Set against the scrub-and-rock backdrop of Black Canyon City, the 2021 CanAm X3 is a pocket rocket built for open dirt: a turbocharged 900cc three‑cylinder Rotax that produces 195 horsepower and launches to 60 mph in about four seconds. Rent it guided or self‑guided and bring only a valid driver’s license and a credit card to get rolling.
