I own a commander now and found a good deal on a maverick. How much different in the trails and tight places is the maverick? The commander seems to get through the trails pretty good. I know that it is wider by about 6 inches so it will be different. I ride mostly with rzr s, rangers, rhinos, teryx and a couple 900xp. I have tried pay attention to the 900 xp and it doesn't seem like he has much problems.

One more thing, setting side by side is the maverick just a bigger machine or are they close in size?

I ride with a Commander and an 800s and I have yet to have a single issue with my XRS. I followed a sportsman 570 up a trail this weekend that was so tight he was having to back up on the switch backs to go up them and I followed the whole way.

Same width as the xp900 64 inches

I have both a Commander and a Maverick. To put it simply, I never want to drive my Commander. As for the size, these pictures will give you an idea. The Mav is a little bit bigger.

The mav is very pretty nimble, I go places where S's go with ease, Now you cant mind a few scratches you will get from the brush. Between the mav body being wider and the black plastic, it really shows scratches, You are going to have plastic rash from woods ridding, just all a part of it

Good looking Mav. What light bracket are you running? I like how the bar gets tucked underneath.

That's no joke. After my first trail ride in my Mav, I almost had a heart attack, but you just have to get used to it.

That's why I bought the all white mav...

Thanks guys for the info. Thanks Giles for the pictures, I tried to search the net for a picture that showed both next to each. All the input is appreciated. Now one last question. When trail riding, even in tight trails, which would you guys like to be driving? Commander or maverick? I have drove a maverick but not in the woods. I love the power and ride that's why I want to go maverick. I just don't want to have a problem on the trails.

I have a Mav and my bro has a commander. We trail ride all the time without issue. He always says he wishes he had my suspension. They are both good in the trail but the Mav is way smoother. As long as you aren't trying to squeeze between 63.5" trees you should be fine.

 

[maverick x rs]

Same width as an xp 900 but more tall
Thats not an issue...

 

[Giles333]

The thinner the better if you are trying to go anywhere tight but in the end I would rather drive my Maverick and not go into the tight areas. But I haven't had a single issue yet where i wouldn't take the Mav into the same areas as my Commander.

Well, except where a winch is needed!!! Haven't installed one on the Mav yet.

You could always go to the xxc it's on 60 inches wide

My xrs is great in the woods! If you're going to ride trails, get yourself the sport low harness and you'll never look back! Purchase with confidence!

I just put my X XC up in the for sale section. It sounds perfect for what you want to do. It's a trail beast. Best of both worlds for what it sounds like you are doing.

 

[JGlover]

If you ride with the group described above, you need the X XC, in my opinion. I have one for sale. Way better on tight trails than an X RS.

I just bought the roll cage tabs sold on the Rigid website and welded them to the front roll bar. Position the tabs where you want them so the light bar sits where you want it and weld them on.

I had planned to get one then went and bought the HMF exhaust instead. I have a Warn XT4000 on my Commander so hopefully that will be enough if I get stuck.

 

[jhawker670]
