SHARPEST HANDLING FEATURES
– Smart-Lok – Full lockable on-the-fly front differential with electronically controlled automatic modes for mud A new industry standard, the electronically controlled front lockable differential system with Smart-Lok technology ensures maximum traction and enhanced slow-speed maneuverability especially in challenging terrain. The Smart-Lok system, developed in conjunction with TEAM Industries, takes integrated intelligence to new heights and allows on-the-fly adjustments. The differential can lock and unlock on the fly no matter the speed, letting the driver focus on the trail.
Smart-Lok offers intelligent modes for different riding conditions. The brain controlling this industry leading technology is the Front Differential Module, gathering input from six key vehicle parameters. It analyzes front wheel speed from both sides, steering angle, accelerator pedal, gear position, engine torque and vehicle speed. Depending on the readings and the Smart-Lok setting, the actuator will instantaneously initiate the locking of the front differential. The result is simple steering output (same as being fully open), allowing the driver to accurately conquer varying obstacles while maintaining momentum.
The driver has the option to select between four modes: 2×4 / 4×4 fully locked / 4×4 MUD and 4×4 TRAIL. The preset MUD and TRAIL settings were strategically calibrated to supply a more customized feel to match to specific terrain, conditions and demands. Our engineering team further refined the system by including hill descent control, which includes an Electronic Braking System (EBS) at all four wheels, for improved control and traction.
– Optimal stability
The 102-in. (259.1 cm) wheelbase, which is a full 12-in. (30.5 cm) longer than the closest competitor, improves off-road capability by supplying more comfort and a confidence-inspiring ride at both high speeds and technical crawls. The elongated wheelbase, optimal weight distribution (44/56) and ample ground clearance [14-in. (35.6 cm) X3 X mr Turbo; 15-in. (38.1 cm) on the X3 X mr Turbo R] create optimum performance and stability in even the most appalling muck. The 8-in. (20.4 cm) broader stance on the 72-in. (182.9 cm) wide Maverick X3 X mr Turbo R also provides unmatched stability, when combined with its superior suspension, longer chassis and Smart-Lok technology system.
– Superior grip and control
The Can-Am Maverick X3 X mr Turbo R side-by-side vehicle wears 14-in. (35.6 cm) aluminum black beadlock wheels. The mechanical fastening beadlock system makes it nearly impossible for the tire bead to break loose from the wheel during heavy acceleration, cornering or when navigating a rock-strewn course. New, eight-ply 30-in. (76.2 cm) ITP Cryptid tires are purpose built to perform in muddy terrain. The tread pattern is designed to deliver unparalleled forward traction with a graduated lug height (up to 2 in. / 5.1 cm) inches at the tire’s shoulder. The resulting “paddle-like” shoulder design provides maximum side bite for climbing in and out of
the mud without compromising ride comfort on trails and hard pack. The grooved center lugs also channel away mud and create unmatched predictability in ruts.
– 4,500-lbs. (2,041 kg) winch with synthetic rope
Each Maverick X3 X mr Turbo packages include a 4,500-lbs. winch with a synthetic rope as mandatory equipment. The durable system, mounted near the front bumper of the vehicle, offers ample pulling strength. The synthetic rope is ideal because its both strong, lightweight, easy to clean and perfect in high-use situations.
– Extraordinary braking power
The Can-Am Maverick X3 vehicles all have the same braking package for superior stopping performance. The vehicle includes large, twin piston calipers and 262 mm discs up front, and twin piston calipers and 248 mm discs at the rear. Each has high-performance brake pads for superior control. The master cylinder is located inside the cockpit for better protection.
– Optimized ride control
The Can-Am Maverick X3 side-by-side vehicle has many driver-centric features. An updated high-torque, Tri-Mode DPS system (Min, Med, Max) is designed to optimize the desired amount of steering assist for trail riding and in extremely difficult terrain where management at slo speed is a necessity. All Maverick X3 models come with Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC), which provides smooth throttle delivery even if the drivers foot is bouncing in rough terrain. Both X3 X mr vehicles also have the race-inspired, quick-ratio steering wheel with just 1.5 turns lock-to-lock, for precise control.
CONVENIENCE AND MAINTENANCE
– Increased fuel capacity
Owners will focus more on driving and less on refueling with the Can-Am Maverick X3 familys standard 10.5-Gal. (40 L) fuel tank — the largest in the industry.
– Ample storage/cargo capacity
The Can-Am Maverick X3 side-by-side vehicle offers a total of 2.5-Gal. / 9.4 L of storage by way of a fixed glove box, center console and two cup holders, because added convenience improves the overall performance package. Externally, there is a rear rack with a 200-lbs. (91 kg) capacity.
