Guys today its going to be a serious battle!
We managed to bring together two monstrous vehicles, and now we’ll find out what’s
better BRP Maverick Turbo or entirely custom buggy.
Take bets, we are to start right now!
Hi guys as usually its me just a voice over and you are watching review machines!
First of all I want to say that it was rather hard to bring these machines together, they
are extremely expensive, and every tiny breakage may become quite a costly issue.
That is why the owners of the machines had been hesitating for the long time before finally
decided to take part in the battle.
Moreover to test these machines properly we needed both a special track and pro riders.
And today we have the both – a proper track and awesome riders, thanks them a lot for
taking part in this video!
And now when our riders are preparing for the race, lets probe slightly deeper in these
interesting machines!
This awesome buggy is called Fun Crusier Supersport and it was built completely from scratch by
a workshop F-Motorsport.
An entirely new frame, design, suspension and so on.
They’ve already made several machines but this one is considered as the most fast and
powerful.
The weight of the vehicle is slightly less than a ton.
It is equipped with the Honda engine K20, 2 liters capacity, and the power is 230 hp.
There is an all wheel drive, custom professional suspension system, mechanical gear box and
so on.
It is really awesome machine, but I don’t know if it has any chances today, cause the
competitor is so tough…
Side by side vehicle BRP Maverick XRS 1000 Turbo.
There are many views that this vehicle is the best SSV in the world.
I would say at least undoubtedly its one of the best.
It weighs 700 kilos and it is equipped with the engine 900 cubic cm capacity with turbo
charger.
So the total power is about 200 hp!
The vehicle is equipped with CVT transmission and awesome suspension.
Yes Maverick is highly effective machine, but the rider matters more!
And the rider of this Maverick is a champion of the country in SSV class, that is why its
going to be a tough race for the competitor Fun Cruiser buggy!
Now lets make a little face to face comparison between the machines.
First of all again about engines.
Fun Crusier – 2 liters capacity Honda K20 engine without turbo 230 hp and torque is
160 newton meters.
Such engines are usually used in Honda Accord.
The engine works with 5 range manual gear box.
Maverick is equipped with three cylinders engine Rotax Ace 900 cubic cm capacity.
It twice smaller than Honda engine but it has turbo charger, so the total power is approximately
the same – about 200 hp.
There is a cvt transmission with the newest QRS-X variator.
One of the most important features for the both machines is a suspension system.
Fun Cruiser has all custom suspension, specially made for this buggy.
Its equipped with professional shocks Reiger.
They are adjustable and most durable for the toughest rides.
Maverick also has a gorgeous suspension equipped with the most efficient Fox Podium 3.0 shocks.
Suspension travel is really huge, just look at it!
Its 59 cm at the front and 61 from behind.
I can’t wait to see how it works!
As to the cabin it is quite simple in Fun Cruiser, but quite comfortable.
We see here only the essential things, absolutely nothing more.
The dashboard is under the top of the roof – to keep the gauges far from dirt and water.
By the way gauges are rather smart – the only bright spot in the whole interior.
Maverick can show us more so to speak luxurious interior.
The design is more usual like in a regular car, but of course everything here is made
of a waterproof material.
It is matter of taste certainly but I like this cabin more, its not so dull and very
functional.
Well I think its enough of theory lets do some practice!
Firstly we try to race right on a track, to see the difference in behavior of the machines,
lets go!
Actually I think its no matter what the machine, the champion riders skills rule here, that
is why Maverick takes the first place without any problem.
Of course it is so hard to compete with such experienced rider, but as you can see Fun
Cruiser goes very decently.
It tries his best to keep up with the leader.
But we we want to see the difference between the vehicles, so lets stop and let our riders
trade places.
You see…the things changed dramatically but on the other hand remained the same.
This time Fun Cruiser becomes leader, but in fact champions skills matter again!
Nevertheless Maverick keeps very tight as we can see.
Well it is very interesting and big thanks to our riders, but we still can’t figure
out any difference between the machines.
So now I want to suggest this: Lets do an old good drag race!
I think it’s the only way to see the real difference, without taking into account the
experience of our champion.
Well we found a proper straight road for our drag race, though it is slightly less than
a classic quarter – about 300 meters.
It is time to find out who is faster – BRP Maverick or Fun Crusier, CVT transmission
or manual gearbox.
Lets go!
At the beginning Fun Cruiser goes first, but in the very end Maverick catches up with it
and wins!
Very tight race, lets do it again!
And we see the same thing, firstly Cruiser is in the lead, but it again gives way in
the very end.
Now lets again try to change the riders.
And again Maverick wins the race, no matter who drives it.
Well it seems that we have a truthful result this time!
You know after the drag race we were going to continue our tests, maybe a bit of offroading
and hill climbing.
But all of a sudden the both vehicles got broken that came as a full surprise for us.
Fun cruiser broke its tire rod and Maverick had a steering lever bent as a result of a
jump with cold shocks.
Unfortunately the both machines are not able to compete any more.
Well at least lets talk a little about the prices!
The sum seriously depends on numerous modifications that can be done with these vehicles, but
these particular buggies the both cost about 50 000 dollars!
Despite we got broken the both cars, I think our tests were quite interesting.
We found out, that small motor with turbo charger and cvt beats the much larger motor
without turbo and with mechanical transmission.
Now we are going to figure out the repair expenses and I think its time to call it a
day.
