2026 Can-Am Maverick R X RS with Smart-Shox Dusty Navy

2026 Can-Am Maverick R X RS with Smart-Shox in Dusty Navy is an extreme-performance sport side-by-side available at MotoMember, engineered for drivers who want 240-horsepower turbocharged Rotax® performance, a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, advanced semi-active suspension, and serious capability for high-speed desert terrain and demanding off-road recreation. As one of the premium Maverick R configurations, the X RS with Smart-Shox combines the wide, aggressive Maverick R chassis with FOX® Live Valve Gen 3 suspension technology and sophisticated drivetrain controls. Finished in Dusty Navy, this machine delivers a distinctive appearance that complements its competition-inspired engineering.

The Maverick R X RS is built for experienced off-road enthusiasts who prioritize acceleration, suspension performance, stability, and control across rough terrain. Its 999cc Rotax® 999T turbocharged three-cylinder engine produces 240 horsepower, while the 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission delivers direct, rapid gear changes without relying on the conventional belt-driven CVT found in many sport UTVs.

Smart-Shox™ adds another dimension to the X RS platform. FOX® Live Valve Gen 3 semi-active suspension technology continuously manages damping to help the vehicle respond to changing terrain and driving conditions. Combined with massive suspension travel, a wide stance, substantial ground clearance, and large off-road tires, the X RS is designed to maintain composure when speeds increase and terrain becomes increasingly demanding.

The 2026 Can-Am Maverick R X RS with Smart-Shox starts with one of the most significant features of the Maverick R platform: its 240-horsepower Rotax® 999T engine. The turbocharged three-cylinder powerplant is engineered to provide substantial acceleration and sustained performance for demanding recreational environments.

Rather than pairing that engine with a traditional belt-driven continuously variable transmission, Can-Am uses a 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission. The DCT provides actual gear ratios and rapid shifts, creating a direct connection between engine output and the wheels. For drivers accustomed to conventional sport UTVs, the transmission is one of the defining differences of the Maverick R.

Paddle shifting gives the driver additional control over gear selection when desired. This can be particularly useful when setting up for corners, managing steep terrain, or keeping the engine in the desired portion of its power range. Launch Control further emphasizes the performance-focused nature of the platform.

The X RS configuration is designed around high-speed off-road performance. A wide stance and long-travel suspension provide the foundation for stability when crossing rough desert terrain, navigating whoops, or carrying speed through sweeping sections.

Smart-Shox™ technology makes this particular X RS even more sophisticated. FOX® Live Valve Gen 3 semi-active suspension continuously adjusts damping according to vehicle inputs and terrain conditions. Instead of requiring the driver to choose one fixed shock setting for an entire ride, the system can adapt suspension behavior as conditions change.

That adaptability is valuable because high-performance off-road terrain rarely remains consistent. A single ride can include relatively smooth sections, repeated whoops, rocks, hard impacts, elevation changes, and slower technical areas. Smart-Shox is designed to help maintain an appropriate balance between comfort, chassis control, traction, and resistance to harsh impacts.

Heavy-duty forged-aluminum suspension components contribute to the Maverick R's distinctive chassis design. The substantial suspension architecture is immediately visible from outside the vehicle and reflects how heavily the platform is focused on maintaining wheel control during aggressive off-road operation.

Smart-Lok™ technology helps manage front differential behavior when four-wheel drive is required. This gives the driver additional traction capability when conditions become loose, steep, rocky, or unpredictable, allowing the Maverick R to transition from high-speed open terrain into more demanding sections.

Dynamic Power Steering helps manage steering effort, while the FOX® steering damper adds another level of control when the front tires encounter rocks, ruts, and abrupt impacts. These systems are particularly valuable in a machine capable of traveling quickly across rough terrain.

Protection is equally important on a high-performance sport UTV. Underbody protection helps shield critical components from rocks and trail obstacles, while premium doors and the hard roof provide additional coverage for the occupants.

Inside, the Maverick R's performance cockpit places the driver and passenger low within the chassis. Four-point harnesses help secure both occupants during aggressive riding, while the steering wheel, controls, instrumentation, and seating position reinforce the machine's driver-focused character.

The 10.25-inch touchscreen brings modern technology into the cockpit, providing a large interface for vehicle information and compatible connected functions. Front and rear camera technology can also provide useful additional visibility when maneuvering around obstacles or navigating technical areas where the driver's direct line of sight is limited.

The X RS with Smart-Shox is particularly attractive for riders who spend significant time in wide-open environments. While a narrower sport UTV may make more sense on restricted-width wooded trails, the Maverick R X RS is designed to take advantage of its wide stance, substantial suspension capability, and high horsepower where terrain allows the machine to stretch its legs.

Dusty Navy gives this 2026 Maverick R a sophisticated appearance while retaining the aggressive personality of the platform. The finish works especially well with the exposed suspension components, large wheels and tires, angular bodywork, and low performance stance.

For shoppers searching for a 2026 Can-Am Maverick R X RS with Smart-Shox for sale, this configuration offers an exceptional combination of 240-horsepower turbocharged Rotax® performance, a 7-speed DCT, advanced four-wheel-drive technology, semi-active FOX® suspension, and a purpose-built chassis for serious off-road recreation.

Q: How much horsepower does the 2026 Can-Am Maverick R X RS have?
