FITMENT:
- Can Am Maverick X3 (2017+)
FEATURES:
Our UHMW Skid Plates are the gold standard for UTV protection systems. OEM skid plates simply do not adequately protect the underside of your UTV under normal off-road operation. The Can Am X3 OEM protection falls seriously short in a couple areas. Can Am uses HMW, which has 1/10th the impact strength compared to the UHMW used for this armor. This is an important distinction on a machine as big and fast as the X3. The X3’s Clutch Cover is extremely vulnerable to damage from below with the OEM protection. Our armor addresses the clutch cover vulnerability with coverage that extends out and around the cover to protect it from below.
We’ve also added an X-Brace option under the engine/trans area of the X3. The X-Brace consists of a 1/8″ 6061 high strength aluminum sheet that gets sandwiched between the UHMW skid and X3 frame during installation. If your going to play hard in your X3, you’ll need the added X-Brace protection. The X3 engine/trans is precariously close to the skid plate on an X3.We’ve also added a front differential skid plate covering an area left bar by the OEM. This diff plate is molded to conform with the X3 in that area.
UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) plastic is significantly lighter than aluminum. Our skids and A-Arm guards offer full protection for the undercarriage of your UTV. UHMW is a tough, wear resistant plastic that combines an incredibly low coefficient of friction with outstanding impact strength, and will outwear carbon steel 10 to 1. Unlike aluminum, UHMW also has memory, meaning after big impact hits aluminum will bend, gouge, and break, while UHMW maintains its original shape.
These are the same protection products used to help racers win just about every major Pro UTV off-road race, including multiple King of Hammers, UTV World Championships, Mint 400’s, 5 Silver State 300’s, Baja 500’s, and GNCC races and championships.
These skid plates are very TOUGH! Protect your investment today!
