Can-Am BRP 2017 Maverick X3 MAX

Can-Am’s Maverick Gets Two More Seats

Can-Am unveiled its new four-person flagship Maverick X3 MAX on February 15, 2017 in Reno, Nevada.

“The 2017 Can-Am Maverick X3 MAX side-by-side vehicle builds upon the industry-altering advancements achieved with the two-seat Maverick X3 unveiled last year by delivering new levels of performance, handling and passenger comfort to the four-seat segment of the market,” explained Anne-Marie LaBerge, senior vice president, Global Brands, Marketing and Communications at BRP. “It positions Can-Am to meet market demands for a clear leader in the four-person sport segment and adheres to our forward-thinking approach when it comes to innovation, design and refining the consumer experience.”

The Maverick X3 MAX vehicle is based on the two-seater Maverick X3. All four seats in the Maverick X3 MAX vehicle are on the same level, giving every passenger a similar experience while seated low in the cockpit. The seats are four-way adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of passengers, and are designed to be roomy, ergonomic and comfortable.

The new four-seater has a trophy-truck-inspired four-link TTX rear suspension and recalibrated, premium FOX shocks supplying 22” (55.9 cm) of rear travel (Maverick X3 MAX X rs). Front arched A-arms provide up to 14” (35.6. cm) of ground clearance, while a full HMW (high-molecular weight) skid plate protects the underside of the vehicle. A high-rigidity chassis, made from fully welded DP980 steel, is designed for precise handling and strength.

It also has a quick-ratio steering system, next-generation Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering, selectable driving modes and intelligent throttle control (iTC). The Can-Am Maverick X3 MAX is powered by a 154-HP turbocharged and intercooled inline triple-cylinder Rotax ACE engine.

The Can-Am Maverick X3 MAX family will be offered in three versions:

Maverick X3 MAX

Maverick X3 MAX X DS

Maverick X3 MAX X RS

The Main Differences of Three?

The Maverick X3 MAX and Maverick X3 MAX X DS vehicles are 64” (162.5 cm) wide, while the 72” (182.9 cm) wide Maverick X3 MAX X RS package comes in two color options, as well as 22” (55.9 cm) of suspension travel coupled with its fully-adjustable FOX 3.0 Podium RC2 bypass shocks.
