It was a good review.

 

X2!

 

poolaris fanboys added another vid let's see if they say anything other than "this is so weird"; "wow that's weird"; "this is weird"

 

I just watched the video it looks like it’s growing on them a lot based on what they had to say this time. They seem to actually like the machine a lot more in this video and I think Nick replaced his Pro R with it.

I will say the plastic panel that came off during their rip around their own track was a bit concerning and When it comes to the quality of the plastics and things popping loose I hope it’s not a big issue. However I imagine it’s just a simple alignment of the plastics type issue that can probably be fixed easily by tweaking everything a bit.

 

Looks good going around the track other than the ass end wanted to hop up on that one jump. Maybe the jump face is too short causing it.

They seem to be liking it more.

The way it went around the track and whipped around the turns has me thinking the dune review was way off. Let's see what they have to say after they take it to Glamis.

This is two videos and they have not broken any suspension parts on it.

 

Not sure if he was being sarcastic saying they are the authority on SXS's but that's a stretch. I will say, having looked closely at two R's I was considering buying, the body lines not matching is a real thing. It is nearing the 'awful' level. The ghost panel on the left where I believe will eventually be the water neck filler for the windshield fluid reservoir doesn't stay latched, was missing the rubber grommet and the hinge is thin plastic. Panels will be easy to find randomly in the sand dunes.

I like the car more and more, though there are some quality concerns (as well as un-resolved tech issues)

 

Also, on the attitude of the car on jumps is not exactly what I wanted to see, but I do remember them saying suspension in sport mode is what they were running. I hope Sport Plus on jumps fixes that. Rebound looks off.

 

Who the H ever believes anything the unicorn guys comment on. SXSblog guys have been unicorns for years.
I stopped watching them when the X3 was released. Lots of hatred with them..

They have to be stupid just to get peeps to watch their channel.

If you watch the first dune video of sxs blog and the Travis Pastrana/Cleetus videos it jumps pretty well. I think if remeber correctly if you hit that jump in the sxs blog track with any machine it will pop the rear-end up when hit hard.

 

Another Dyno at 200+ to the tires:

 

 

Questions to all. Why is the Mav R compared to the pro R instead of the pro turbo R every video I watch? 1000cc vs 2000cc don’t compete anywhere except the dunes. Why didn’t they run pro R for top speed on dyno to compare? And one last thing. I don’t remember them posting a lap speed for zous’s run in the mav R in there last video?

 

All excellent points.

Obviously the Mav R lap was really fast or they'd be ragging on it. The leave on the Mav R in their drag races looked suspect to me, like they didn't have it in the right mode or something. They didn't top speed anything else because it didn't fit their narrative of "the Mav R is over hyped".

 

I’m not buying the mav r losing to the pro r

 

Unpopular opinion, I just finished watching the 1st video the SXSBlog guys did and I can't figure out what so many are complaining about. I'm not a huge fan of those guys, especially Nick Leonard, the guy is a complete tool with zero mechanical ability, the channel would be vastly improved if he stayed off camera but it was his idea.

They didn't bash on the car that I heard but I'm not emotionally tied to this being the best car ever made as it seems some might be. I heard a lot of praise coming from them about the car overall with some criticism from a 1st impression and they were obviously excited to just get out and drive the thing instead of pouring over the owners manual to find out all the intricacies of the controls. I'd do the same thing lol, start it up and take off driving and figure it out later.

My only guess is because they are the two best machines on the market right now and most buyers use them for recreational use, not racing, so displacement doesn't matter.
Turbo R has a short wheelbase, shorter than an X3, Pro R is closest to the Mav but still 4"s shorter(and 4"s wider,).

