The UTV wars are alive and well, and you need to look no further than Polaris and Can-Am for proof. Meanwhile, although ATVs are seemingly dwindling in their presence as of late, ever-evolving (and improving) machines from the duo are keen to disprove the lack of excitement about the category. Can-Am is up to volley the next best thing into the market by releasing its 2025 models like the new Maverick R Max and Outlander 850 / 1000R. These fresh takes on classic Can-Am machines could be winning the match this time around, but we'll let you tell us what you think. Nonetheless, this is proving to be the golden age of powersports off-roaders.

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.

Eryk Goczał, the youngest winner of the Dakar Rally (age 19), took a little spin in his 240-horsepower Can-Am Maverick R through Energylandia, an amusement park located in Zator, Poland, which is owned by his father, Marek Goczał, who also competes in the T3 category at Dakar. The video was produced by MCH Photo who followed the Goczał family at the 2024 edition of the Dakar Rally where both Eryk and his uncle, Michal, were disqualified for using a non-permitted part on their Taurus T3 Max challengers - discovered during the rest day in Riyadh. Although the disqualification was certainly a setback for the Goczał family and their Dakar efforts, that didn't stop young Eryk from taking advantage of his family's property, ripping through the empty amusement park like Ken Block in his Can-Am Maverick R! What would you do if someone handed you the keys to a Can-Am inside of Energylandia?!
