Features and Benefits
101-hp Rotax 1000R
V-Twin engine
The new 976cc, 101-hp Rotax 1000R V-Twin engine is the most
powerful side-by-side engine in the industry. This liquid-cooled, single-overhead-cam
powerplant features four valves per cylinder and is fed by a 54mm Bosch
throttle body and two VDO Seimens fuel injectors. The sophisticated electronic
fuel injection system automatically keeps the engine's performance at its peak,
regardless of temperature or altitude. Dual exhausts ensure that distinctive
sound you'd expect from a high-performance side-by-side vehicle. The end result
is a high-performance side-by-side vehicle capable of producing the most power,
acceleration and best power-to-weight while at the same time maintaining excellent
fuel efficiency.
High-flow Dynamics
When an engine breathes easier, it can produce more
horsepower. So Can-Am optimized air intake, combustion and exhaust flow to
improve engine efficiency. The result is the 101-hp Rotax 1000R. This was
achieved in conjunction with increasing the flow volume of the intake plenum
and independent intake runners that allow the tuning of each cylinder for
optimal performance. A high-flow head to optimize the combustion chamber, thanks
to larger intake and exhaust valves and an increased compression ratio
(12.0:1), and high-flow dual exhaust all contribute to the more-powerful and
efficient engine.
Intelligent Throttle
Control (iTC)
The electronic throttle-by-wire iTC system offers a smooth
throttle delivery even if the driver's foot is bouncing due to rough terrain.
The iTC system-which features a rider selectable twin-mode toggle switch for
throttle control-can detect unwanted bounces and then filter the input,
resulting in more throttle accuracy, especially at low speed. Drivers can choose
between a progressive mode (standard) and a Sport mode, which offers linear
throttle control. This system also reduces the number of moving parts in the vehicle;
requires no maintenance; has no cables to adjust, lubricate or replace; and the
system has an increased life span.
Dual Exhaust
The dual exhausts uses tuned manifold lengths and resonator
chamber to create more flow, optimizing performance and sound. An industry
first catalytic converter and closed-loop system ensure optimal combustion from
an emission standpoint, meeting new EPA/CARB standards for 2014 models.
Continuously Variable
Transmission (CVT) with Zylon-reinforced belt
The updated CVT system showcases a new belt reinforced with
Zylon, a material with 1.6 times higher tensile strength and with increased
belt rigidity in compression compared to a regular belt, keeping it cooler. A
dual CVT exhaust design also ensures cooler belt temperatures, even in extreme
conditions. A redesigned drive pulley with increased diameter will provide
extra durability. Standard with engine braking to help slow you when going
downhill.
10-gallon (37.8 L)
fuel tank
The Maverick has the largest fuel tank of a sport
side-by-side at 10 gallons (38 liters). That's 14 percent more than its nearest
competitor in the segment, providing extended range while exploring the
outdoors.
Double A-arm front
suspension
The double A-arm front suspension front suspension features
14 in. (356mm) of travel for a capable and precise ride.
Torsional Trailing
A-Arms (TTA ) independent rear suspension
The innovative TTA rear suspension on the Maverick 1000R is
engineered to be compact, lightweight, efficient and deliver the performance
sport enthusiasts demand. This is a compact version of a five-link suspension
for no bump steer and the lowest scrub for optimized bump absorption and
tire-to-ground contact. It also has less rear unsprung weight than other sport side-by-sides.
The system features a double A-arm setup where each A-arm acts as two links and
uses a toe-control link as the fifth link. The result is a more condensed and
lighter package with less pivot points and spherical ball joints making it more
durable because it reduces free play and wear and is more resistant to
undercarriage damage. Engineers designed the TTA to allow for optimal geometric
weight transfer to enhance the tire-to-ground contact, while at the same time
increasing its bump absorption, traction and, ultimately, overall control of
the suspension. Offers 14-inches (356mm) of travel.
Fox Podium X
Performance 2.0 piggyback shocks
The Can-Am Maverick features front and rear Fox Podium X
Performance 2.0 HPG piggyback shocks with compression and preload adjustments
so you can set up the ride to whatever playgrounds you choose to tackle.
Re-buildable design allows for easy service and valving changes. This shock
features dual-rate spring, high-volume 6-inch (152mm) piggyback reservoir, velocity
sensitive damping control, hard-anodized aluminum body, forged piggyback body
cap, hard-chrome plated heat-treated shaft, upper and lower bearing mounts,
racing-developed high-flow piston and specially formulated oil for optimal
performance at variable temperatures.
Mid-engine layout
The Rotax powerplant sits low and close to the center of the
wheelbase, which not only improves the Maverick side-by-side's weight
distribution and mass centralization, but also means it's quicker to react to
direction changes. The mid-engine configuration results in a low center of
gravity and, along with the rest of the chassis components, improves handling while
cornering. Add in a 84.3-inch (214cm) wheelbase and 64-inch (163cm) width, and
the result is a nimble Maverick that is as predictable and confidence inspiring
as it is powerful and dynamic.
High frame rigidity
The Maverick 1000R is outfitted with a new frame that offers
more engineered rigidity compared to its closest competition. With more torsional
rigidity, a frame can improve handling by allowing the vehicle's suspension to
work properly and with increased precision.
13 in. (33cm) of
ground clearance
The Maverick has 13 inches (33cm) of total ground clearance
for optimum performance in challenging terrain. The suspension and frame were
engineered to produce a vehicle that can tackle rugged terrain in predictable
fashion while also remaining precise in aggressive cornering.
Front and rear dual
214-mm ventilated disc brakes
The four-wheel disc braking system on the Maverick 1000R
consists of front 214mm hydraulic disc brakes with twin-piston caliper and
214mm rear hydraulic disc with a single-piston caliper for great stopping
power.
12-inch Center-less
Cast-aluminum Wheels
These stylish center-less cast-aluminum wheels were
computer-optimized to add strength and durability in strategic areas while
eliminating excess material in other spots to reduce unsprung weight.
27-inch (60.6cm)
Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 Tires
The non-directional, six-ply Maxxis Bighorn 2.0 radial tires
offer an extremely durable carcass, yet are lightweight in design to reduce
unsprung weight. This tire provides a smooth ride, predictable feel over a
variety of surfaces while at the same time offering sturdy lugs and a capable
tread pattern to let you drive with confidence.
Visco-Lok Front
Differential
Exclusive to Can-Am, Visco-Lok is a progressively and
automatically locking front differential system, once 4x4 mode is selected. The
system intelligently transfers power from a slipping front wheel to the
opposing wheel with traction. Visco-Lok has no buttons to push or levers to
pull. Plus, there's no wheel hop or driveline wind-up so the system is totally
transparent to the driver and extremely easy to steer. Visco-Lok gives progressive
lock-up with no rev or speed limiter.
Driver and passenger
advanced ergonomics
The Can-Am Maverick 1000R features a spacious cockpit
specifically designed to cater to the needs of drivers of various sizes and do