I just watched one of their videos also
they sure bashed on the R for its fit and finish and showed some close ups
( mostly plastics) and it having the ( “ rear end try and pass you” on jumps as a typical can am trait )

they just were not as impressed with the R as I had expected, I also am not a big fan of the channels cast but they
do putout a lot of interesting content

The first one at the dunes is super cringey and awkward as they stumble over how much trash to talk

 

can’t find it to get the video title
This was the one where they Nick rips the “ cheeseburger” around and a plastic coolant recovery cover just falls off

I think they may be Polaris fans but I am not 100% sure that they hate Can Am altogether or just a little lol

 

 

Y’all are way too sensitive if that was trashing the Mav R 😂. Leo was the only one that really talked shit and he’s an idiot anyway so I don’t take anything he says seriously.

call it what you want, but I am sure it did not help sales,, they are pretty big sxs influencers IMO and no wants a nose diving car that has poor fit and finish ( their description )

I personally don't put any value in their opinions after they said the Simplisafe security is great lol

Did you see what they were talking about with the poor fit and finish? They weren’t making stuff up to trash the machine, the gaps were all over the place, parts were coming off 😂. Sounds like Matt is still going to buy one and I wouldn’t be surprised if Steve gets one too. That would make 3 on the channel. I suppose if Can Am was really concerned about their opinion throwing off sales they could have invited them to the unveil, I didn’t hear them bitching about getting snubbed but I may have missed it.

 

this is the video I was referring to

After my initial comment these guys dropped a video as well and they seem to give a strong review of the machine with it mostly beating out the Pro R in the desert and at the end of the video they talk about going to the dunes. I’m interested with their take on the car it will be interesting to see.
[/QUOTE]

Once they figure out how to drive the Maverick R and get comfortable with it the reviews will get better. Even from the SXS blog guys. Driving a DCT is much different than a CVT. It is going to be a learning curve for sure.

I do see the Maverick R needing some springs and tuning on shocks. The car should not be bucking in the rear that much.

 

"We're the biggest authority on side by sides, believe it or not..."

Ummm...not.

 

The car does look like it bottoms out very easily and bucks pretty damn hard. They dropped another video today and at the 11:01 mark you can see it. Am I right in thinking the suspension seems relatively soft and setup more for King of the Hammers style racing/rock crawling over jumping dunes? Also would shock tuning fix this thing at the dunes?

 

oh boy, lets hear the excuses now. Rouch riding bronco with bottoming out issues, sounds just like the X3. Maybe someone should design some hydro bumps for the new car.

 

Their last two episodes were Polarass purchases

 

Didn't see any of that behavior in the videos with Pastrana and McFarland hammering on the R in the desert and the dunes. Likely some shock timing would address it. Just hope Can Am has upped the quality of their springs. And keep in mind that on small jumps like that, getting off the throttle too early will result in the ass-end kicking up.

 

Yeah like those guys didn't figure out how to hit a jump wrong or set the suspension to soft to get it to bottom? Riiiiiight

 

Ha! You are another one who takes criticism of the R personally. I think the R is a cool machine, but it's not perfect like you guys think it is. Take off your blinders.

And there you go!

Proved my point again!

Hypocrisy in action!

You have not even driven one yet you know all about it!

There you go. Lots of exclamation points again. I'm not the one getting emotional about this. Why are you afraid of criticism or other people's opinions about the R?

My opinion after seeing some videos of the machine from different people, is

1. The DCT seems to shift good, and puts the power down. I'd rather have a DCT than a belt.
2. The suspension needs some tuning from the factory. Seems to bottom out in the rear, and jumps nose down.
3. The 10" dash is pretty, but has issues like the ski doo version.
4. Seems like it has a lot of steering wheel feedback which the new front suspension was supposed to eliminate.

If those above opinions trigger you, I'm sorry. Sometimes people have different opinions.

Boy they sure changed their tune drastically about the Mav R after Speed pissed them off.

Pretty good video but I give it a thumbs👎 for not including the speed. Can’t see how Robby shuts everyone down with any negative against the greatest sxs ever. His brakes obviously suck and power is at the bottom of the list but the car has potential just not with him being a commie over it

 

I assume maybe they were threatened by speed after the first video which is understandable with them not talking about it. I was thinking speed made you sign a contract to not talk negative about the car which is ridiculous.
