The Can-Am Maverick R is Can-Am's flagship sport side-by-side: a 240 hp turbocharged 999cc triple with a 7-speed Rotax dual-clutch transmission, 25 in of suspension travel and 17 in of ground clearance. It seats two, has a 13.2 gal tank and a 110 in wheelbase, and Can-Am lists it at $39,699; 2027 Can-Am Maverick R specifications and price.
Car and Driver says the 240 horsepower makes it one of the most power-dense engines you can buy off a showroom floor, that the high-speed off-road capability starts with beefy suspension arms and links, and that where belt-driven CVTs are the norm in side-by-sides, the Maverick R shifts gears through a seven-speed dual-clutch transaxle.
UTV On Demand says the top end mates to a dual-range 7-speed transmission for less maintenance and power loss than a belt-driven CVT, that the suspension is well matched to the engine for rough, whooped-out, high-speed driving, and that the engine is a brand-new 240 hp turbocharged 999T inline triple from Rotax with four valves and DOHC per cylinder.
Can-Am lists forged aluminum tall-knuckle double A-arms in front and a 4-link trailing-arm rear, each with 25 in of travel, a 32 x 10 x 16 in tire and a Gen 2 Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering system. The engine has a liquid-cooled design with an integrated intercooler.
The machine weighs an estimated 2,372 lb dry, which is 754 lb more than the Maverick X3 DS Turbo. Its wheelbase is 110 in against 102 in for the X3.
