Suspension Strength: Maverick R vs. Speed

Good question! And I don't know what the answer is. My guess (and that's all it is.....a total guess) is that he gave that dealer $500 to be one of the first guys in line for one of the dealer floor inventory cars. Either that, or perhaps that dealer paid a full deposit (out of the dealer's pocket) to Speed like Coyne did, and your friend gave $500 to the dealer to have first dibs on the car when it comes in. Those are the only two scenarios I can think of. 🤷‍♂️ I'm wondering if your friend might have more info as I would think (hope?) that he discussed the arrangement with that dealer.
Hey 1 question, a friend put a $500 dollar deposit at a local dealer FunBike Center in San Diego. In your opinion where does he fall in place, he didn’t put the full deposit so is I line for a floor unit or should he been given a MO#
Being as he only paid a $500 deposit to the dealership I would think that it's safe to say his deposit was for one of the dealerships floor models that would be shipped out from SPEED after all preorders were fulfilled. So he has first dibs on a floor model.
 
He already has a deposit on one with his local dealer and he is friends with the people there. He will get the same deal from his dealer. If he did not have a deposit down and one coming by the middle of October he would of snatched up that deal. Coyne said they would have it by November.

Interestingly Coyne is getting 27 of those early Speed UTVs. I asked the sales guy if they were all going to customers that ordered through them and he said half were and the rest will be up for sale. Don't know if that is true and as I thought RG was getting the direct customer cars delivered first.
I'm guessing that Coyne, just like myself, ordered cars and placed the deposit just like any other customer did early. We have 5 units sitting in CA now that a portion will be shipped directly to my dealership, and a couple to Havasu for pickup/riding in early October. We also have more on the water and coming up soon in Master#. That is the reason for dealers getting early numbered cars along with retail customers. Most of ours are sold, but will have a few for sale right away, and a few more scattered in within the next 60-90 days.

Well, that didn't take long.......

Easy to design and cheap to make. CalTech makes some nice stuff and that little piece will be perfect for non-racers.

If you plan of racing S3 Motorsports has one for the front arms they are testing this weekend when they race the Silver State 300. The S3 one has a lot more going on and a lot more money.


Still not sure if a gusset is needed for recreational use. Find out when there are a lot more of them out in the wild.

Have a friend that has one now and a few others that will getting theirs by the middle of next month.

Sure, leave it to the aftermarket to design a Band-Aid for your poorly designed and poorly manufactured A-Arms. Way to go Can-Am. 👍

Well the Maverick R had it's race debut at the Silver State 300 yesterday. Dustin Jones and S3 Powersports took first place over all UTVs and got the overall win too. Mind you there were not many trophy trucks/Spec trucks in this race this year. There was still a good turn out for the UTVs. Blurton took 3rd overall in his Maverick R.

I saw on the tracker Jones hit 105mph during the race.

Not a bad debut for the new platform. They ran the stock suspension components with some gusseting on the lower front arms.

I guess that suspension design works as advertised.
