Flex Test: Can-Am Maverick Sport XRC vs Polaris RZR XP Rocks & Trails Ramp Travel Index (RTI) Test
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 авг 2024
- Wondering which factory rock crawler has a better Ramp Travel Index (RTI) score? Well...we created a fairly scientific test to see which of these two machines flexes better stock, with the front sway bar disconnected, and with the rear sway bar disconnected. Who do you think will win?
If you are in the market for a new UTV capable of both trail riding and rock crawling, we've got a great comparison for you! We took the 2020 Polaris RZR XP 1000 Trails and Rocks Edition and the 2020 Can-Am Maverick Sport X RC to Anthracite Outdoor Adventure Area (AOAA) in Coal Township, PA to run a heads up comparison of both machines. Both UTV's performed incredibly well. This video will provide you with a taste of the action and then we break down the specifics of each UTV/SxS, with a specific discussion about engines, transmissions, suspension, wheels and tires, dimensions, and creature comforts. In the end, we provide our thoughts on each machine's strengths and what we feel they'd be most capable of doing.
At the end of the day, the amount of technology that has gone into both of these amazing UTV's is incredible! You won't go wrong buying either one, but if you are a discerning consumer, we'll provide you with all the details you'll want to make the best decision about purchasing.

The CANAM XRC has "A ARMS" all the way around, and the RZR has "A ARMS" on the front, and "TRAILING ARMS" at the rear, so the RZR will definitely have more suspension travel. However, when actually rock crawling, the RZR Trailing arms can hit rocks and the arms will slide on the rocks, while the CANAM with A Arms will not hit the rocks in most cases.
We don’t disagree. Check our other videos out. We’ve had both machines out doing extensive crawling.
So what happens when you trap a rock between the body and rear canam A arms...right, that's why you got trailing arms...
@@MS-gr2nv I've done a lot of rock crawling with my Maverick Sport XRC, and this has never happened! It would have to be a HUGE rock in order for that to happen!
A very excellent and comprehensive comparison! For those with the Can-Am 64" class MavS Xrc wanting to improve RTI and articulation without disconnecting sway bar links (or fully removing those bars), be aware that the smaller diameter OEM bars from 60" class MavS are direct replacement (new smaller ID rubber bushings also required) with significant overall improvement in articulation plus seat-of-the-pants ride quality.
Specific details with results and pictures can be viewed in my related thread topic here:

thanks for the comment!
Thanks for making the video, some of these videos are difficult to find for particular vehicles
Please test fully disconnected. I will be interested to know your impression of how they feel/do. Might even be a good idea to make a climb connected vs disconnected. Thanks for the great content!
Russell Meeker we did do them fully disconnected
I was referring to your upcoming trail test. Hope to see some on trail testing disconnected and hear what you think comparatively. I have a particular interest as I am looking at these to options for some CO crawling.
@@russm6759 Ah...gotcha! Hoping to get the two out crawling within the next few weeks before the weather goes south.
I can pretty much tell you the Polaris is going to flex more than the Can Am. That being said, the a arms on the Can Am give it better clearance and in turn, should help keep it from hanging up as much as the trailing arms on the Polaris. It should be interesting...
Wait a minute. Did you pull out SolidWorks just to find the cosine of your ramp setup?
Doesn't everyone do that?
I'm all for a good rock crawling video! I was so rutting for the can am but that rzr is beyond amazing.
The RZR crawls really well! Don't forget to check out our videos of it in action!
A rzr is great my dad just got one like 2 months ago
These are impressive
Great review! I’m looking very seriously at a Polaris Rocks and Trail right now. Actually found one on a showroom floor! You didn’t go into your thoughts about build quality or fit & finish for both machines. I have a Honda Talon X right now which has some great attributes and is very capable. But for slow trail riding and climbing the touchy throttle, constant abrupt shifting up and down, and the stupid firm suspension make it a poor choice for the way we typically ride. Good info!
This particular RZR model is particularly good in slow-speed situations like rock climbing.
I have a 2019 Xrc,I just zip tied the front sway bar then if I want to reconnect for trails I easily can.
That makes me nervous. Would be cool to try out one that connects/disconnects easily.
I have a 18 Trail and rocks I run the shock therapy rear sway bar links they really help.
I'll have to check those out. Do they allow you to quick disconnect the swaybar link?
When disconnecting the sway bar links what are you sacrificing? Just body roll on trails and rock crawling or just higher speeds?
Stability and safety. Without the sway bars, you get a ton of body roll. That's a really bad handling characteristic in any situation besides crawling.
How high was the final razor measurement? Off the ground?
I’ll have to check my notes and get back to you. I didn’t mention it in the video.
cool vid.... just curious.... do they have the same size tires exactly? It looks like the Maverick has larger tires which would help that car in this test.
They are both 30" tires. I never measured circumference for a true measurement though.
Seemed the Polaris crawled up the ramp better...
Further for sure....
Would softening the clickers help?
Nope....that’s more for high speed compression than flex
I thought “flex” test was something totally different. 💪🏼💪🏼
If I was talking body building stuff...I'd have called in reinforcements like you Greg!
