Can-Am Maverick R Winches
Two hours into an October desert loop, a Maverick R breaks through a crust of dried mud into silt and stops. All four tires spin and none of them find bottom. Nobody in the group wants to dig that out with a shovel, and a winch with 50 feet of synthetic rope makes the shovel unnecessary: the line reaches a stump, a rock anchor or a buddy's machine, and the SuperATV kits on this page let you work it from a wireless remote while you stand clear. Options for the R run from Rough Country's $197.95 synthetic kit to SuperATV's 6,000 lb Black Ops, and Warn's steel-cable models cover rocky country. Behind them sits the deepest and broadest catalog in the online UTV business, 25K+ products across 300+ brands before you count options and colors.
The Maverick R arrived for 2024 and the four-seat R MAX followed for 2025, and this page serves both across the base, X, X rs and X rs with Smart-Shox trims. None of the winches here ships with a Maverick R mount. Each one needs a plate or winch-ready front bumper built for the R, and that mount also has to be drilled for the winch you pick. SuperATV's 4,500 and 6,000 lb Black Ops kits bolt down on a 3.0 by 6.6 inch pattern, while the Rough Country 4,500 lb uses 4.87 by 3 inches. Our fitment experts can sort all of it in one conversation. Text (920) 644-5280, call (920) 214-8201 or open the live chat on any page, and we'll match the winch, the mount and your R's year and trim before you pull the trigger.

BUYER'S GUIDE: Can-Am Maverick R Winches for the R and R MAX — Rope, Cable and Mounting Patterns

Five Spec-Sheet Checks for a Maverick R Winch
On a machine that fords washes and gets hosed off after every trip, look hard at sealing. SuperATV lists waterproof seals and a waterproof solenoid on its Black Ops kits, Rough Country lists a water-resistant solenoid and receiver box, and Warn rates the VRX 35 and Axon 35 at IP68. Each winch named on this page holds its load when you let off the switch, through an automatic brake on the SuperATV pair, a mechanical brake on the Rough Country and load-holding brakes on the Warn units, which matters when you stop mid-pull on a sand slope. Gear reduction shows how a winch trades speed for pull. The 4,500 lb SuperATV and the Rough Country turn 166:1, while the 6,000 lb SuperATV steps up to 266:1 behind a 1.9 hp motor. The fairlead tells you which line a kit was built around: the SuperATV and Rough Country kits ship a hawse for their synthetic rope, and the steel-cable Warn units ship a roller. Then confirm the bolt pattern matches your R mount hole for hole. From the shop: the first thing most Maverick R owners ask our fitment team is where the winch bolts on, not how hard it pulls, and that is the right order to shop in.
Maverick R Winch Budget: Entry Kit, Sweet Spot and Top Shelf
At $197.95, Rough Country's 4,500 lb kit is the budget-friendly entry point. The box holds the winch, a clevis hook, a hawse fairlead, 50 feet of quarter-inch synthetic and an on/off switch. What you give up is a remote. Most R owners we talk to settle in the middle, on a SuperATV Black Ops. The 4,500 lb lists at $367.45 and the 6,000 lb at $416.45, and the step up from the Rough Country buys remote control from up to 50 feet away, sealed electronics and a dash switch, all covered by SuperATV's 1-year defect warranty. Top shelf is the 6,000 lb Black Ops with SuperATV's Auto-Stop fairlead kit added, at $634.94. Riders working rocky country can go to Warn steel cable instead, from $499.99 for the VRX 35 up to $779.99 for the Axon 35, paying for IP68 sealing and, on the Axon, a limited lifetime mechanical warranty plus three years of electrical coverage. Our team will confirm either Warn unit on your R before you order.
