Powered by a 900cc Rotax ACE turbocharged three-cylinder engine producing 120 horsepower, the Maverick X3 DS Turbo delivers strong acceleration and an exciting driving experience for recreational trail and off-road use.
Turbocharged Rotax ACE Performance
At the heart of the Maverick X3 DS Turbo is Can-Am’s 900cc Rotax ACE turbocharged engine. Its three-cylinder configuration, liquid cooling, electronic fuel injection, and turbocharger provide responsive power delivery across a broad operating range.
The engine is paired with Can-Am’s QRS-X continuously variable transmission (CVT) for smooth automatic operation and quick power delivery.
Advanced 4WD Capability
Selectable 2WD and 4WD allow the driver to adapt the drivetrain to changing terrain.
The Visco-Lok QE auto-locking front differential provides additional traction when needed, helping the Maverick X3 tackle loose surfaces, trails, sand, mud, and other challenging off-road environments.
Long-Travel FOX Suspension
The 2021 Maverick X3 DS Turbo is designed around a high-performance suspension system capable of handling demanding recreational riding.
FOX 2.5 PODIUM QS3 shocks provide adjustable damping performance, while approximately 20 inches of suspension travel helps absorb bumps, ruts, and uneven terrain.
Its approximately 14-inch ground clearance provides additional clearance when navigating off-road obstacles.
Sport-Focused Two-Passenger Cockpit
The Maverick X3’s cockpit places the driver and passenger in a low, performance-oriented seating position.
Supportive seats, four-point harnesses, an adjustable driver’s seat, and a tilt-adjustable steering wheel help create a comfortable and secure environment for recreational off-road driving.
