2025 Can-Am Maverick R MAX MG1 ECU Unlock & Bench Power Flash

Introduction

DESCRIPTION

*EVP DISCLAIMER: All Dyno runs were performed in EVP’s Wisconsin R&D center. Performance and boost numbers may vary based on atmospheric conditions and/or altitudes.

The Maverick R MAX has an all new, stronger transmission than what came on the 2024 and ’25 two-seat models. It also has a lower gear ratio and a bit more refinement than the previous generation. This makes the heavier four-seat feel much like the two-seat in terms of acceleration and fun factor.

EVP’s ECU Power Flash for the Maverick R MAX is a 100% transformation that turns a day in the dunes or dirt into an exotic supercar-style driving experience. Rev limiters are raised to enable longer, harder pulls and higher top speeds, engine and intercooler fans have been revised to optimize cooling, plus standard EVP tuning features like enhanced boost response, two-foot braking, and much more deliver the most fun and potent horsepower-per-dollar upgrade available for the Maverick R.

EVP Co-Founder Todd Zuccones background comes from the automotive space, where his previous company tuned and built some of the fastest Porsches in the world. This knowledge and expertise has been applied to the new Maverick R. One of the features brought over from the automotive tuning scene is the pops and bangs on decel. This allows the driver to create a backfire pop through the exhaust while shooting flames out of the exhaust pipe. (Pops and Bangs tunes will be available soon) A fun, immersive feature that brings a unique driving experience to this vehicle. Another feature incorporated is revised rev limit strategy for upshifts. We’ve created a DCT”burble,” which further enhances how the car sounds and feels while emitting flames out of the tailpipe on upshifts. These two added upshift and downshift features completely change the driving characteristics of the vehicle, as well as allows the driver to become completely engaged in the driving experience thanks to the level-10 fun factor and killer sound. When you take these features and combine it with ameticulously designed exhaust systemthat emanates the most incredible supercar sound and adds additional power, this vehicle is completely transformed.

EVP Co-Founder Jim Zuccone has spent countless hours understanding the new Dual Clutch Transmission and how it could be improved through software tuning. After owning other vehicles such as the Yamaha YXZ and Honda Talon, Jim was not a fan of geared transmissions on small displacement engines. They really take the fun out of riding especially in the dunes, since they never seem to be in the right gear for a given situation. The Maverick R is far better than those vehicles, but still suffered from similar issues. Gaining control over the transmission functionality was paramount. Transmission tuning to match the raised rev limit is incorporated into all EVP Maverick R packages. Both auto upshift and downshift are refined for a more fun and lively driving experience. Advanced transmission tuning with even higher rev limits, more advanced upshift and downshift strategies, along with added clutch pressure, are available separately (for more info, Click Here).

Launch control was another feature Jim wanted and knew our customers would expect. The result of this work is the best implementation of launch control yet. EVP Launch Control is fully adjustable from 3200-5200 rpms using the gas pedal and light switch to adjust the launch RPM set it and forget it until you want to raise or lower it. The launch RPM is stored in the ECU permanently until you want to change it. This is an exclusive EVP feature and is the industry standard no one else has this.

The Maverick R R&D was truly an EVP Team effort with EVP Wisconsin tuning the Maverick R to beta level on various octane fuels, EVP Mode in Phoenix refining, field testing and adding the killer pops and bangs feature. EVP Mode also addressed the fuel pump so E85 tunes could be developed while EVP Wisconsin gained full control over the transmission and implemented launch control. The focused efforts by the two brothers have transformed the Maverick R into what can only be described as the most fun, lively, and engaging SXS that you have yet to experience.

TUNE FEATURES:

• Tuning packages give you access to a pump gas and higher octane fuels to suit your riding style and or mission for the day.
• Transmission tuning with revised upshift and downshift strategies to match the raised rev limit is now included with all EVP Tunes (More enhanced DCT+ Tuning upgrade available).
• Cold start/idle fixed – engine starts and idles like it should!
• Massive power gains
• Speed limits raised
• TQ limits removed
• Engine cooling fan On/Off temps lowered to turn the fan on at lower temperature to keep the engine cooler
• Intercooler fan operation revised to turn on as soon as the vehicle receives any throttle input while in gear. This way you dont have to listen to the fans at idle while still maximizing cooling without the added expense of a fan override. Having the ECU control this functionality in a refined way is always best rather than having to turn the fan on or off manually.
• Transmission fan operation is revised to come on at a lower temperature than stock. This keeps the DCT fluid cooler than stock, but doesn’t risk it becoming too cold. The transmission is designed to operate within a certain temperature range. A fan override switch not only adds additional expenses, but when left on it can cool the fluid temperatures too far below operating temperature, which may lock the vehicle out of certain functions and/or limit power. Having the ECU control this function is always best to keep the transmission within its correct
• Rev Limit Increased for longer pulls and higher top speeds
• Improved overall power delivery, more consistent power in warm climates
• Improved throttle response
• Enhanced boost response and boost pressure for more power
• Integrated 2-Foot Braking: Gas and brake at the same time
• Software is Based on the latest Can-Am software update
• Compatible with BRPs BUDS diagnostic software (do not let your dealer flash over our tune!)
• Race exhaust is highly recommended when running the “Pops & Bangs” tune
• Standard tunes compatible with OEM muffler and catalytic converter
• E85 Tuning Packages Available
