I have been looking into the canam maverick for the last few weeks and honestly I am surprised at how many riders recommend it for both trail riding and dunes. I am trying to figure out whether the canam maverick really stands out in reliability or if it is more about hype. If you own one, how has your long term experience been? Does it handle mixed terrain well or does it shine more in specific conditions only?
A friend of mine keeps telling me to go for a used model but I am unsure because I want something that can last without major repairs. Is a used canam maverick actually worth it or does the maintenance cost catch up quickly? What upgrades do most owners feel are essential right after buying it?
I am also curious how it compares against similar UTVs in durability and comfort. Does the suspension feel stable when pushing high speed on rough trails? I noticed that StarKnightMT mentioned the importance of choosing the right setup for riding style so I am wondering if the stock configuration is enough.
Anyone who has real riding experience, what would you change if you bought the canam maverick again? What mistakes should a first time buyer avoid?
