2019 UTV BUYER’S GUIDE: CAN-AM

The popularity of UTVs grows larger each year, and 2019 brought some new heavy hitters to the game! Textron released their impressive Wildcat XX that has one of the best sport suspension systems on the market and pumps 130 horsepower out of a non-turbo engine.

Can-Am released its Maverick Sport line that provided the industry with multiple new two-seaters and a four-seat option. Polaris stepped up in the sport performance category with their impressive RZR XP Turbo S and XP 4 Turbo S that are 72 inches wide and gained more suspension travel compared to their 64-inch counterparts.

Yamaha grew their lineup with their Wolverine X2 model and made great changes to the YXZ1000Rs. As each year passes, the technology improves! In the following pages you will see over 100 different models from utility workhorses to pristine powerhouse machines!
