Been a fan for years, and awesome review of the can-am and always liked the sound of the 1000cc motors always sounds tight and responsive and as always thanks for always giving us viewers your honest review and opinion 👍
That's awesome! Thank you!!
That’s Why I always like their videos as well is a true honest review
@@dirttraxtv never heard you guys mention who won the prize pack you mentioned in the video
My friends had the exact same machine last year . In less than a year they put on nearly 3000 kms riding with us with zero issues . They actually sold it though this spring to buy a Maverick Sport X RC 2 seater . I have always been a Yamaha guy but I actually went out 2 months ago and drove 7 1/2 hours to Quebec and bought a Maverick Sport X XC and so far i have just shy of 1000 kms on it and love it !
I’ve moved on to a new Jeep Rubicon but I still watch all your videos to keep up with the industry. Thanks much! 🇺🇸
One big reason I own a Can Am, a Maverick Sport. How well Can Am's hold up. Love my Sport over 3000klm's and nothing has broken, stop working. Oil, filters and grease.
I'm turning 70 and bought myself a canam watched your review and loved it.Your right very roomie and suspension is awesome...love my canam😁
Right on!
Glad to see the sport platform getting some love! I’ve got just over 3200 miles on my 2020 sport, has been an awesome machine! Very under rated
I like that you are testing a used side by side that to me is better than a brand new one
Long term review.
I have a 2005 Arctic Cat 400 4x4 automatic and when the odometer stopped working after 10 years I had just over 12,000 Km on it. I did not bother fixing it, so I have no idea what it currently has for Km’s.This has been the best machine and the guys I ride with can’t believe that I still ride it, and are also amazed what it can do.
I have changed the belt once, lots of breaks, 3 front axle seals on the same side, 2 CV boots, lots of wheel bearings, shock bushings, A-arm bushing, and a few batteries.
I snorkelled the air in and out for the belt, but the air intake for the engine is still stock. Clutch is still stock, and nothing has been changed on the clutch (still the stock rollers etc…). I have taken it apart several times to ensure it’s clean, and I have an air filter on the the air in for the belt to help keep dust out.
I have had to remove the spark plug several times to pump water out of the engine. Put the spark plug back in, start it up, and keep riding. But I would change the oil as soon as I got home. Engine still runs, and sounds perfect.
Also used to plow snow in the winter.
You can watch a video on my channel of me pulling a trailer load of wood out through a swamp. “I thought is was going to be an easy day” is the name of the video.
I’m not saying that Arctic Cat is the best or anything like that, but this machine has left me with no regrets.
Biggest problem I have right now is I bent the frame. Did the best I could to get it straight, but it is still steering funny. Then my son (20 years old) took it out for a rip down the road with the snow plow on and couldn’t hold the handle bars, due to messed up steering because of the bent frame, and he did a flip when the corner of the plow dug into the ground, and it landed on the right rear tire. Bent and broke upper and lower A-arms, rim, bearing carrier, and plow (my son only got minor scraps, nothing serious, he was luckily). After replacing all of this (minus the plow) the right rear wheel is not running perfectly straight.
Looking for a new frame but they are not available! Found a used frame, but seller has no ownership, so…… I’m not taking the chance.
I live in Ontario, Canada. If any one has a matching machine that they want to sell? Running or not, I would be interested.
If not, looks like it might be time to buy a new side by side, but not sure what to get.
Thank for this review, I love your educational videos.
That's awesome!
Always enjoy y'alls videos. Appreciate the honest feedback you give of all the different units. Looks like whoever had the unit before didn't spare any expense on the accessories!
I like the video and the machine..1600 miles Is a good amount for a year and you saying it was tight is a testament as to the quality of a Can-Am..keep up the great work..
I love the smell of dirt trax on a Saturday morning. Makes my day. Thank you all for doing these reviews. Also huge thanks for keeping the videos straight forward. Keep up the great work guys,and gals! Cheers from southern Nevada!
LOL That's awesome!! Thank you for tuning in!!
No smoke, no rattling I'm impressed.
I would like to say, u guys make shopping a lot easier. You are very informative when it comes to your knowledge. Thank you.
Great to hear!
I tell you, as a Polaris rider of many years, thats a sick looking machine, and the fact thats it has held up over the course of that many miles really well is really a good sign. The machine sounds like new with a nice V-Twin rumble and I can't wait to see how the test ride goes. I enjoy each and every video you guys put out for every single manufacture out there and am also a big fan of the SnowTrax TV as well and love the reviews from that channel too! Love each video guys, keep op the good work, take care.
Awesome and thank you!!
I have 7500km on 2013 Ranger 900xp that's lightly modified. Regular maintenance is key. Nice to hear that Can Am is still tight.
