Two new Can-Am off-road buggies launched in UAE

2016 Can-Am Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo

MTM Powersports have launched two new high-performance dune-buggies in the UAE, the limited edition 2016 Can-Am Maverick X rs 1000R Turbo and the 2016 Can-Am Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo.

These type of buggies are know as Side by Side Vehicle (SSV). The Can-Am SSVs are supposedly very popular in the UAE, which is why the manufacturer, Canada-based Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), carried out tests of the Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo in the local deserts during the development stage.

The two-seater Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo became the first SSV to be fitted with a turbocharged engine and it is still the only turbocharged SSV proven in the harsh UAE desert conditions. The new 2016 model has been upgraded so that the engine now delivers 131 hp, a 10 hp increase over last year’s model.

Highlight features for the Maverick X ds 1000R Turbo include a stronger roll cage, tougher suspension components, bead-lock wheels, sturdy supportive seats with real upholstery and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. This SSV is also available in the 4-seater model, the Can-Am Maverick Max X ds 1000R Turbo. The price for this one starts at AED 96,500.

The Limited Edition Maverick X rs 1000R Turbo was originally planned for release in the North American market only, but MTM Powersports claims they are bringing it to the UAE due to strong customer demand. This SSV has a specially tuned rear shocks for fast dune driving, a Yoshimura slip-on exhaust, 4-point safety harnesses and a tubular rear bumper. The price for this one starts from AED 101,000 for the two-seater version.
