I believe it’s only a few weeks until the on-line dealers meeting, just wondering Wtf anyone thinks is about to happen/change for the 2024 lineup. I’m waiting to buy a new XMR RR
What should change on the Mavs anyone dead against anything currently bugging them?

Wasn't that on a pre-production car? Even if it was a production model, anything can break under the right circumstances. Haven't seen any R's on fire, though!

The anti-CanAm people will grab on to anything they can to try to downplay the major market upset this new R is going to do to other brands. New engine technology, new transmission technology, new suspension technology... The more I see of this car, the more I believe that CanAm didn't just raise the bar, they put it on the roof. It is going to take years for others to catch back up.

That's right. Just like when the X3 came out, this thing is wayyyy beyond everything else on the market right now.

The biggest concern I have is the frame, it is still the same material and the same thickness. While I like a lot of the innovation they are doing my concern that the frame will still crack is real. Time will tell and I will wait too see.

The frame is the same material. DP980.

The frame is the same thickness as the newer X3 when they made the the upgrade to the thickness I believe it was 30 percent thicker.

I have not seen any issues with the newer chassis.

I see no reason to expect the frame is anything of concern.

I plan to do a cage though.

Didn't they change the shape of the frame somewhere? I thought I read something about a V.

So have we seen frame cracking issues with the '22/'23 X3?

Amazing how some of you are bitching about a problem you have zero evidence of on the new R. The fact is that this new car has set the standard, and with the engine, trans, suspension technology, I'm gonna assume that the engineers are confident that the new chassis will hold up to the new performance. If there are weak points, they will show up in due time. Until then, it's kinda stupid to complain about something that hasn't happened.

I literally said something about the control arms in which 2 separate breaks have occured, and said that hopefully the R didnt have the same issues as the X3. My god the people on this forum are so sensitive. Christ.

Not good, 3 to 5 years of testing depending on who you believe. These issues should not be happening
Btw. I did not see the other post. I am definitely not the other guy that got banned. I have monitored the site for a while, but just have not posted. Now that I’m moving to Maverick R , I decided to jump in and get others feedback and also add what I can.

What issues? A couple of broke parts from possibly pre-production cars driven by who the hell knows?

Not sensitive at all, simply pointing out the hypocrisy. First, there were complaints about the looks of the front suspension. Now that it seems to have grown on most, there are complaints about the frame cracking even though there is zero evidence of such? As for the 2 A-arm breaks; we know nothing about "how" those breaks occurred, or whether those were pre-production units or not... and at 100mph, things can break. How many X3's taco'd their a-arms at significantly lower speeds? It's now been shown/proven that the '22+ frame material IS thicker. And while the frames may "look" similar, as an engineer I know that small changes can make big differences.

It's one thing to wonder about certain aspects of the car, it's another to complain about things that haven't occurred, and may never occur (which seems to be the dominant flavor over the last few pages). JMO.

Remember some people bought a turd Pro R so they have to try to talk smack about the new state of the art.

I'm a Pro R owner, 1 of only two that I know of on here, you don't see me talking smack. In fact, check out post 2172, I was one of the first few talking about how good I think it will be, even as a Pro R owner, imagine that.
I learned at a young age, be loyal to who is loyal to you. BRP and Polaris are not loyal to me, I buy what I think will be the best for me, not what is talked about being the best.
And for the record, the Pro R is far from a turd.

I assume that you might be talking about Mega, just remember, he owned an X3 and offered a lot of information on this forum from the start. He answered a lot of my questions when I was a newb.

I never saw anyone single you out.And false information is false information, no matter who it is.

The metal is torn. No metal withstand all impacts.

I saw you said it shouldn't be happening after 5 years of testing but am assuming you meant the arm broke.

That just didn't make sense as a wreck is not a failure of a product or a lack of testing.

A lot of bullying on this forum lately. I just said cheap parts. Let’s pull a wheel bearing and have a look. New car should have new tech.
The same ol bearings and u joints with the same ol ball joints just ain’t gonna cut it for 50 grand.
Yes I can buy any car I want, I expect more, is that so bad?
You don’t have to be going 50-60 MPH for things to break. Riding around in sugarsand is way different than rocks and mud.
Guess I’ll just move along, this is a West coast discussion

So having an opinion during a discussion or not agreeing with someone is bullying? Wow,pretty thin skin. I'm an East coast rider,99% of it in Southern WV. I had to replace the original shitty front wheel bearings and upper ball joints at 11k miles. Yea,cheap parts.

I’m asking for a taper style for side load. The double roller is weak. Axles are weak, Drive shafts are weak and by the photos, suspension is weak. Frame cracking?

The machines of 20 years ago were small and weak but they were proportionate for their parts. Put 200HP on these components now and it’s a different story. Rigors of racing, spirited trail running and the addition of mud wreaks havoc on suspension components.
I merely stated that I wanted more out of my purchase, not picking fights, not getting blown up, just expecting more from 20 Years worth of development in the industry.
Hell, this new machine is probably 5 years old at least from the drawing board. What’s next can am? Everyone here wants me to be excited….
