Extreme Off-Road Concepts

Can-Am’s Defender Prerunner and Maverick R XRay push side-by-side design

Can-Am has introduced two non-production side-by-side concepts, the Defender Prerunner and Maverick R XRay, as unrestricted studies in extreme off-road design. The Defender Prerunner is built around a six-wheel configuration with beadlock wheels and massive 35-inch off-road tires, creating a heavy-duty platform intended for remote desert race support. Front and rear winches, a front skid plate, and dedicated tool platforms add practical equipment, while a LinQ bed carries a spare tire alongside fuel jugs and shovels. Inside, Sparco racing seats, four-point harnesses, a flat-bottom steering wheel, digital instrumentation, and integrated infotainment give the utility vehicle a motorsport-focused cabin.

The Maverick R XRay takes a lighter approach, using an exoskeleton structure and translucent backlit panels in place of conventional bodywork. Designed around sand dune driving, the two-wheel-drive concept rides on paddle tires and features an active roof spoiler for aerodynamic control. Its illuminated panels shift to red under braking and can display dynamic lighting patterns for visibility at night.
