than the dunes.....
I take my kids to school in it.
I've gotten a polar pop with it.
I've taken it to the SSSS.
I've taken it to car shows...... 🙂

Wasnt referring to "street" use.

Looks like a RZR turbo killer at first glance. Polaris needs the competition. This caliber of sport SxS will improve the SxS market.

24" travel with 3.0 bypass Fox shocks is into sand car suspension territory no doubt. 15" ground clearance,,, stock 67" high, 72" wide,Low and wide, bolt on some paddles and rims, 80" wide, nice...!!!
Being a turbo, a simple reflash, maybe a slip on to dump the cat, should bump it up to 200hp on 93 octane, more on race fuel. 88mph stock, Not bad for a 1500lb machine.

Bombardier, Can Am, ski doo, sea doo, whatever, is a good sport/off road vehicle company that makes excellent products. First year out new designs, all manufactures can have unforeseen problems. I tend to stay away the first year and look for all the improvements come second year out.

Nice machine, enjoy it. let us know when you get it,,, and how it feels to beat down most sand cars...

I agree....Till ya get STICKER SHOCK!!!! It's only money and payments, rhino isn't anything like a Mav, but it still gets us to the next stop, just last. 🙂

Two X3's entered the longest offroad race in North America (Vegas ro Reno). The S3 car was out on day1 after crashing into the back of a RZR stuck in thick dust. The other Murray X3 car finished the race in the last hour and is in the running to win the unlimited UTV class. Impressive...

Im not a first year guy either but BRP has been good to me over the years between ATV and watercraft. Im in the market for a sport SxS and this looks like the best thing going right now. Cant even buy a Turbo RZR right now. Time will tell of course but on paper it looks like Can-Am knocked this one out of the park.
