Rather than winterizing a vehicle for storage, WINTERIZE it for snowy adventures!  

-- High-performance swamp monster -- In the world of high-performance 4x4 quads there are two models that stand at the top of the pecking order. One is the Scrambler made by Polaris, and the other is the Renegade made by Can-Am. The one we'll focus on here is the Can-Am version.  It is the Renegade X mr 1000 of 2018. Dalton Battenfield turned it into an extreme machine with the help of S3 Power Sports. The list of parts include a S3 Power Sports 6 inch lift kit, Fox shocks, RCV axles, XMR series rear…

-- Improving Can-Am's 4-seater UTV --  By the staff of Dirt Wheels Some people have a customized UTV because they feel stuck with it.

In spite of literally being the kid in the UTV candy store, he spends family time in this customized and personalized 2014 Can-Am that he bought new. Anaya is a…

More storage, more cargo, more beef, it's all in the specs of the impressive new 2020 Can-Am Defender Pro. An overlander's dream!

-- Interview with Louisiana's top swamper -- CAN-AM PRESS RELEASE: The thrill of powering through the deepest, gnarliest mud holes on earth doesn‘t come naturally to most people, but Dustin Jones isn‘t most people.

New Lineup of Can-Am Defender Side-by-Side Vehicles Provides the Perfect Work-Hard, Play-Hard Balance

--195-horsepower Maverick X3 and more -- By the staff of Dirt Wheels As the young guns say these days, Can-Am has “no chill” when it comes to improving and pushing the UTV and ATV industry. They just announced a few new models, like the work-ready Defender 6x6 HD10, the Maverick Sport X xc and gave the Maverick X3 line even more go with the 195-horsepower Turbo RR! Their ATV lineup received a lot of change for 2019, so we don’t see many new upgrades this go-round, but we can’t exactly say they needed any this year.…

-- For a wide number of the most popular and best-selling ATVs and UTVs, the heart of the power delivery system is the CVT belt. There are a few extreme ATV riders who are hard on the CVT belts, but time and mileage are the most common reasons to change an ATV’s CVT belt. UTVs are heavier, so they are harder on CVT belts, whether they are high-horsepower sport models or not. No matter what your CVT-motivated machine is, it will need a new belt sooner or later. We based our belt guide on the Polaris RZR XP 1000 model. It is a…

-- On The Rocks UTV Test --  By the staff of Dirt Wheels Can-Am has made certain that Dirt Wheels has been along for the entire rise of the new Maverick line. The first release was the 50-inch Maverick Trail 800 and 1000. Fifty-inch machines are vital for some trail networks, but they are by definition a little limited in appeal, so we were not at all surprised when Can-Am released the Maverick Sport. Using the same basic skeleton and V-twin engine architecture, Can-Am announced the 60-inch-wide Maverick Sport…
