2024 Can Am line up revealed 8-20-23 Completely revamped Sport with 7 speed DCT?

[JACKAL]

SO all over the interwebs, is a ton of speculation, patents, and test mule shots around 5 months old showing some bizarre suspension setups on all new body frame etc. Patents filed over a year ago for a 7 speed sequential DCT transmission were made, tons of speculation of using a ROTAX turbo unit out of a snowmobile between 975-1300 cc (Rotax has 200 engine setups) and this is an existing engine alllegedly tuned to near 300HP.

Seven-Speed DCT on the Way for Can-Am Maverick

A geared, automotive-style DCT appears to be on the way for Can-Am’s halo sport machine.

Will be interesting to see if ANY of that comes true.

How so?

That suspension arm is dumb

yes, it would limit to 32" tires max accord to those with better pics, however can am benchracing experts on FB are certain that won't make it into production. Other patents have a similar arm up top in front but stays inside wheel area.

Would you look at that!

I have ROTAX motors not turbos, in my sleds and they getty. Not sure how they go in sugar sand and mud. But in the snow, they will leave your hart 200 feet behind you at the last stop sign

Big, triple cylinder horsepower is no good to me if it doesn't have tractable torque. Watching the YXZ videos showed me how useless that peaky, high rpm power is. The Rotax triple sounds similar with the CVT damping the power, maybe to controllable output. Still not interested.

Right. I dont think they will be very good in the summer months. Fast if your racing in the right climate/terrain.
Snow is a completely different demon. Theres no comparison.
My Talon with the Snuff tune is a ripper from hell till i get it on trails with sugar sand or muddy terrain then it becomes no better in most cases than my P1 in that stuff. Well its better but the extra isnt helping me on a monsterus scale like when im on a hard pack trail and able to open her up. Thats when that kind of stuff comes alive

Their "DCT" is suppose to be more of a sequential transmission right? Not really DCT?

Depends upon the rumors being reported.

I understand now, looks weak?

After getting used to Honda's, they all seem rather 2nd rate and under engineered..

I just order a 2024 Maverick R X RS with the Smart Shox, can show up anywhere between October 1st thru February 1st.

Well, look at that!

What is it with Polaris and Can Am and their model designations? RXS RRT x9 WTF

Honda needs to release a BBB p5 model option; High HP, no frills, naked. Only sold at Adult World.

The man is a legend.

 

[Sledder]

Yeah, I really like the Talon and I thought for sure Honda would come out with a Turbo'ed machine with a chassis that would handle whooped out trails. I would really like to drive that Honda factory Racing 4 seat machine Honda modified to dessert race.

I don't own a Can-am anything but have friends who do. On the previous style Commander the starters fail often and they are a NIGHTMARE to get to in the V of the engine AND under the center console! A few things seem well-engineered but overall I find that they do look excessively difficult to work on.

I've ridden in X3s and do NOT like that laid-back Corvette seating position for off-road riding. It's impossible to see the terrain close in front of you.
