Maverick R Max vs RZR Pro R 4 vs Teryx5 H2: Which 4-Seater Actually Fits Idaho Trails?

Short answer: Most Idaho 50″ ATV trails won’t allow these full-width 4-seat SxS. The Can-Am Maverick R Max is ~78.1″ wide, the Polaris RZR Pro R 4 is 74″, and the Kawasaki Teryx5 H2 is 74″—so plan on wide two-tracks (Owyhee Front), BLM roads, and open dunes (St. Anthony), not narrow ATV routes. Choose by terrain: dunes/desert speed (Teryx5 H2 / Maverick R Max) or mixed desert + rocks (RZR Pro R 4).

Four-seat side-by-sides riding Idaho desert dunes — Open dunes and desert two-tracks are ideal for full-width 4-seat SxS.

Quick Take: Who Each Is For

Can-Am Maverick R Max — 240-hp Rotax triple with a 7-speed DCT, long 142.5″ wheelbase and 78.1″ width. Built for high-speed desert and dunes with ultra-stable manners. Official specs.
Polaris RZR Pro R 4 — 225 hp, 74″ wide, 133.5″ wheelbase; a balanced hammer for Idaho two-tracks and desert whoops that still threads lines better than the widest rigs. Official specs.
Kawasaki Teryx5 H2 (2026) — Factory-supercharged 250-hp (ISO) inline-four, 74.0″ width, long-travel KECS eS suspension—aimed squarely at dunes/open desert. Model page • Spec sheet.

Will It Fit Idaho Trails?

Many Idaho motorcycle/ATV routes are posted 50″ maximum width (some even 48″). These 74–78″ machines are too wide for ATV-only single-track; use the Idaho Trails/IDPR resources to filter for UTV routes and wider two-tracks. Always confirm on-site signage before you ride.

Where they do fit: Owyhee Front / Hemingway Butte (BLM) offers hundreds of miles of roads, wider trails and two-tracks across desert foothills and sand washes—ideal for full-width SxS.
St. Anthony Sand Dunes (BLM) is open dune riding with seasonal wildlife closures and whip-flag requirements. Review the BLM dunes brochure for closures, access and safety rules.
Example of limits: The Danskin OHV area includes many motorcycle/ATV-only segments; some areas cite 48″ max width. Check current USFS/IDL maps and local ranger updates.

Use-Case Matchups

Dunes & Wide-Open Desert (St. Anthony, Owyhee two-tracks)

Best fit: Kawasaki Teryx5 H2 (instant supercharged shove; long-travel KECS eS) and Can-Am Maverick R Max (DCT snap; long wheelbase stability). Also excellent: Polaris RZR Pro R 4 with 225 hp and race-proven suspension control at speed.

Mixed Desert + Rocky Two-Tracks

RZR Pro R 4 pairs a slightly narrower 74″ stance with a 133.5″ wheelbase for easier line placement on winding two-tracks, without giving up high-speed composure.

Driveline Feel: DCT vs. CVT

Maverick R Max DCT: Direct shifts, no belt, strong engine-braking character.
RZR / Teryx H2 CVT: Smooth, elastic thrust; Kawasaki adds a centrifugal clutch for buttery engagement with big power.

Cabin & Family Factors

All three offer real 4-seat cabins; Kawasaki also offers a 5-passenger bench-rear layout for growing families.
Comfort tech: FOX Live Valve / KECS-eS / DYNAMIX DV trims help tame chop and whoops; Can-Am adds a 10.25″ display on select packages.
