How about your guys feedback on anyone who's driven the maverick at a demo. I wanna hear what you guys think. I saw it at the SSSS and fell in love. So lets hear it! Lol
Maverick feedback....
- Thread starter desertwheeler
- Start date
No joke, the Maverick is awesome, and is currently the best performing, fastest machine on the market right now. Go test one to see for your self. Can am stepped up to build this new machine But be careful-- you will fall in love and buy one if you demo it.......
I am gonna buy a utv the beginning of the year and as of now it's gonna be a maverick, unless Polaris impresses me more with their new model. Thanks for the feed back!
The only thing that gets me is tat they are still almost a year out on the four seater. Looks cool, but loooong!
So I saw that can am's website now says it has a visco lok QE in the specifications. Can anyone verify if its a typo or are they gonna add it to the production models?
That would be great news and a very smart move on their part. Seems to be the biggest complaint so far. Few of my XP and XP4 owning friends drove them at the demos and said they won't be switching any time soon. Said it felt squirly, and top heavy with a lot of body roll. I still want to drive it.
Exactly what I thought...clutch isn't there yet. I drove the Maverick & XP the same day on the same course and preferred the XP.
I drove one in Glamis this past weekend and loved the power for sliding around and hitting lips. But the damn power is cut off every time the rear wheels leave the ground. Someone needs to make an override for the stupid drive by wire.
I hit the woops at 45mph no problem at all.
Then I drove the wildcat, what a disappointment.

I did a demo ride this weekend in Glamis. My impressions are it has a ton of power and is fun to drive. The ergonomics are the best of any utv. I can see where an xp owner will fell they are sitting up high, but for me it was fine. If you are coming from a Rhino or Teyrx the seat height will feel lower.
The suspension at slow speeds is okay. Its not terrible, but the rear was a little bouncy. It shines once you get up to 40+ mph. We hit the whoops at over 50 and it felt very stable and smooth. We hit a 4 foot drop at over 40 and the suspension felt smooth. Did not bottom out.
I did not notice any crazy body roll. It felt very stable to me.
I still think the Wildcat is top dog in suspension.
Throttle response was better than I expected. Much better than the Commander. A clutch mod and this thing will be a rocket ship.
The 4wd system allows you to get sideways in the turns. Made it interesting hitting the small dunes.
I really liked it and would consider purchasing one, if I did not need a 4 seater.

Both my friends that test drove it were on the dirt (shasta and prairie city) so it probably handles very differently on the sand.
loved it... put a deposit down... but I have nothing to compare it to...
