the 2014 model year. Take a look.

New Models
Maverick MAX 1000R
Unveiled in 2013 as an early release 2014 model, the sporty
Can-Am Maverick MAX 1000R (also available in the popular X rs package) offers a
class-leading 101-horsepower Rotax engine, precision-engineered handling and
both rider- and passenger-focused ergonomics. With seating for four adults, the
Maverick MAX platform offers everything the two-seat Maverick 1000R has, but
also includes a 29.5-inch longer wheelbase and industry-leading comfort levels
for its rear passengers. The MAX also has larger front hydraulic disc brakes
than the standard Maverick side-by-side for increased stopping power.
Maverick MAX X rs DPS
Starting with the base Maverick MAX 1000R, the X rs DPS
package includes Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering and Visco-Lok QE for precision
control even in slow-speed technical terrain. The X rs DPS package also adds a
premium fully adjustable FOX 2.5 Podium Performance shock package, 12-inch
aluminum beadlock center-less wheels and is available in either white with
black and Can-Am Red accents or its original black-and-yellow X-package color
scheme. The X-package includes a custom steering wheel, special seat trim, and
rock sliders. The new Can-Am family 3-D analog/digital gauge package was also
added for 2014.
New Packages
Maverick X rs DPS
New for 2014 is the addition of Tri-Mode DPS and Visco-Lok
QE to the two-seat Maverick 1000R X rs model. The X rs vehicle also receives
the full line of X-package upgrades including fully tunable FOX 2.5 Podium
Performance shocks, 12-inch color-match beadlock wheels, X-package seat trim,
mudguards, steering wheel with brushed aluminum center, rock slides and two
color choices. Choose between the carryover black-and-yellow color scheme with
X-package graphics and sponsor logos and the all-new white with Can-Am red-and-black
highlights. This model also receives the full X-package gauge upgrade.
Maverick X xc DPS
The Maverick 1000R X xc DPS vehicle is inspired by the proven
Renegade X xc platform. The all-new X-package Maverick includes a narrowing kit
(60-inch width), tri-mode DPS, Visco-Lok QE and FOX 2.0 Podium X Performance
shocks with 12 inches
of travel for precision control in tighter woods and trails. Utilizing feedback
from Can-Am Maverick side-by-side racers who compete in the Grand National
Cross Country (GNCC) series, the 1000R X xc is built to perform and also
includes X-package graphics, seat trim, brushed-aluminum steering wheel, rock
sliders, color-match beadlock wheels and the new gauge assembly.
Commander 1000 XT-P
New for the 2014 Can-Am Commander family of class-leading
rec-utility side-by-side vehicles is the Commander 1000 XT-P. Dressed in a
sporty black-and-yellow finish like its ATV brethren, the XT-P version retains
all the X-package components and is designed and outfitted to appease the
strict standards of high-performance side-by-side enthusiasts who desire a true
rec-utility crossover vehicle. Items like a 4,000-pound WARN winch, rock
sliders and beefier bumpers add to this vehicle's utility background, while its
FOX HPG shocks, front swaybar, and beadlock wheel give a nod to its sportier
side. The new Tri-mode DPS and Visco-Lok QE are also included.
New Color Schemes
White
The standard two-seat Can-Am Maverick 1000R now comes in a
brilliant white plastic with blacked-out center-less wheels and basic graphics.
White/Black/Red
Found on the Maverick 1000R X rs and X xc packages-in both
the two-seat and MAX platforms-a new white plastic includes black and red as
two secondary colors. These vehicles also wear X-package graphics, sponsor
logos and color-matched Can-Am Red beadlock rims.
New Features
3-D Analog/Digital Gauge
An upgraded 3-D analog/digital gauge package is offered on
all XT, XT-P (Commander), X rs and Limited (Commander) packages. The new gauge
differs from the normal rectangular version found on the base vehicles by
including a 3-D background for enhanced visual clarity. It features
state-of-the-art instrumentation with an analog tachometer and speedometer combined
with an advanced digital information center and much more.
Tri-Mode Dynamic
Power Steering, Visco-Lok QE On Maverick
The Tri-Mode Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) system is now
available on certain Maverick 1000R two-seat and MAX vehicles. The all-new
Maverick 1000R X rs DPS package includes both features for even more precision
handling. The all-new trail-friendly Maverick 1000R X xc DPS also receives this
update for the 2014 model year. The brand new Maverick MAX X rs comes standard with
Tri-Mode DPS. Featuring three driver-selectable settings (Hi, Med, Lo) for use
in the Maverick, DPS selects the appropriate level of steering assistance based
on the amount of steering assistance required for the current speed and terrain
conditions.
DPS also includes the Quicker-Engaging (QE) Visco-Lok front
differential to improve the Maverick side-by-side's traction and abilities in
slow-speed technical terrain. Like the Commander DPS system, the Maverick DPS
vehicles offer variable steering assistance in any mode and is engineered to
offer less assistance at high speed and more assistance at low speed.
Maverick Tri-Mode DPS
Package
For 2014,
a separate Maverick 1000R DPS package will be available
in addition to the base and X rs without DPS. The new 2014 four-seat Maverick
MAX 1000R X rs DPS is only available with the Can-Am exclusive Tri-Mode power
steering system.
Each DPS model comes in the new white with Can-Am Red and
black X-package color schematics.
ATV
New Feature
Revised 3-D Analog/Digital
Gauge Package
The gauge package on specific Can-Am ATV models was slightly
modified for 2014. The new 3-D analog/digital gauge package was enhanced for
2014. This updated package is available on all Outlander XT-P models, the MAX
1000 Limited and the Outlander
1000 X mr. The state-of-the-art gauge includes an analog
tachometer, speedometer and digital information center.