Love watching new episodes on Sunday mornings with my coffee! Great content, and love my dirttrax decal!!!!
I have this same machine. I added 32 inch tires. It made a huge difference, look wise and ride ability. I think you nailed the walk around review. Thanks for reviewing this machine. Can't wait for the ride review.
How much of an offset did you go to get the 32's on
@@2amendment1 5+2 off set. That gave me a little over 60” width, stock it was like 58”. But I really like my set up
I have been a fan for years and really like your videos. They are always very informative, honest and educational. I am looking to purchase a new side by side and because of Covid, it is very difficult to visit a dealership and view, walk around, sit in and get a feel for the machine as there is no stock. I really trust your non bias reviews that has really helped to make my new purchase.
Awesome! Thank you!
Bought this in '19 and have it all decked out and very happy with it. Only issue was the 'drive train rattle' that is pretty well known (and happened very early on) that was fixed with a set screw. I would like more ground clearance (I'm now on 30s), that's about it. Agreed with most of the commentary in this video in terms of power. Most of the Maverick/Trail/2dr accessories fit on this, too, though you need to make sure before purchase. Great walkaround, love to see these on well-used vehicles.
It's good to see a vehicle that's been used already. I wish there was a way to have more that way
Big fan of the show and big fan of the Maverick Sport. I have a 2 seater and love it. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching!
Brother has one nice ride been very reliable for him in the last year!!
I plan on buying a side by side next year. I really appreciate your honest reviews. It helps alot on my decisions!
My family has a defender 1000 and I can agree with you guys on the clutching
Great Video. I bought my first ATV last fall because of the great job Dirt Trax does. Now if I was in the market for a 4 seater I would put this Can Am at the top of my list. I am impressed with fact that there are no rattles after a year of abuse. Thanks Guys
I love Dirt Trax and I haven't missed an episode in since I bought my quad
That's awesome! Great to hear and thanks for watching!!
Good walk around review. We get plenty of Can Ams coming through the shop mostly because the local dealer sucks and most won't ever go back. When they're right, you can't touch them, amazing machines. Repairs are complicated because of the design and the parts are expensive and hard to come by in the states. We've got a Renegade X that has a problem connected with the factory anti theft device, we can't connect to it without the factory computer to read the code, the next dealer gave us such a high estimate the customer doesn't want to spend big bucks for the parts and labor to maybe fix it. 2 years worth of dust collects on one of the most amazing machines I've ever ridden. We ride customers Can Ams and own most everything else.
Best off road video producers on UA-cam hands down! Keep it up.
Appreciate that!
I really liked the walk around I have a 21 on order... I've never ridden in the machine and have been using videos to try learn about the performance, ride, and durability of the Maverick Sport Max. I hope to be able to pick the machine up in the next week. Going into my fairly large purchase blind it gives me confidence that you said you are impressed with how the machine has held up to the many miles that have been put on it over the past year.
That's awesome! Congratulations on your purchase!!
Very cool review and glad to see it on the Sport Max. I have a '21 on order since April and still waiting for delivery. Delivery has been bumped a few times and now I am being told it will be 9/28...we will see. Looking forward to getting it and put some miles on it. Thanks for the review...looking forward to your next one.
I have a 21 Maverick sport xrc and I will be extremely happy if it's that kind of shape with the same amount of kms. I appreciate your honesty and yes the doors seals are awesome. .
I bought a 2021 max sport 4 months and I agree with everything you pointed out. Especially the tires. They need to be taller, it doesn't have the ground clearance needed. The tires need to be 30's. Good to know it will go the distance. Looking forward to the test drive.
Been looking at sxs and have always wondered what kind of conditions it would be in after some good kms can't wait for the test drive video Dirt trax always have the best info 👍🇨🇦
Thank you!!
Awesome review! Really like the Can Am machines, and am excited to see the unique test ride!
I have OG Maverick with 4000 miles on and it running strong
It looks awesome. I'd be ok with the softer less twitchy 100hp. With young kids it might be a little less intense for them. Thanks for the review! We love DT TV!
Thank you!!
I’ve been riding a Polaris trail for about a year and put that many miles on so I think that’s a good amount of time to determine how reliable and how good a machine is. Good to see a walk around for a four seater since I’ll probably be in the market for one that is not as long as a limo soon. Thanks, love the show!
Thank you!
Great review and walk around, Can Am is the most reliable brand on the market.
My mother has the same machine and many of the same accessories. Very comfy trail family friendly machine. I'll be getting the new commander max xtp and can't wait to get out camping. The interior bags are awesome and I'll be adding them.
Great video, going to be buying a utv soon and now the maverick is on the list.
That really is a cool perspective. Ive had my can-am defender since 2018 and it doesnt have that many miles. It is holding up perfectly though. The rear winch is definitely handy.
