Factory UTV Can-Am Maverick X3 Max UHMW Skid Plate
Item# futv-X3maxxskid
Description
Fits: 2017+ Can Am Maverick X3 Max
Can-Am Maverick X3 Max UHMW Skid Plate is significantly lighter than aluminum but offers full protection for the undercarriage of your UTV. Factory UTV’s UHMW Skid Plates are the gold standard for UTV protection systems. UHMW is 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 a big impact hits aluminum will bend ,gouge and break while UHMW maintains it’s original shape. OEM skid plates simply do not satisfactorily protect the underside of your UTV under normal off road operation. The Can Am X3 Max 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 Factory UTV’s 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.
