CARB Filings Reveal 2025 Can-Am Maverick R Max Models, New 999cc ATVs
The sport and performance UTV segment has been extremely hot over the last few years and recent news shows it isn't cooling off just yet. Instead, manufacturers are pouring more resources into the category, as is evident by Polaris' updated-for-2025 RZR Pro models and news that has come via the California Air Resources Board (CARB) that show Can-Am is expanding its Maverick R lineup even further for 2025. The documents also show that the big-bore ATV lineup has been revised, too.
Our sleuths found this exciting news on the public CARB website, which you too can explore in your free time should engine sizes and emissions be interesting to you (it is to us). There's an immense amount of information within the domain's confines, so let's focus on what we found is in the pipeline for Can-Am's off-road powersports machines.
As seen in the title photo for this post, Can-Am is cooking up a Maverick R Max line for 2025. It will use the Rotrax 999T engine, which is a wild 999 cc turbocharged triple‑cylinder powerplant. It's the same motor in the non-Max assortment of Maverick R machines, and it touts an enormous 240 horsepower. Can-Am appears to have created four Maverick R Max models: MAVERICK R MAX, MAVERICK R MAX X, MAVERICK R MAX X RS, and MAVERICK R MAX X RS SAS.
Additionally, Can-Am is again revising its big-bore Outlander ATVs. Gone are the 854cc and 976cc engines that lived in the 850 and 1000R; for 2025, both the 850 and 1000R will use the same engine, a new 999cc powerhouse. It's tuned to make different levels of power in the different machines, with 82.1 horsepower for the 850 and 100.1 horsepower for the 1000R. Those are decent jumps over the 2024 850's 78.1 horsepower and 1000R's 91.2 horsepower.
Last but not least, the Outlander 500 and 700 are both getting new trims for 2025. The Outlander Pro HD5 Hunting Edition is no longer, replaced by the Outlander Pro Max HD7 Hunting Edition and Outlander Pro Max XU HD7.
There's no info about this directly from Can-Am just yet, but stay tuned; we expect (and hope) to hear more soon.