Been watching for years love the content. Would love to see a 4x4 system comparison between brands.
Great suggestion and thank you for watching!!
Awesome review. Someday ill have a maverick sport. Looking forward to more vids to come!
Thank you! Stay tuned!!
Another great walk around! We have a 2 seat sport XMR in our crew and it has been incredible. We agree with your comment about the lack of low end grunt but I can say a tune really wakes them up. Can’t speak for a clutch kit but I’m sure that would be worth the money as well. Keep the vids coming!!
Also, you may think the tablet holder is silly but it’s worth it’s weight in gold. I have my tablet with trails maps every where I go, no more stopping at every crossroad to grab the map and try to figure out where you are!!
Thanks for all the great reviews and product info.
Our pleasure!
Nice unit. love to see more reviews with vehicles that have some miles on them like this! Nice to see how they hold up.
Great video. When I am ready for my next sxs I will check out a 2 seat maverick sport.
Greqt video, your shows are always good and informative.
I appreciate that!
Thinking of ordering one soon
I’m interested in a two seater sport so the long term review is helpful. I’m Looking forward to the test ride and your opinion.
Great video, been following you guys since I first found the TV show years ago. Looking forward to the full test ride. Nice to see something with some good miles on it get put to the test.
Awesome! Thank you!
I really enjoyed the walk-around. Durability is probably higher on my list than all the cool toys the manufactures put on the units now-a-days.
I love the walkarounds! I'm going to be in the market for a Commander 4 seater so this was a great idea of what to expect with that machine!
Thank you for another content-rich video. I like the long-term review, I hope you are able to offer more of them.
More to come!
Love the walk around think the 2400k answers a lot of reliability questions
I would love someone to make doors like that for my '14 Maverick. Good work guys
Thanks for the video guys! They really help with decision making when the time comes!
Awesome!
Always good information and feedback and what you see good or bad. Love your videos great work from the dt crew
Awesome! Thank you!
you guys do the best review very easy to watch strait to the point keep the videos coming
Much appreciated!
Considering what these machines go threw. It’s nice to see it held up.
Good video and good looking machine. Thank for the honest review
Thanks!!
Good review. I have approx 1000 miles on my 570 midsize. In less than a year. So as for a ton of miles Kind of I do think can am is good reliable machine. I hope i win.
Can’t wait to wear my new swag ;) love the content.
Great walk around info, thanks for sharing. I have this exact model / yr bought this spring one yr old. Love it,
Right on!
With proper maintenance I've never heard of any major issues with Can-Ams - the caveat being mud seems to cause a ton of issues regardless of how well you clean them afterwards. I have 5000km on mine and it's never been back to dealer - but I don't ride mud.
I always look forward to every time you guys post.Always like a can am they sound cool.the miles are kind of high
That's awesome! Thank you!!
Always enjoy your videos. Can I suggest you use an ND filter on your camera. It won’t look so washed out. Normally your videos look great.
Appreciate the feedback.
Great review, I always like that you pick at the little things because a door may seem simple, but for every time you drive it, you'll use that door twice. And your right, for a limo of a SxS, bigger tires would have seemed to make sense, better clearance, better ride too. Not to mention so many sub 28" tires make the SXS's look like the wheels came from a lawn mower lol. Put some manly tires on there please.
Love watching you guys. Always does a great review on your stuff. Been thinking of getting one of these and cant wait to see the test ride!!
Thank you so much!
We have the 2021 Sport Max and it's been a blast to drive. I'm pretty hard on it but hoping it holds up as well as the 20' in the video. I did add 30" Terrabites to gain a little ground clearance. Biggest drawback of the Sport platform is a lack of aftermarket support, everything is geared towards the X3 but I understand the reasons.
No issues, or regrets? Im looking at one.
@@kbar6304 no real issues or regrets, I do think I'd like to have a turbo 2 seater at times though. I've added 33" terrabites and superatv arched forward control arms over the winter.
@@mo_hacker how does handle chop in the trails?
@@philturinsky27 mine isn't a good example for handling chop, it rides rough because I've put so much preload into it for ground clearance. Thinking back to the 1st trip I took it on it handled rough trails more comfortably other than bottoming out. The guys in Honda Pioneers and Polaris Rangers were complaining about how rough the trails were I took them down and we barely noticed LOL.
I enjoy ALL your Video's and reviews, and I think this particular one is one of the best! If I were to be in need of a 4 seat Machine, I would certainly have to check out the Maverick Sport Max.
Right on!
Go sit in the back of a RZR XP 4. The Maverick Sport Max is way better. The electronics holder is a great accessory. Many, many people use their tablets for their gps device and this works great for holding it. So no, it’s not weird
Great video - love getting the low down on a model with some hard miles with many different drivers. Thanks
Great video 2 quick things ground clearance? And wish u would have sat in back seat to get a idea how big it is.