The winch price is only part of the bill, because every kit here still needs its R mount, bought separately. Fairleads, rope and recovery gear are in our Maverick R winch accessories, and if you would rather mount through the front end, check our Maverick R bumpers and brush guards for a listing that names a winch mount and its rated capacity. The most common warranty is between 3-6 months, but Everything Can-Am Offroad does offer extended 1- and 2-year warranties on all products if that is something you are interested in — you can add the extended warranty right at checkout. Every winch here also ships under our risk-free 90-day return policy, and you can read what Can-Am riders say in our customer reviews before you buy.
Top 3 Can-Am Maverick R Winch Brands
- SuperATV is the only brand on this page offering an Auto-Stop fairlead kit, which stops the rope automatically at the fairlead to protect the fairlead and mount, and each Black Ops kit here pairs a wireless remote with a wired dash rocker so you can run the line from the seat or from outside the machine.
- Warn merges motor and contactor into a single Motactor unit on the Axon 35 and ships it with a rocker-bar digital control and handlebar adaptor, and each Warn winch here comes in steel cable or synthetic rope at checkout.
- Rough Country winds its 4,500 lb kit onto a 2-inch drum through a differential planetary gear train, mounts it on a narrow 4.87 by 3 inch bolt pattern and packs a clevis hook and on/off switch in the box.
Top 3 Can-Am Maverick R Winch Products
- Can-Am Commander/Maverick/Defender 4500lb Black Synthetic Ops Rope Winch by SuperATV ($367.45) ships 12 feet of heavy-gauge wiring, which SuperATV calls ideal for four-seaters, along with a 6.0-inch aluminum hawse. Built for an R MAX that carries a full crew on dune weekends.
- Can-Am Commander/Maverick/Defender 6000 lbs Winch with Wireless Remote Synthetic Rope by SuperATV ($416.45-$634.94) runs a 1.9 hp motor through 266:1 gearing, with the Auto-Stop fairlead kit at the top of the range. The winch for the lead R on a group run, the one that gets hooked to whoever stalls in the silt next.
- Can-Am Commander/Maverick/Defender 4500lb Electric Winch with Synthetic Rope by Rough Country ($197.95) is the most compact winch on this page at 12.8 inches long, with a mechanical brake and a clevis hook in the box. A budget pick for a two-seat R that mostly runs maintained trail but shouldn't leave the trailer without recovery gear.
Maverick R Winch Fitment and Setup Questions
Is any winch here made only for the Maverick R?
Not one. Two of the three featured listings are written for the Commander, Maverick and Defender as a group, and SuperATV marks its 6,000 lb Black Ops as universal fit. What turns any of them into a Maverick R winch is the mount underneath, built for the R and drilled for that winch's bolt pattern. Give our team your model year and trim, and we'll pair the right mount with the winch you want.
Does the R MAX need a different setup than the two-seat R?
Check two things. Harness length comes first: SuperATV ships 12 feet of heavy-gauge wiring with both Black Ops kits here and rates it ideal for four-seat machines. The mount listing comes second, because some front winch bumpers built for the R are listed for two-door models only. Confirm the R MAX appears in the fitment before you order.
Is 4,500 lb enough for a Maverick R, or should I go to 6,000?
For a two-seat R on self-recovery duty, 4,500 lb covers it, and both 4,500 lb kits here carry that rating on 50 feet of synthetic line. Step up to the 6,000 lb SuperATV if your R MAX rides with four people and gear aboard, or if your machine pulls other riders out. At current prices the bigger winch costs $49.00 more than the 4,500 lb SuperATV.
Why go aftermarket instead of Can-Am's own winch setup?
Can-Am lists a winch wiring harness for the Maverick R that it calls required to connect and run a Can-Am or Warn winch, and going factory is a sound choice. The aftermarket puts several makers on the same job, typically at lower prices, in rope or cable and in more capacities. SuperATV's 4,500 lb Black Ops is a fair example at $367.45, with a waterproof solenoid and a wireless remote in the box and a downloadable install guide on the listing. Our customer service team averages 5+ years with us, so the person answering your text knows UTVs.
