Engine & Transmission
The Maverick X3 is powered by Can-Am's Rotax ACE 900, a 900cc turbocharged triple-cylinder engine with an integrated intercooler and high-performance air filter. Output ranges from 135 hp on entry-level Turbo trims up to 200 hp on Turbo RR models. Rather than a dual-clutch gearbox, the X3 uses Can-Am's pDrive primary clutch paired with the QRS-X CVT, tuned for high airflow and reduced belt wear across a wide power band.
