A stock Can-Am Maverick X3 is already a tough-looking machine, but the stock front arms are a weak spot once you start running bigger tires and harder lines. The Atlas Pro 2" forward offset A-arms fix that. Their bend design adds 1.5" of ground clearance, the 2" forward offset makes room for tires up to 33" on 64" models or 37" on 72" models, and the tubing is a half inch bigger than stock, so they're stronger and look the part too.
Why Riders Pick Them
- Forward-offset design adds tire clearance and lengthens the wheelbase
- Massive 1.5" tubing built for extreme-duty strength
- High-clearance bends keep the suspension up and away from trail obstacles
- Adjustable pivot blocks so you can set camber
- Lifetime A-arm warranty to protect your purchase
Big Arms and a 2" Forward Offset
It's hard to improve on a machine that's made for some of the hardest riding out there, but these arms do it. The Atlas Pro 2" forward offset A-arms turn a beefy X3 into a real monster. The bend design gives you an extra 1.5" of ground clearance, and the 2" forward offset moves the front wheels ahead so there's room for bigger tires. Because the tubing is 0.5" larger than stock, the arms are both stronger and more impressive to look at. Boulders, logs, and ledges become a lot less intimidating.
Built for Bigger Tires and Rough Trails
These Atlas Pro arms are 50% larger than stock, which puts them well ahead of most other choices. The bend sits closer to the wheel for better clearance, so you don't have to back away from rough terrain. The 2" offset also improves the overall stability of the machine, and it frees up the space you need for bigger tires. If you still manage to get hung up with these arms on, you've found some seriously gnarly trail.
Tough and Good Looking
Besides being very strong, the Atlas Pro arms look tough. The bigger tubing is noticeably heftier than the OEM arms and even the standard high-clearance arms, which gives the front end a burly look that stands out. They're made from powder-coated steel for long-term durability, and they're built to resist rust and corrosion no matter how much mud and slop you ride through. They're backed by a lifetime warranty.
Fully Adjustable Pivot Blocks
The arms come with fully adjustable pivot blocks that are set to factory specs before they ship. That means you can bolt them on and ride with no adjustments needed. If you later add larger tires or upgrades that add significant weight, you'll want to adjust camber. Getting camber right keeps your tires from wearing out early and keeps the machine handling the way it should.
Get Them With Ball Joints Installed
You can choose ball joints in the options and have them come installed in the new arms, which saves you time in the garage and the trouble of pressing them in yourself.
Note: If you don't pick preinstalled ball joints when you order, you'll need to reuse your stock ball joints.
Heavy-Duty Ball Joints
Made from hardened 4340 VAR steel with zinc plating, these are built to handle jumps and hill climbs. Grease zerks are easy to get to, the design is adjustable, and lab and field testing shows they withstand double the pressure of an OEM ball joint.
Super Duty 300M Ball Joints
300M grade steel is one of the strongest ball joint materials available, and these are designed to make the most of it. With an easy-access grease zerk and an adjustable steel-on-steel design, they're simple to maintain and stay flexible. They're 2.25x stronger than stock.
Keller Ball Joints
Keller's two-piece design skips the snap ring entirely. The ball joint threads into the arm like a nut and bolt, so it's nearly impossible to pull out. A chromoly steel stud and tool-steel body make them a great match for heavier machines and bigger tires, and they can be greased and rebuilt to keep them running right.
A Standard Duty ball joint option is offered as well.

Installation
These arms replace your stock front A-arms. If you plan to reuse your stock ball joints, you'll need to press them out of the old arms and into the new ones, which is why many riders order them preinstalled. Read through the instructions before you start, and check camber after install if you're running bigger tires.
