Will Can-Am’s 2017 Maverick X3 Have 3 Seats?

Can-Am has been working directly with top racing teams and this will be their biggest effort into the high performance UTV market yet.UTV Driver

5 Reasons Can-Am would call the new 2017 Maverick by the name X3
3 Generations of Maverick chassis have been made. The original in 2012, the XDS chassis when the Turbo came out with its revised rear end, and the new X3 which should be amazing.
3 Seats is a good possibility since Can-Am really needs a machine that stands out and offers something no other UTV does.
3 Link trailing arm system would give the new Maverick a similar rear end to the RZR, but most likely it would be much stronger.
3 Cylinders in a turbo charged engine is a high possibility. Can-Am’s engine division, Rotax has several options to choose from including a 900cc engine that would fit the bill perfect.
3 Speeds out of a controllable CVT transmission, or perhaps it could use the same six speed gear box that the Spyder RT uses.

According to the specs on the 900cc ACE H.O, the powerplant puts out 90 Hp in stock trim. A turbo charger could bump that up to 150+ Hp which would be on par with what the rumored 2017 Polaris RZR Turbo may have.UTV Driver
