Feb 23rd 2022

Were you looking to take your Maverick X3 experience up a notch? These five upgrades are a great place to start! These mods will help you go faster and handle better on any terrain from beefier suspension to more power under the hood. So read on and see which ones are right for you!

The Upgrades

1.Door Handles

This mod doesn't help with performance, but it's a must.

Who knows why Can-Am wanted to have straps for door handles. They are sloppy and get in the way. It's just a silly setup. Cars and trucks are set up this way, so you automatically go for the door handle, not a strap, every time you go to get out.

So for just that reason, we recommend switching them out with some Door handles made for your can am. They are super easy to change out and are a few bolts. These door handles will also add strength vs. the strap.

2.The Battery

Most people are having issues with their battery not giving out enough power and getting a low voltage issue. That isn't the problem but it is what people always go to when having limp modes showing up.

You need to change out your Alternator on your Can-Am x3. When you switch it out you'll be able to handle multiple electrical components( lights, stereos, pumpers, comms, nav, power steering, and ignition.

This alternator will add 75+ amps at your operating speeds and 30+amps at idle.

This will help with all the extra electrical components on your Can-Am X3. Now when you have a low voltage battery, it just means that there is more juice being drawn than supplied. So having this upgrade will give you plenty of power to run everything and not have any issues while driving.

3.Radius Rod Kit

This is a 3 part section where this kit is 3 parts.

This is something we hit on a lot. Get a set of High Clearance Radius Rods. They give you 2.5 inches of clearance and are super strong and beefy. The stock rods and cheaply made and bend and break causing you to be stranded when you are out on the trails.

The plate will help tighten everything up for those turns and when you want to go fast. The dog bones are a must-have when you switch to radius rods. You'll need them to keep the proper angle and alignment on your suspension while off-roading.

When upgrading your Can-AM Maverick X3, it's important to choose components that will improve performance as well as durability. These three upgrades are essential for anyone looking.

4.Shock Brace Kits

2 parts to this that will help with your front and rear shocks.

The front shock tower brace This is a direct bolt-on replacement and can save your shocks. They are constantly under pressure and stress. Joining your shocks gives you UTV improved handling and greater rigidity.

The Rear Shock Brace

When you are pushing your ride to the limit your rear shocks take a lot. People have been experiencing frame damage. Tabs will bend crack or break causing serious damage to your frame. Installing a rear shock mount brace. This will distribute the load and keep your shocks in place.

5.Wheels

The last Upgrade we recommend is some Beadlock wheels for your Can-Am. The one we recommend these for your X3. These wheels are 50% stronger than your stock wheels. Plus they look so good and your ride really isn't completed without a set. They are the strongest wheels on the market for a UTV and are used in all races ZRP goes to.
