I didn’t know it but I was in a market for a new ride.
Well I stopped by the dealer and they had just got in a Maverick XRS and I took it off their hands.
Everything I have has power steering and even though the maverick is not hard to steer it needs it as far as I am concerned.
I put on a set of 30” tires right off the bat did not ride it at all with stock tires.
My XP’s have roof, windshield’s and 29.5 outlaws.
While riding the Maverick I could tell it did not have the pep the XP has even with the larger tires on all of them.
I wanted to know after hearing all the talk about how much faster they were just how much so a friend of mine has a stock xp with the factory 27” tires, we lined them up on a paved road and raced for about a quarter mile and the stock xp put about 3 links on me, I figured the tires would slow it down but not that much, we decided to try it again but to do a rolling start at 15 mph and he still pulled me about 1 ½ links.
I was really surprised but it is what it is.
I will say it is built better and I along with everyone that was there really like the way it looks, it is quite a bit bigger than the xp and sure is more comfortable.
All in all I would not get rid of the XP for the Maverick, however if I was in the market for one and did not own either one I would choose the Maverick just because I am not a speed demon and the fit / finish and the way it is built.
