What stands out to me about these videos of the new R Is the fact that there are multiple cars, being driven hard (even up to 100mph), by at least a few top drivers, pushing the cars...and no issues/breakdowns. Contrast that with Speed's rollout of the first 10 cars, driven easy, single file...with several breaks and none of them allowed to go home.

I noticed Cleetus hitting over 100 and was thinking
he is self admittedly not a big off-road driver ( sxs bog last week ) and I was wondering what might happen when the general population hops in one of these and balls it up in an wash ?
lets face it self control and common sense are no longer the norm lol

we lost the three wheelers to gov help I wonder if the gov will get involved with the power output ?

That could be a concern.

Maybe they limit the top speed lower which I bet will be the case with what we get now or soon after.

Agreed but when I hit 85 ( speed limited?) my 23RR merging into traffic I was caught off guard

sally hittin 103 may have a real problem on her hands since even with better handling non of these has crash absorption

Its only about 8-10 MPH faster than the current X3, so it not much different

 

I dont think that will be the case.. They said the car will do 150KPH/95+MPH... It will stay there when released.

 

As I've said before, I see no way around eventual government intrusion. When mistakes happen (which they inevitably do off-road), things get bent at 40mph; but people get hurt (or worse) at 80+mph. It's sad to say, but it's likely that many SxS owners really shouldn't be SxS owners.

 

Condition yourself to accept the inevitable that the government will need to protect us from ourselves?
No thanks.
I’ll keep fighting.

 

Not "conditioning" myself at all, just seeing the writing on the wall, as I've "been there, done that" before. If we don't take responsibility for ourselves, the government WILL do it for us. Unfortunately, many are already perfectly happy letting government take care of them; it's a slippery slope that we are well down already. Pretending otherwise won't make it go away.

 

Listen friend I mean no disrespect to you at all, this is not a personal attack nor do I wish to belittle or demean you in the least.

Yes you are conditioning yourself and even conditioning others reading to just “accept the inevitable” or see the “writing on the wall”.
You are referring to the false narrative that we are all one and that we should just accept the notion we need to be ready to accept the restrictions on our personal freedoms because someone somewhere is going to do stupid things.
It’s like Obama continually saying “that’s not who we are”!
That way of thinking is the key to breaking down and taking away liberty.
The anti-gun arguments are framed exactly the same way.

Yes there are “stupid“ people. They are the exception rather than the norm.
My experience in off roading of all types is that 99.9% of the people are great and would do anything to help their fellow off-roaders. How many people you have never met will loan you tools, stop their own ride, go get you parts or even flat out give you parts to help in distress?

I agree with most of what you are saying but things are different now. Governments are increasingly looking to restrict people’s rights in so many areas, often completely unwarranted. I would say it’s mostly on one side of the political spectrum but the other side is also doing it just in different areas. Real freedom is rapidly disappearing all over the world and it’s pretty alarming. I’m not sure even voting for the “right” person is even possible anymore.

reality is we vote for the side that isn’t playing politics with the Ukraine situation. Amazing how the side that loves to go to war changes their mind on this because the other side is for getting to a resolution as it needs to as nato country’s are right there. And no one is looking for ww3 here. I am 2nd generation Ukrainian American and I’ll tell you know one way or the other the borders will be restored. We can try and work it out. Or we go the completely foolish way of abandoning Ukraine like the big orange wig wearing freak wants to do and my country is erased and then they step foot in Poland and we are obligated to send all of the military over there and we get WW3. If you agree with just handing Russia parts of Ukraine the. You should have no issue of Mexico taking all of Arizona and let’s say California up to glamis.

seems we all forget exactly how ww2 started and the wording of why to invade Austria by Hitler. “ German speaking citizen's of Austria were being persecuted by Austrians. Wait why did Russia say they entered Donbas and Lugansk regions of Ukraine ? Because Ukrainian speaking Ukrainians were being persecuted by Ukrainian speakers. Well real interesting that everyone in ukraine speaks Russian maybe 20% speak Ukrainian. I lived in the donbas region for all of 2017. I can speak Russian not Ukrainian. If I could only speak Ukrainian I would have had to have my girlfriend translate everything. This is all BS and now let’s look back at if we would have joined ww2 once everything went sideways. Hitler would have been shut down and the event of ww2 would have been minimal.

I own more guns than anyone on this site I hunt wolfs Oct thru april. So any of you want to think liberal about me you’re wrong. Everyone should be smart enough to vote for the person trying to not have thing escalate further. Not an orange soda can wearing a wig who … did an amazing job in North Korea lol. And only wants the win for the notch on his belt. And if he thinks he will just give away the territory Russia is in now to stop this. That’s going to be pretty funny seeing as 33 million people have had their country ripped apart and have nothing to go back to. Don’t ever want to be in a fight with someone who has nothing to loose and what they did have they have already lost it.

not to worry the orange fat wig wearing disaster literally can’t win the election. You think it was stolen from you before. Well if that’s true which it isn’t. You think they wouldn’t do 2x more this time?

