The Can-Am Maverick R has evolved into something akin to a real SCORE race buggy, with 240 horsepower, a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, and more than two feet of suspension travel. It's the real deal, which is reflected in its as-tested price of $45,284.

The 2024 Can-Am Maverick R's 25.0 inches of front suspension travel eats up nose-down landings.

Fully compress the front end, and the upper control arms peek through the bodywork like a Whac-a-Mole.

The turbocharged three-cylinder makes 240 horsepower.

The rear differential is always locked, enabling huge powerslides.

Top speed is governed to 93 mph.

The Maverick R hits 60 mph in 4.2 seconds—on pavement. On dirt, it's not much slower, clocking 5.1 seconds.

The seven-speed dual-clutch automatic is a huge improvement over Can-Am's old belt-driven CVTs.

Manual gearchanges are facilitated by giant shift paddles.

Off-road navigation comes in handy when a machine can theoretically take you 93 miles into the middle of nowhere in one hour. That is, if the fuel doesn't run dry—we saw 8 mpg.

Fox Live Valve adaptive dampers, part of an X-RS package, can adjust compression and rebound damping on the fly.
