SARA PRICE UNVEILS RIP & DIP EDITION CAN-AM MAVERICK R BUILD

On Oct 15, 2024

In a bold move, professional off-road racer Sara Price is proud to announce the debut of her first ever Can-Am Maverick R X RS build, titled the Rip & Dip Edition built by Alsup Racing Development. Designed specifically for her Dakar Rally training, fun having and pro stock production classes. This vehicle combines Price’s technical expertise with the unparalleled off-roading experience of the 240HP Can-Am Maverick R and its new DCT 7 Speed Transmission.

Ultimate All around build, Built for the Dakar Challenge

Price’s Can-Am Maverick R ‘Rip & Dip’ Edition is purpose-built and outfitted to withstand the demands of Dakar Rally training as the main focus. As the first American female to win an FIA stage at the world’s toughest off-road race, Sara brings her very own insights as to what it takes to compete at the world-class level.

Drawing on her championship-winning experience, the ‘Rip & Dip’ Edition features advanced instruments such as the RNS TripMaster GFX-one of the most sophisticated rally navigation devices and trip meters available-it provides unparalleled precision for road book navigation in the most demanding environments.

This edition combines upgrades designed to withstand treacherous terrains while balancing agility, durability, and endurance. Whether you’re preparing for a race, enjoying open desert rides, or tackling the challenges at Rip & Dip Ranch, this versatile machine is built to elevate every adventure.

‘’After receiving my New Can-Am Maverick R off the showroom floor, I knew I needed a vehicle that could do it all but most importantly wanted a comfortable vehicle with the best components and well versatile. I’m a big believer in simple lightweight builds without unnecessary weight, and with my main focus of being able to train and being prepared for rally-raid, the Maverick R ‘Rip & Dip’ Edition is exactly that. To also get to combine our passion project of Rip & Dip Ranch that we hope to formally release in 2025, this build is by far my most favorite, not to mention the effort of Mitchell Alsup who made it come to life and our partners who offer only the best products for this platform! ’’ said Price.
