The Maverick X3's sleek nose looks great, but the front section of the frame is smaller than it should be for how hard this machine gets driven. Case a jump, slam through a whoop section, or bump something nose-first and it's not unusual to finish the day with a bent chassis. This frame stiffener and gusset kit backs up the front end with heavy-duty 4.5 mm steel plate so you can ride hard without worrying about the frame.
Highlights
- Strengthens the front end of the frame
- Adds support and stability where the X3 frame is weakest
- Made from 4.5 mm heavy-duty steel plating
- Powder coated for durability
- Helps protect against hard landings, front-end hits, and overloaded winching
Why the X3 Needs It
All that turbo power, paired with a compact front frame section, is a recipe for bent chassis tubes. Racers and weekend riders alike run into it. This stiffener picks up the slack by tying the front frame together with thick steel plate, so the loads from big hits are spread out instead of folding a tube.
More Than Jump Insurance
Hard landings and whoops get the attention, but this kit also helps when the unexpected happens, like a front-end collision with a tree, rock or another machine. It even helps protect the frame from damage caused by overloaded winching, when the winch is pulling more than the front end was built to take.
Built Tough
Each plate is cut from 4.5 mm heavy-duty steel and powder coated to stand up to mud, water, and rock rash. It's a simple, solid upgrade that adds strength right where the X3 tends to give.

Skid Plate Compatibility
Note: When you run this frame stiffener / gusset kit with the Can-Am Maverick X3 Full Skid Plate, the frame stiffener replaces the front section of the skid plate.
Who It's For and What Pairs Well
This kit is for X3 owners who like to go fast, especially over jumps and whoops, and for anyone running a winch who wants the front frame backed up. Pair it with armor from Can-Am Maverick X3 skid plates, and see more frame and gusset upgrades in X3 frame and chassis parts.
