2019 Can-Am Maverick Sport: Watch this before you buy 

Finally! I was waiting for someone to notice the PTH.

How is the power on your machine, does the 100hp seem enough?

@@atlnative8222 honestly yes for my type of driving. It's a trail/sport machine. If you want to play in open areas/dune or track buy an X3. If you trail and field ride this machine is awesome. I can keep up and even push 1000cc quads in the trails. Love it. We always want more power but I don't need it. Can't use it all in the trails.

Thanks man!

Yup. The only 2 lines they make that don't have the Tri-Mode DPS are the new V-Twin Mavericks and the Defender and fittingly, they happen to use the same power plant/trans.

I would love to hit up Manitoba trails one day! Will certainly reach out. Thanks! - Stephen

Tons of used ATVs and SxS for sale for around half the new price if you look around. I already have a Can Am Commander 1000 XT but have considered buying another besides the ATVs I also already own. Maybe a 4 seater and I found locally a used 2016 Kawasaki Teryx 4 the model with EPS and Fox shocks for $8500, that would be like $16k new I would imagine. If you just want a SxS though there are tons of deals. So many RZR for sale around here especially 800 models starting at $5500. It might be 4-5 years old with 1000-2000 miles but it will still give you a thrill and be something to go riding with.

in the commander as well !

Hey Ben. Thanks for watching. The Can-Am definitely takes the win in the power department, especially the 1000R. But even the non-R models feel more powerful than the X2 and easier to drive with the throttle i.e. break it loose. The Can-Am also has a much longer wheelbase, allowing to "float" a little nicer down the trail than the X2. On the plus side for the Yamaha, the steering is some of the best in the segment in my opinion. Nicely weighted, super direct and great on-center feel. In comparison, the Can-Am steering feels light and overboosted. X2 feels compact and nimble as well, where the Can-Am feels just a little big thanks to its length. And the Yamaha gives you a functional dump bed. If you're looking for straight up high-speed thrills, the Can-Am will deliver more of that. It's more raucous and has a little more hooligan spirit baked in. The X2 comes off feeling more subdued overall, though for tight twisty trails where you can't really use the power anyways, the Yamaha feel tight and nimble. It's a tough call! I can't pick a machine outright, but hopefully this helps.

Thanks. I guess my biggest dilemma is the the low top speed of the wolverine vs the long wheelbase of the maverick in tight trails. If I win the lotto I'll buy both. Cheers.

I noticed after two years of moderate driving a well taken care of example is nearly 60% of MSRP (or less). I've seen 2016 Mavericks for well under $11k and only averaging around 500 miles. Of course this is the non-turbo model.

You can get a hell of a deal on a couple year old model. There are tons of SxS and ATVs listed for sale here, and many seem to sit for sale for a while. Many I have noticed prices dropping too. I already have a Commander XT 1000 but have considered buying another and I have kinda thought a 4 seater might be nice to have as well. Well I found a 2016 Teryx4 the higher end model with eps and Fox shocks think they call it the LE model and it has 400 miles and they only want $8500 for it. There is a 2015 800 Commander XT for $7500, well 2 of them at that price but one is a 1000 both are yellow though and the 1000 has Pro Armor doors, bead lock rims, full windshield, some other aftermarket accessories. There is a few WIldcats pretty cheap too. One is a Walker Evans edition that is white and orange for $7500 its a 2013 I think though but it looks brand new with well under 1k miles and of course Walker Evans shocks. There is a Yamaha XYZ for $11,500 too that has all kinds of aftermarket stuff on it too. Bunch of 800 RZR starting at $5500. Quite a few Mavericks too. I called on one but it was just sold. It was only an 2014 but it was the X-RS DPS model and it had I think a Trinity exhaust, Pro Armor doors and other aftermarket parts with like 2k miles and they only wanted $8k for it. I haven't yet seen a used X3 though or a RZR turbo used for sale, probably will soon enough though. There was an Artic Cat ATV I wish I bought last Dec. I can't think of the model but its the stripped down 700 cc model that is only like $5999 new that had 10 miles on it 2017. Somebody bought it to haul their race car around the pits at the race track couple miles from my parents house. They had it listed for $4500 then a couple weeks later for $4k. For that cheap would have been nice to have a utility quad besides the King Quad I already have. Would love a Scrambler or Renegade too and lots of them for sale. I have found a couple 850 Scramblers for $7000 or so which probably isn't that great for machines that are 3-4 years old, seen some better deals on Renegades though.

The Yamaha YXZ and the Wolverine appear to drop value quickly. Not sure why. I have seen a couple YXZ for less than $11k with low miles and lots of aftermarket goodies. I was looking at a Wolverine for less than $8k used with only 250 miles, windshield, new tires, winch, and a warranty till this December.

All the time actually. A co-worker has a 800 and he said it can't go riding without something breaking on it. We're not talking about aggressive riding. A local Honda dealer sells Can-Am as well. They always say "You want power and speed go Can-Am, but you want reliability then go Honda or Yamaha." HE did state Can- Am pays the bills with the repair shop. Personally, I would go Can-Am because they ride nicer, have more power, speed, and the engines are top notch. I figure once you work through the issues it will be a great unit for many years.

Mike M fo sho, who is buying these

Put a bumper on. CanAm Trail is longer than the other Trail units. With no aftermarket bumpers it barley fits in a 10' Toy Hauler garage. I have over 2000 miles no problems with the back end and I drive it like I stole it.

Pay off your car or truck and then start paying off your sxs at the same price per month and it will be paid off quick and easy

I believe the Defender has it as well. Any others? I should have just referenced the Maverick models, not the entire side-by-side lineup. - Stephen

Ya the original maverick, the x3 and the commanders all have tri-mode.

I have the 1000r and no heat at all. my father in law has a defender and its like sitting on a frying pan.

Naw, it's all TFLOffroad footage! Nick and I were working together. He drove, I shot, then we shared the footage. So some of it ended up on SXSBlog I believe. Thanks for watching!

No the sport has wider doors than the trail

p-nut butter not really we all bust are behinds for our money might as well enjoy it hope you get what you want and have fun with it

I like to give the driver's perspective to the viewers. Although you're right, doesn't show much of the trail. But I was also riding the new 2019 Outlander (review to come) and on the ATV, the helmet-mounted GoPro offers epic footage. Thanks for watching!

@@TFLoffroad awesome can't wait :)
