What a review says
ATV Connection says the machine is powered by a 900cc, 135 hp Rotax ACE turbocharged, liquid-cooled triple, and explains that Can-Am's X3 line has around twenty models for 2024, from $21,999 up to $36,099, each highlighting different wheel and tire sizes, suspension travel and manufacturer (Fox or Showa), factory snorkeled engines and beefier A-arms.
It also describes the cabin as low to the ground and deep, with seats that tip your lower half upward at the front, which is a warning to watch for things falling out of pockets.
