    My miles are a mix of dunes, desert, and some years Baja. After every trip I open up the cover and blow out the clutches. Part of my process when I clean my SXS. I try to change my belt out every 1000-1500 miles. Last belt only lasted a short time under 500 miles due to my clutches being...

    Can't go by years as a lot of SXS owners barely do more than 500 miles a years. LOL! Also desert and trail miles are a lot easier on belts than dune miles. Best I have done is 2800 miles on a XP1000 belt and my first Can Am went just over 2,000 miles.

    Heat is my guess as well. 700 miles is not a ton of miles on a belt unless those are race miles. LOL! Away from the dunes a belt should last 1500 or more miles.

    Belts do strange things. Maybe it stretched with heat and hit the inner clutch cover. Dave would have to look and see if there are rubber marks on the inner cover. I am still sticking to heat and delamination. I have shredded belts, snapped them in small pieces, had one with missing chunks...

    Changing a belt is only a pain in the ass if the stands get wrapped up in the clutches. Otherwise out in the dunes or desert it is super easy and can be done in 20 minutes. If you are riding in dry environments you can remove most of the clutch cover bolts and run 4 of them.

    The belt delaminates like a tire. Heat and belt slippage is 100% the cause of that damage. I chunked a belt like that trying to tow my friend's heavy Colorado Sand Truck.

    If they have stop rides someone would of piped in by now about it. Still impressive they have built 100,000 units across the multiple models since 2019. They only have a tiny part of the market share.

    That was a quiet 100,000 units built. Impressive and a good example of what a well run company can do.

    Mav R races in the turbo class or it can be raced in the unlimited class with the Pro R. That is why you see some Can Ams in the 2900 with the Pro R and some in the turbo class.

    Not all the desert UTV racers run out and get the latest model. The guys racing the Mav R have been doing well. Phil Blurton won the turbo class at the Baja 1000.

    Thoughts on maverick R 4 seat vs 2025 normal 4 seater

    Mav R has a model with Smart Shocks which is their version of the live valve. I drove my friend's Mav R with the set up and was pleasantly surprised how well it worked. Not quite to the level of the Polaris Live Valve on the Pro, but certainly getting closer to it. I had previously driven a...

    Thoughts on maverick R 4 seat vs 2025 normal 4 seater

    The bolt holes for the front suspension did not wallow out with your a-arm bushings? I take it you mostly cruise when you are out and about in the desert. If you do end up with a Mav R I would recommend the smart shock model so you have adjustability of the shocks with a push of a button.

    Thoughts on maverick R 4 seat vs 2025 normal 4 seater

    With a X3 your initial buy in is $10K less. However, you need a gusset kit for the front end, lower a-arms, shocks need to be sprung and valved, and radius rods. There goes part of the $10K you saved. You still need audio no matter the car. The Mav R you don't need gusset kits, radius rods...

    Thoughts on maverick R 4 seat vs 2025 normal 4 seater

    The Mav R suspension works better than even tuned suspension on a X3. The car drives a lot better than the X3. There is zero steering feedback in the Maverick R. The car accelerates really fast.
