I cant make up my mind on the 20" travel XDS or 24" travel 72 " wide XRS.

If you lay out a tape the difference between the two isn't as much as it looked on paper.

Do your homework on the rear shock and rear arm differences. You will then go with the 72". Just saying.....

We will need to do some research on trails.. I know over in Morrow County the 72" will never work.. those bridges & gates were just wide enough for the Commander.. We haven't taken the Xds over there and also on the one trail over to Trinity lake at Shasta could be a little tight coming through the trees

The kid part of me wants the bad a$$ baja long travel XRS but the adult side thinks the 20" travel 64" wide XDS would work just fine.
Guess 20" of travel isn't anything to shake a stick at...

I'm at 68.5" , the trails to Trinity was fine, Rattle Snake would be iffy , probably wouldn't want to do it at 68" let alone 72" that said some guys with long travel on there RZR seem to make it everywhere. Just have to make the trail wider. Lol.

Exactly...I'm not into balls out on the sand and where we ride in the desert it will be fine..

Put money down on a XDS X3 today. Five inches more front and 4 inches more rear travel than my old 2015 XDS.
Its going to be a long month...

Dealers are only getting a few in the first order and when they are gone was told not to expect more X3's until January or so.

I'm holding off buying a new machine this time...hurry up and wait.. I will wait and see what other options come out in the next couple of releases

Good idea! The first year is not always the best... The Maverick forum will brutly pick this x3 apart and as usual it will take Can am two years to get the bugs worked out! The improvements made are long over due. Now let's see how it holds up!

Looks like the new Can-Am X3 ran into problems in the silt bed, was hoping to see how it held up for the whole race, that sucks. 20722073

I had ZERO bugs with my 2015 XDS. Family has a 2013 Commander XC with 8k farm used miles thats never seen a dealer other that service. Maverick4me also has never had these bugs you talk about on his 2015 FIRST year XDS.
This isn't Polaris remember.

I must agree with Sandfreak. I have owned 11 different Can-am's since 2006. I have never purchased any extended warranties, and have never had any issues. I always buy their latest release as soon as it is available. Everyone knows that nothing human built is error free, but I believe Can-am is above par compared to other manufactures. Just my person opinion from owner experience as well as working at and with a Can-am dealership for almost over 9 years. :)

[emoji106]🏽 I thought the S3 was the only X3 in the race, didn't know there was an Iron Man out there, good job.
Had to work this weekend, but it would of been cool to go watch the finish in Reno, going to try and do that next year.
PS: only problem I've had with my 16 turbo was a leaky rear shock, Can Am replaced it, other problem is I don't get to ride it as much as I would like too,,[emoji106]🏽

Having my shocks done by CT Race Worx along with running the CT front sway bar on my XDS made a 100% ride and handling improvement.

He looks good in that X3. Just be sure to tell whoever test drives one at Sand Mtn that CanAm turned the power down 700 rpm for the demos. Too many idiots been crashing them I guess.

I'm test driving one at Sand Mountain but will have already drove Jeff's so I'll know if they really have turned the power down !!

They were detuned at St Anthony's and the next week in Glamis also, however there was some guys who wrung them out the week before the St Anthonys run....they were testing with BRP officials and those were the full on tuned machines. Reports were a few of those guys did the test in Glamis and said WTH due to the lacking engine performance.
BRP techs with the Budds software in laptops can make these machine do whatever they want.

Looking good [emoji1417], I had to pick up some parts at Can Am the other day , they had an X3 there so I got to check it out, it looks better in person IMO that in pictures, I liked the interior and the seating position a lot better then my 16.
Gotta give us a ride review Jeff. [emoji1417]

There is a YouTube video of someone demoing one at glamis rolls it and totals it out. I could see them slowing them down after that one

I was at the local Can-Am dealer in Reno today and they only had a 64 inch wide one but I still sat and looked at it for quite a while...
I see the 72 inch wide version in my future after driving it at Sand Mountain on demo day.