Another awesome video!
Looks cool but how does it stack up to a general as I'm in the market. Love you guys keep up the great work
Great video, as always!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love the doors!
Another great review thanks .
Lovin' the review and Maverick
Thank you!
Love the videos man! Keep em comin!!!
Great walk around thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
FYI- the passenger grab handle is in fact adjustable... the seat moves forward/back. The reasoning for other manufacturers having the handle adjustable is because the seat is fixed.
Question. Any issues with driveshaft rattle? My 2021 Commander Max XT is now on its second repair within 850 miles. It seems to be a common issue in only the 4 seat mavericks and Commander's (which are 95% the same machine).
I have been waiting for a Maverick sport vs razor S shootout. 2 seaters. Can’t decide which one.
Been looking at 4 seater, and somehow overlooked this one. Be interesting to see a shootout between it and say the Talon4, and RZR4.
Cool but ima hang onto my 3 sport ATVs. Not into these low input dune buggies....maybe one day..
Wutcha got?
Enjoy all your thoughts on every vehicle you test! Own ZForce 800 now and thinking of getting Can Am trail. Lots to think about!
Awesome detailed video
Thanks! 👍
Why was the camera on him almost the entire time he talked about the interior and machine!? We want to see the machine!
Loved the vid super helpful
Thanks!!
Thanks for the walk around! It's too bad you can't keep them longer.
Would be awesome to have them for at least a full season so we post do a post-season wrap up report.
Nice ride but still not enough to push me to sxs... I like my atv's.
Do you plan on doing more then a walk around really curious on the capabilities of the machine
I have a 2020 max. Bought it the weekend after memorial day 2020. It now has 2200 miles on it. As a family of 4, and sometimes the dog, we have enjoyed every second of riding. Even took it from our home in WI out to the black hills of SD this year in July. Regular maintenance only. Need to start looking for a new set of tires as we do travel a fair amount of miles on pavement. I mean, why not? Can ride right from our house 17 miles to some of our states finest sxs trails. Love the review. Disagree with passenger grab handle because the seat is adjustable
I would love to try one out, and compare to my kawa teryx 4
That would be a good shootout.
@@dirttraxtv i know they are not in the same same category. Teryx is small in length and smaller in engine wise. I which they made a 1000cc version
How is the ride quality through chop?? 90% of the trails I ride are choppy terribly choppy. I haven't seen a groomed trail in years. I'm thinking about trading in my 19 RZR XP 4 1000 for this
These are good machines but the shocks are a bit too soft. Something I'd definitely upgrade.
Have to say my 2021 has had some issues. 2 rear axles so far. ( Made in China). Propeller shaft rattle fixed twice by the dealer and still rattles. Can am doesn't care anymore as it's out of warranty. And the rear springs keep sagging I have adjusted them 7 times then got fed up and bought some from bandit utv. I have the tablet holder and it's great for phones or tablets. The grab handle doesn't need to be adjustable as the seat moves forward and back my 7 year old can reach it and I can reach it im 5 foot 10. Great gas mileage I can go 195kms before the tank is dry. The gas gauge is inaccurate to say the least. I have 1700kms on it now. And have spare rear axles ready to go . I was advised by the dealer there absolute junk. Doors were poorly aligned from the factory as well. The propeller shaft noise is a issue on x3 as well. Sounds like coins in a can rattling around between 5 and 25 kmph. Machine does drive and handle excellent. Burns about 300ml of oil every 500kms . Suspension squeeked alot . Buy some super glide off amazon. The grease fittings on the front sway bar is garbage there mounted to the bushing and pop out easily . I have used a new rzrxp4 for a week and I would buy the can am . The rzr was a rattle box and the door on the rear fly open randomly even after making sure there latched and the rzr belt slipped alot on hilly terrain even in low. The can am has had no issues with the belt at all. Oh and it doesn't come with the tool to change the belt thats$40 extra . 🙄
How is 1600 miles on a machine alot in a year? i put 2500 on my rs1 in less than a year and i already have 600 miles on my 21 turbo s that i got 2 months ago. For the price of these units if they cant hold up without repair for 1600 miles thats a bit of an issue. All i did on the rs1 was oil and diff fluid changes and one set of pads. I also changed the belt at 2000 miles just to be safe never had an issue and the belt looked fine.
I can’t justify buying one of these 30,000-$40,000 side by sides when i can pretty much get the same performance out of a modified small suv, 4runner Xterra Pathfinder etc for a third of the price or less. Or am i wrong?
Skid plate does not handle any kind of rocky areas. 2nd trip out mine was tore completly in half and went with a aftermarket.
What did you get for aftermarket?
Did you practice your french in Québec!!!
