Swapped out the sand tires for our 28-inch STI Roctanes mounted on OMF Performance wheels and headed to the track to do some more testing. The power the Maverick puts down continues to put a smile on our face every time we get behind the wheel. The Elka Stege 4 shocks soaked up everything we tossed at them, and it was awesome to have full ability to adjust high and low speed compression and rebound.

We threw our sand tires that are mounted up on OMF Performance billet center wheels onto the Maverick and headed to Sand Mountain for the day.  The temperatures were over 100 degrees and the dunes were smooth and ridges were sharp.  Maverick has great power to pull these tires. Suspension with the new Elka shocks was awesome.  Muzzys dual exhaust sounded great and definitely seemed to give the Maverick more power. And all the Turnkey UTV accessories really finish off the look.

We tested our Maverick with 31×11.50R15 tires and also with stock Maxxis Big Horns.  The power of the Maverick is incredible. Rock crawling ability, not so much.

These shocks feature independent adjustability of the high- and low-speed compression which allows you to adjust your suspension to react differently to big hits, sharp edges and jumps as well as for cornering and accelerating. Racing conditions can vary dramatically from one track to another, and sometimes even within the same track. With the Stage 4, you can make your suspension react with optimal efficiency over an entire track without compromise.
