Can-Am Maverick History
The Can-Am Maverick vision all started back in 1942 with Joseph-Armand Bombardier and his newly founded company– Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP). BRP was known for designing snowmobiles and motocross vehicles but eventually ventured into all-terrain vehicles (ATV).
Instead of sticking to a traditional design, BRP continued to set the industry standards high by designing the first manufacturer-approved ATV for two persons. As a result, BRP continued to grow in success and popularity across the racing world. In September of 2007, BRP rebranded its ATV line to be called–what we know today–the Can-Am.
Following the initial success of their rebranding, Can-Am introduced their first side-by-side vehicle called the Can-Am Commander in 2010. This new side-by-side lineup came with different model variations and engine sizes. The Can-Am Commander put Can-Am at the top of the industry for side-by-side vehicles.
2012 – Can Am Maverick Initial Release
Just two years later, Can-Am released their most durable and fastest design yet with the Can-Am Maverick. The Can-Am Maverick had the highest horsepower of side-by-side vehicles in the industry. Even after releasing a successful vehicle, Can-Am enhanced its performance by adding a turbo-charge option the following year. To date, the Can-Am Maverick X ds Turbo is the highest horsepower side-by-side vehicle on the market.

Common Problems with the Original Can-Am Maverick (Early Models)
While the Can-Am Maverick is a reliable side-by-side, like any vehicle, it will have problems of its own. Although minor, some of the common problems with the Maverick can end up costing drivers more money to repair it.
One of the most commonly listed problems with the Maverick is involving the original front differentials. While the ones installed can do the job, drivers have reported that it creates a grinding sound due to u-joints not being indexed correctly (Maverick Forum). Additionally, some have reported that the tie rods are weak from factory installation. Even though these are small issues, these problems can have long-term effects on your Can-Am Maverick. You can avoid these problems by getting your Can-Am Maverick inspected and repaired when necessary and upgrading your parts.

Maverick Driver Reviews
- Review by Emme Hall | 2022 Can-Am Maverick X3 X RC Turbo RR
“Driving and riding in the Can-Am Maverick allowed me to ditch my stodgy preconceived notions about what an off-road rig should be. It’s some of the most fun I’ve ever had in the dirt, with the reassurance that almost nothing could get in my way.”
- Review by John Arens | 2022 Can-Am Maverick X3 X RS Turbo
“Can-Am has a penchant for high-performance, and every Maverick model is designed to thrill both driver and passenger. They bring plenty of power to the trail with engines all the way up to 200hp driving easy-to-operate CVT transmissions. Long travel suspension smooths out the trails or desert terrain, even on the budget-friendly Trail models.”
- Review by Aaron Richardson | 2023 Can-Am Maverick X3 DS
“The 2023 Can-Am Maverick X3 DS got its extra grunt thanks to a new turbo, bigger injectors, a new ECU, and revised ECU tuning. Can-Am also reworked the X3 DS’ pDrive primary clutch to make the rig accelerate more quickly and run quieter.”
