From reading the specs, I suspect the only difference will be the color. Have to wait until sleddin season is done now.

By looking at the specs...I still don't believe it has anything on the XP. Sure it will probably win a drag race. That's it. Rock crawling, high speed trails, jumping, my prediction is the XP will still dominate. Their 4 wheel drive is still seriously lacking compared to ANY other brand.

How come?

The standard Viscolock front end is great in mud, dirt and sand, but sucks for rock crawling because it has to slip before it locks up. The QE Visco locks nearly instantly, but is available only in powersteering equipt machines right now....which isn't available for the 1st year Maverick. Gotta have something to add for year 2 eh.
I wouldn't call their 4 wheel drive system "seriously lacking" by any stretch. In fact, for mud and loose conditions it is far superior.

rock crawling is the only time the visco will not be as good as the full locker. the new QE diff engages within a quarter turn of the wheel. the suspension is far superior in design compared to the XP.

the maverick does not have a qe differential or powersteering. The stock visco can be trying in tehnical terrain.

As a can am fan I'm seriously disappointed they didn't put a qe or powersteering into the maverick. Seems seriously half assed attempt at making a premium product. They have the technogy already developed and to not utalize it is stupid. Wait a year for them to upgrade. Then next year wait to what's next. Too each their own. Ill be buying something in the spring. Prob not a can am which is hard for me to say
