Details

Saint Anthony, Idaho, often called the "Gateway to the Tetons," sits just east of the dramatic Teton Mountain Range. Rugged landscapes, rolling sagebrush flats, and winding river canyons define this corner of southeastern Idaho, making it a prime location for high-powered off-road adventures. Patriot SxS brings these terrains to life with a fleet of top-tier side-by-side (SxS) vehicles located right in Saint Anthony. Whether you're looking to pilot a nimble Can-Am Maverick X3 Max TURBO or tackle rough trails in a sturdy CAN AM DEFENDER LIMITED, this company offers machines engineered to take on Idaho’s demanding backcountry with ease and excitement.

The region’s geology features volcanic rock formations and wide open valleys carved by ancient flows of the Snake River. Nearby, the Teton fault sculpts steep escarpments that provide breathtaking backdrops as you roar through dirt roads and hidden trails. What sets Patriot SxS apart is their diverse lineup: from the explosive 240hp New 2024 Can-Am Maverick R Turbo two-seater offering heart-racing speed, to the versatile four-seat Commander Max XTP 1000 R that balances power and comfort for group outings. Their vehicles suit riders from adrenaline junkies looking for technical challenges to families seeking an adventurous day out in pristine nature.

Saint Anthony’s proximity to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks means riders can access a region rich in wildlife such as elk and mule deer, and historic sites tied to early pioneer routes. The company’s presence encourages deeper engagement with Idaho’s wild lands beyond the usual tourist paths. With clear skies and trails that demand respect but reward greatly, Patriot SxS offers a gateway to experiencing the western American outdoors on terms that combine power, precision, and panoramic views.
