Common Questions
What is double shear support?Double shear support means a component is attached at two points, rather than one. This significantly increases its strength and resistance to bending or breaking under stress.
Does this brace require welding or fabrication?No, for most Can-Am Maverick X3 models without Smart Shox, this is a true bolt-on installation. Minor trimming of the bracket may be required for models equipped with Smart Shox.
Will this interfere with my hoses or wiring?The brace is designed to install without disturbing radiator hoses, wiring, or other factory components on non-Smart Shox X3s.
What is the material construction of the brace?The brace is constructed from a combination of strong mild steel for critical support areas and lightweight 6061 aluminum for other components.
