Stop running OEM rear knuckles that are known to wallow out and crack under hard use. The Black Ops Machine Can-Am X3 Rear Knuckles are machined from 6061 billet aluminum with a double shear mount for maximum rigidity, a sealed bearing carrier to keep mud and water out, and a hard anodized black finish. Sold in pairs — the only correct way to replace rear knuckles.
Why should I upgrade my rear knuckles?
OEM rear knuckles are known to fail under hard use, leading to costly repairs. Our billet aluminum knuckles offer significantly improved strength, rigidity, and protection for your wheel bearings.
What does "double shear" mean and why is it better?
Double shear means the knuckle attaches to the spindle at two points instead of one. This distributes the load more effectively, making it much stronger and less prone to failure under stress.
Will these fit my specific Can-Am X3 model?
These rear knuckles are designed to fit all configurations of the Can-Am Maverick X3 and X3 MAX models.
What is included in the kit?
The kit includes a pair of 6061 billet aluminum rear knuckles with double shear mounts and sealed bearing carriers, along with all necessary hardware for installation.
Cracked an OEM rear knuckle at KOH and limped back to camp. Put these on before the next race and haven't had a single issue. The double shear design is immediately more confidence-inspiring than stock. Worth every penny.

The sealed bearing carrier alone is worth the upgrade. My OEM bearings were constantly contaminated from mud riding. Two seasons on these knuckles and the bearings are still clean and tight.
