Can-Am Talks Dust Prevention for the Maverick R

Today’s off-road vehicles have far better dust and water resistance than top models from just a few years ago, but even the best can accumulate a significant amount of grime on some trails. Can-Am’s recent video covers some of the best practices for managing dust on the Maverick R, though some of it feels like a sales pitch for the company’s accessories. Let’s take a look.

The Can-Am smart particle separator mounts to the stock intake and can block up to 96% of dust. It creates an air vortex to direct dirty air away from the vehicle while sending clean air into the airbox.

Can-Am’s available sport roof helps keep dust out of the cabin, and the company says it helps improve outward visibility. It can also pair with a flip-up windshield and a roof-mounted air intake. Can-Am offers a rear window dust screen and side dust screens that prevent entry caused by the swirling air around the vehicle.

While we’re talking about these products as being for dust resistance, they can also make the vehicle much more comfortable to ride and live with. The window screens cut dust and can help keep pests and other “outside things” where they belong. Additionally, the sport roof helps improve performance with its large air scoop, and the available flip-up windshield creates better interior ventilation for times when dust is minimal.