 

maybe the Gov will just set a speed limit for all off pavement travel on their controlled lands , easier than verifying HP

 

Next up airbags.

 

More $$$$ plus the inevitable recalls

 

Or Self Driving SXS.... lol... Hop in, enter the location you want to go (Swing set) and sit back and relax... I could even take a nap on the ride, arriving refreshed! Wonder how the computer will respond to hitting the swing-set jump at 50+.. "DAVE, THIS IS A BAD IDEA!!!!"

 

I don’t think we will need to worry about it to be honest. Within 10 years or so they are going to mandate no gas or diesel engines of any kind allowed to be made so it’s game over anyway.

 

We only have 5-10 more years of freedom in this country left anyways. Might as well enjoy it.

Although I believe this... SHUT YOUR FILTHY MOUTH!!!! LOL

 

Vote accordingly people, that goes for more than just USA. Our brothers up north and across the pond as well.

 

Now you guys complain that the R is too fast? Come on! It's not a toy it's a powerful machine. You need to respect the power and be smart driving it.

 

I don’t think it’s too fast but the government nannie’s surely will if it gets on their radar.

 

I think you missed the point. Tim

I think I missed it too.What is the point?

 

No one c

I think I missed it too.What is the point?

That there are too many stupid people out there.

 

Gun control is what came to mind for me. So should all vehicles on the road be governed to 70mph.?

 

They can limit the top speed all they want. Ppl will just tune and delete it. It called natural selection. The ppl that shouldn’t go that fast will fix the problem them self. Because you know the same ppl won’t be wearing helmets or any other protective gear. Be out there in there half bill hat and flip flops.

 

The last few previous years have been difficult to get into.

I bet this new one has even better encryption. I hope we can get in, but it may be expensive and or impossible.

Tim

 

I’m sure the tires that come on the new R are speed rated to how ever fast it can go. And after that any changes you make from factory is your problem. Just like on cars and trucks

 

My buddy Rick has bought, built, and flipped several OG Broncos. This one has a 351W stroked to 408(?), Tremec 6 speed, etc.

 

Well I just pre-ordered the new car with smart-shox. Dealer said December delivery is what Can-Am told them. I guess I’m about to finally be part of the Can-Am family lol

 

Congrats! I am happy for you. Sounds like a nice Christmas gift. Did you get the triple black color?

 

some wheel bearing info, check it

2024 Can-Am Maverick R suspension

youtube.com

 

Pulled the trigger on a black maverick r xr s with sport shocks the essentials package got for msrp plus $1500 for freight, assembly, whatever other fee’s they have. Have bought from them before so went to my sales guy and said you know what I want. And he looked confused like I could see in his head does he want a pro r ? And was then like the new new maverick R and I’m like really of course and I’m not paying these crazy ass idiot fees you know me I sit here and complain till it’s not worth having me in the dealership loudly complaining about how I spend 50k in service on each car but I end up buying them from another dealer that gives me either no fees or a huge discount. And for him to drop it to 1500 like instantly and I guess being an ordered car not one they bought. Because I think a lot of people are going to want this yellow and black one. And dealers ordered those. And they had a lot of stock from pro r’s to x3 max x rs turbo rr sport shocks like multi of all the cars pretty much even the crazy Polaris weird 6 seater looking thing. I did the deal in 2 min literally. Oct delivery said first couple weeks. So we’ll see. Also talked to someone at zrp I know and they are getting me and I paid for black zrp/Apex rims and 35in bfg’s. Will leave it like this for now. Not sure what else I could do. But the videos really sold it and the zrp rims and 35’s and dj’s front tire land video and across the water shocked me something didn’t explode on impact blew me away.

will post pics when I have it in hand.

 

 

@LBR can this get cleaned up? it going to turn into a sh!t show really quick. maybe start a new thread for this duscussion (not that is not relevant) but it doesn't relate to the discussion.

 

Yes there are “stupid“ people. They are the exception rather than the norm.

Lol

 

I said my peace. And so did you. I’m leaving it there. There is no reason to change the thread. Funny how no comment on shut this down about how the stupid people are breading more… (prove it) that we all gave up our freedom when it came to Covid.( go to a hospital full of dr’s and family with loved ones who died and complain to them your mad because you had to wear a mask on an airplane) plus numerous underhanded vote this way if you want your freedoms restored( laughable )

There is no silver bullet.

The hilarity in saying vote for your freedoms as you turn a blind eye to a country that is having its freedom taken from them. They are loosing not only their country but their freedom.

 

So glad there is an ignore button.

 

Here is the video that shows how massive this thing is. Check it out:
