Maverick Trail models headline 2018 Can-Am side-by-side range
As well as "crawling-specific" Maverick X3 X rc models and three new Defender utilitiesBRP has unveiled four new 50-inch wide Can-Am Maverick Trail side-by-side vehicles at its annual dealer meeting in Dallas.
“The Can-Am Maverick Trail lineup introduces our incredible X3 pedigree to trail exploration,” said Bernard Guy, Senior Vice President, Global Product Strategy at BRP.
The fun doesn’t stop on the trail, though, as BRP has also introduced two new 'crawling-specific' models for 2018 – the 172hp Can-Am Maverick X3 X rc Turbo R and the 120hp Maverick X3 X rc Turbo. Rugged crawling is extremely popular (and growing), and BRP went to the rocks to gain real-world insight from owners before finalising the design.

To cope with extreme conditions, the two Maverick turbos have a technology called Smart-Lok, which is a fully-lockable on-the-fly front differential with electronically controlled automatic modes. They also have high ground clearance and large, specialised tyres.
They also come loaded with features for maximum protection including rock sliders, front and rear suspension protectors, and a front differential guard.
New Defenders
On the utility side of the lineup, BRP introduced three new specialty packages to its Can-Am Defender model family, each purpose-built for a specific, enhanced ride experience:
• The Defender X mr HD10 is a mud-ready vehicle that’s built to tackle grimy conditions with ease. It also has a Smart-Lok front differential.
• The Defender XT-P brings performance to the workhorse-oriented Defender XT lineup, with upgraded shocks, multiple driving modes, and more. It’s a balance between performance, comfort and convenience.
• The Defender MAX LONE STAR HD10 is designed for "day-to-day ranching tasks" and features metallic black paint, Lone Star trim, and heavy-duty components such as a steel front bumper and full hard roof.
