Can-Am Unleashes 240-Horsepower Maverick: A Beast on Wheels
Can-Am, known for its powerful and adrenaline-pumping off-road vehicles, has once again raised the bar with its latest creation – the 2024 Maverick. This side-by-side machine is not your average off-roader; it boasts an astonishing 240 horsepower from its 999cc turbocharged triple engine. With a power-to-weight ratio comparable to the mighty Ram 1500 TRX, the Maverick is set to deliver an exhilarating ride like no other.
The heart of this beast is its turbocharged triple engine, which generates an impressive 240 horsepower. Coupled with a seven-speed DCT transmission and optional paddle shifters, the Maverick offers a range of drive modes that allow drivers to unleash its full potential. From shifting at 4,000 rpm to reaching a staggering 8,500 rpm with an anti-lag system, this off-roader promises an adrenaline-fueled experience with pops and crackles that will leave you craving for more.
To ensure a smooth landing after those heart-pounding jumps, Can-Am has equipped the Maverick with top-tier shocks. The Maverick R X RS model features 25 inches of wheel travel (26 inches at the rear) with Fox Podium Piggyback shocks, bypasses, and Smart-Shox technology at each corner. These advanced shocks provide dual-valve compression and rebound, similar to the high-performance DSSV units found on the Chevy Colorado ZR2. With 32-inch tires, 17 inches of ground clearance, and impressive suspension capabilities, the Maverick can conquer any trail with ease.
Inside the cabin, Can-Am has addressed a long-standing complaint by upgrading the tech features. The Maverick now boasts a massive 10.25-inch touchscreen display, eliminating the outdated digital alarm clock-like interface of previous models. This upgrade brings the Maverick in line with its competitors, such as Polaris, which have long offered snazzy RideCommand systems. Additionally, the gear selector has been redesigned to prevent any mishaps when shifting into park. These improvements enhance the overall user experience and justify the premium price tag.
Speaking of price, the Maverick R starts at $35,499, offering 240 horsepower and a thrilling off-road experience. However, for those seeking the ultimate performance and suspension capabilities, the Maverick R with trick dampers starts at $44,299. Customization options are also available, allowing buyers to add features like a JL Audio sound system with six speakers and two subwoofers for an additional $5,100. With all the bells and whistles, the price can easily exceed $60,000.
In conclusion, the 2024 Can-Am Maverick is a true beast on wheels. With its jaw-dropping 240 horsepower, advanced suspension system, and upgraded tech features, this side-by-side off-roader offers an unparalleled off-road experience. Whether you’re conquering rough terrains or flying through the desert, the Maverick delivers power, performance, and excitement like no other. So buckle up and get ready for an adrenaline-fueled adventure with Can-Am’s latest creation.
