VALCOURT, QC, Aug. 20,
2023 /PRNewswire/ - BRP Inc. (TSX: DOO) (NASDAQ:
DOOO) is changing the landscape of the recreational side-by-side
(SSV) category with the all-new Maverick R. Built on the principles
of challenging the status quo and blasting through the barriers of
performance, the 2024 Can-Am Maverick R lineup will forever change
the off-road scene. Designed from the rider down and inspired by
Can-Am's relentless pursuit of performance, the Maverick R touts an
industry-leading 240-horsepower engine, Dual Clutch Transmission
(DCT), unrivaled suspension travel, and a suite of enhanced
technology to take the rider experience to the next level.
"Can-Am believes that progress does not come from standing
still, and the exciting new Maverick R represents our commitment to
creating a machine that will change the industry by smashing
through the confines of current performance and design boundaries,
taking the rider experience to a whole new level," said
Sandy Scullion, President,
Powersports Group at BRP. "With a 240 horsepower powerplant,
state-of-the-art DCT gearbox, and the chassis and suspension to
harness the power, the new Maverick R is truly a race-ready
side-by-side purpose-built for the most demanding riders."
ENGINE &
TRANSMISSION
The heartbeat of the Maverick R comes from an industry-defining
240-horsepower 999T Rotax 999cc turbocharged inline three-cylinder,
four-stroke, fuel-injected engine. Putting the power to the ground
faster and more efficiently than ever before, the Maverick R
utilizes the first-ever Rotax off-road seven-speed DCT design,
automatic or optionally controllable by paddle shifter. This potent
package provides the Maverick R power-to-displacement ratio to
leave the competition in the dust.
Through race proven research and development, the Maverick R
employs an optimized air intake design for easy maintenance and
next-level performance. Dual fuel injectors feed each cylinder,
while the industry's first electronically controlled wastegate
regulates the turbocharger's boost pressure, maximizing performance
throughout the R, no matter the conditions.
Three selectable driving modes – Normal, Sport, and Sport+ – put
even more control into the driver's hands. The Normal driving mode
provides a smooth throttle response, shifts gears through the
seven-speed DCT transmission at 3500-4500 RPM range; the Sport mode
offers enhanced throttle response and shifts gears 8500 RPM; and
the Sport+ mode features Advanced Response Technology (ART) to
achieve peak throttle response performance and shifts gears at 8500
RPM, a highly effective anti-turbo lag system. ART creates preload
to the turbo by cutting one cylinder, delaying the ignition curve,
and maximizing throttle body positioning for maximum airflow. Once
wide-open throttle is applied, the third cylinder returns to firing
and max performance is achieved.
CHASSIS & SUSPENSION
A revolutionary powerplant needs a revolutionary chassis to
handle the unrivaled power. The Maverick R features a high-strength
dual-phase tube steel v-shape chassis and cage for increased
strength, rigidity and optimized vehicle performance. The new
chassis design significantly reduces stress on bolted connections,
including the front and rear suspension components that are
equipped with double-bonded bushings for a more quiet and smooth
riding experience. To keep up with the demands of the
high-performance engine and chassis, the Maverick R has a
class-leading vehicle footprint, measuring 77" wide and a 108"
wheelbase for optimal stability and handling.
A new heavy duty tall-knuckle suspension design prioritizes
rider comfort and performance. The design enables the Maverick R to
achieve its full potential on the trail or the track, with 25" of
travel upfront, 26" in the rear, and 17" of ground clearance. The
unique aerospace aluminum suspension configuration also reduces
stress on components, providing superior bump absorption, increased
torsional rigidity, and improved stability and handling.
An unbeatable combination of Smart-Shox, the newest Fox Live
Valve Gen 3 technology coupled with Fox 2.5 PODIUM and 3.0 PODIUM
shocks, keeps the Maverick R smoothly tracking across the most
treacherous of desert chop. Thanks to Fox's patented electronic
main post and base valve, the Maverick R has six times greater
compression tuning range than any other vehicle on the market.
Making more than 200 real time suspension adjustments per second,
with the ability to change from soft-to hard-valve settings in less
than two-hundredths of second, the Maverick R suspension package
inspires confidence with every brake, acceleration, and corner.
Putting the power to the ground, the Maverick R is equipped with
32-inch Tenacity XNR ITP tires (32x10Rx16) that are mounted to
16-inch aluminum beadlocked wheels. The robust 16-inch wheels also
have the industry's first six-lug, 139.7mm bolt pattern, which is
standard for many automotive trucks, and a required element to
handle the increased power and torque of the new platform. Stopping
power for the Maverick R comes from 265mm discs upfront, gripped by
32mm hydraulic triple piston calipers, while 255mm discs are
gripped by 30mm hydraulic dual piston calipers in the rear.
RIDER EXPERIENCE &
FEATURES
Every detail of the Maverick R was thoroughly scrutinized in the
design and engineering process to ensure an unmatched rider
experience, balancing comfort, performance, quality and
practicality. The cutting edge interior creates an immersive
driving experience with precision ergonomics and 10.25-inch digital
touchscreen display for maximum visibility and control.
The Ergo-Lok cockpit features four-way adjustable seats for the
driver and passenger, with a low seating position and customizable
support options for a premium driving experience. The configuration
of interior and controls offers a seamless, intuitive experience
from the infotainment screen to the telescoping steering wheel with
control keypad. The steering wheel also features supercar-inspired
optional paddle shifters for lightning-fast gear changes. The
intuitive design also carries over to the storage solutions, with a
central sealed storage compartment for cell phones and an
easy-to-reach passenger glove box. Encapsulating the rider cockpit,
sleek one-piece half-doors complement the interior as much as they
do the exterior, with a flush fit that also finishes the bodylines
of the vehicle.
A first for the Can-Am Off-Road lineup, the Maverick R is
equipped with a new 10.25-inch touchscreen display, offering an
intuitive user interface with vehicle performance information,
driving stats, navigation via the BRP GO! app, music, phone
connectivity, and front/rear cameras.
