Why it’s the best for trails:
Narrow width (50 inches): Trail-legal in most U.S. states and fits tight, technical trails that wider SxSs can’t.
Responsive handling: Designed for agility in wooded, rocky, and winding terrain.
Comfortable cabin: Ergonomics and seating are designed for long trail days.
Rotax engine options:
Maverick Trail 700: Budget-friendly, 52 hp, solid for casual riding.
Maverick Trail 1000 DPS: 75 hp, better suspension, power steering (DPS), and more suited for advanced riders.
Alternative (If you want more power and don't mind a wider rig):
Can-Am Maverick Sport 1000R DPS
60 inches wide: Not trail-legal everywhere, but gives a more stable, sportier ride.
100 hp: Much more performance than the Trail line.
Upgraded suspension + clearance: Better for aggressive trail riding and rougher terrain.
