Can Am Maverick X3 UHMW Skid Plate
Description
Can-Am Maverick X3 UHMW Skid Plate.
Fits: 64″ and 72″ wide models
This skid plate is a universal fit for all Maverick X3 models including the X3, XDS, XRS, XMR XRC, and RR models. Factory UTV’s UHMW Skid Plates are the gold standard for UTV protection systems. OEM skid plates simply do not satisfactorily protect the underside of your UTV under normal off-road operation. The Can-Am X3 OEM protection falls seriously short in a couple of 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 highly 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. “ ½” or 3/8” UHMW rear skid with a 1/8” inch 6061 high strength aluminum backing plate, X brace aluminum backing plate is installed in between UHMW skid and chassis frame and limits the amount of impact absorbing skid plate flex in the vital rear areas to further protect the transmission and clutch cover housing, UHMW rear skid plate and aluminum x brace works with our UHMW skid package as well as with the stock main skid plate. If you’re 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. These are the same X3 UHMW Armor products you’ll see on the Can-Am X3s of top Can-Am factory racers like Kyle Chaney and Marc Burnett to name just a few. They depend on Factory UTV UHMW Armor to get them to the finish line under the most demanding of race conditions.

UHMW (Ultra-High Molecular Weight) plastic. Significantly lighter than aluminum, FUTV skids and A-Arm guards offer full protection for the undercarriage of your UTV. 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 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, multiple UTV World Championships, multiple Mint 400s, multiple 5 Silver State 300s, multiple Baja 500s and Baja 500s, and multiple GNCC races and championships.
