The Rock-Crushing Maverick Sport X rc DPS 1000R Arrives

If you live in the parts of the USA where rocks are bigger than trucks but you still have to get to the top, then you might want to check out the 2019 Can-Am Maverick Sport X rc 1000R. This new model from Can-Am for 2019 brings all of the features a rock-crawling enthusiast might need to fill the bucket list completely. One of the biggest advancements for this machine is Can-Am’s Smart-Lok technology. This front differential tech gives the discriminating rock crawler a fully lockable chunk to master the rough terrain. Tested and approved by some of the best in that segment, including Casey Currie.

This Smart-Lok system affords four total settings for the driver to choose from. With 2x4 as a trail standard, the 4x4 fully locked, 4x4 Rock, and 4x4 Trail settings make choices galore.

Pairing the Smart-Lok engineering with Can-Am’s iTC (or intelligent throttle control) fuel delivery system and you have the power to billy goat the slow stuff or rampage through those open desert areas on the course. The iTC large volume throttle body gets its fuel in maps ranging from Eco or full Sport modes and includes an option for Electronic Hill Descent as well. Getting all you need out of your 100-hp Rotax Twin has never been easier. Taking in the fresh desert air is important for the Rotax mill, and the larger Donaldson airbox from the Mavericks X3 line is used to absolutely promote intense air induction.

When suspension comes to mind, the approach and departure angles on the 2019 Maverick Sport X rc 1000R build confidence. Whether going up onto or off and away from any obstacle, your tires will find earth first, provided you do not run out of talent in the heat of the moment. The DPS (or dynamic power steering) on the X rc will also help you negotiate those tight tough areas with the precision of a surgical knife. If the rock garden gets full of insanely tall rocks, you can have confidence in knowing that the afforded 15 inches of ground clearance will simply tower over those obstacles. As the speeds pick up along those wider spaces you will be happy to also know the Maverick Sport X rc gives riders 14.75 inches of wheel travel to soak in the rough that gets overlooked.

The 2019 Maverick Sport X rc 1000R also comes with wide arched arms for proper usage of available ground and obstacle clearance as well as the HMW suspension arm protectors with full body skids as well as front and rear differential protection from those sneaky little protruding rocks or ledges. Overall, this 2019 Maverick Sport X rc 1000R is the complete package right from Can-Am!
