can am maverick r 2026

The Can-Am Maverick R 2026 continues its legacy as a top-tier performance side-by-side, offering a range of variants tailored for different off-road disciplines. At its core, the Maverick R lineup is powered by a turbocharged 999cc Rotax ACE triple-cylinder engine, delivering an impressive 240 horsepower. This power is managed by a recalibrated dual-clutch transmission (DCT) for smoother, sharper acceleration. A key feature across the lineup is the advanced suspension, which includes a forged aluminum heavy-duty Tall Knuckle and a 4-Link Trailing arm setup, providing exceptional travel (24-25 inches) and durability. The 2026 models also boast a new 10.25-inch touchscreen display with integrated GPS and other connected features, enhancing the in-cab experience.
The Maverick R comes in several specialized variants, each with its own unique characteristics. The Maverick R X and its four-seat counterpart, the Maverick R MAX X, serve as the base models, equipped with FOX 2.5 PODIUM Piggyback shocks and a Smart-Lok front differential. For those seeking even higher performance, the Maverick R X rs and Maverick R MAX X rs add premium features like FOX 3.0 PODIUM RC2 shocks with bypass, and the option for Can-Am's Gen 3 Smart-Shox semi-active suspension. A new addition to the 2026 lineup is the Maverick R X rc, specifically engineered for rock crawling. This variant features a low-gear transmission, a specialized ROCK mode on the Smart-Lok differential, and massive 35-inch XPS Hammer King tires, along with a steering damper and reinforced protection. This diverse lineup ensures that whether a rider is tackling dunes, trails, or technical rock sections, there's a Maverick R built to conquer the challenge.
