The 50-inch published width is the Trail’s key distinction from the wider Sport and X3 configurations. Measure the finished machine if wheels or tires have been changed. A wider accessory installation can defeat the reason for choosing a narrow chassis.
The 700 and 1000 names refer to different Trail engine versions. Keep the engine and model year attached to a power figure when comparing a used Trail with the listed 650cc single-cylinder configuration.

2027 Can-Am Maverick Trail specifications and price
UTV Guide says the 700 makes sense for riders focused on casual trail exploration, moderate speeds and lower initial cost, and that the Maverick Trail is best for riders who need a true 50-inch UTV but prioritize comfort, stability and longer trail rides over maximum maneuverability in extremely tight terrain.
The write-up says the Trail successfully combines a true 50-inch width with the comfort and handling character of a larger recreational UTV, and cautions riders to confirm local trail rules and measure any modified vehicle, because aftermarket wheels, tires and suspension parts can increase its actual width. A specifications review says the suspension is built for challenging terrain and that the seating and ergonomics are made for long rides.
Can-Am lists a double A-arm front with sway bar and 10 in of travel, a TTA rear with an external sway bar and 10.5 in, and Carlisle ACT 26 x 8/9 x 12 tires.

It weighs an estimated 1,365 lb dry, carries 300 lb in the bed and tows 1,500 lb.
Trail against sport and utility rivals

The Sport X is the choice for speed on wide ones.
