Stock Can-Am Maverick X3 axles are a common casualty once you add bigger tires, more power, or a more aggressive riding style. The Rhino X300 heavy-duty axle is a direct upgrade for stock-height machines, built around a 300M Flexshaft that twists to absorb torque spikes instead of snapping, with oversized 300M and 4340 chromoly CVs at each end. It's sold individually for the front driver, front passenger, or rear position, covers 64" and 72" models, and has a 3-year warranty.
What Makes the X300 Different
- 300M Flexshaft technology that flexes to absorb hard impacts
- 300M and 4340 chromoly CVs for strength at the joints
- Oversized CV components for demanding loads
- High-temperature grease to control heat
- 3-year warranty, the industry's best axle warranty
Strength That Bends Back
Most axle upgrades just get stiffer, which moves the stress somewhere else, usually the CV or the differential. The X300 takes a different approach. When it's hit with a torque load that would break other axles, the 300M shaft twists until the load is gone, then returns to its original position. That relieves much of the stress that other axles pass on to the CVs and diff, so the expensive parts of the drivetrain see less wear.
Why 300M Steel
300M is an aircraft-grade alloy steel chosen for its high strength, higher silicon content, and vanadium. Those properties, along with the specific X300 design, are what make the controlled flex possible. That's what lets you run bigger tires, bigger lifts, rougher rides, and flat-out action without breaking.
Oversized CV Joints
The CV, spider, and cage are maximized in size for superior strength, using 300M and 4340 alloy steel. Each CV is packed with proprietary high-temp grease, so the joints stay protected when they're working hard.
Ordering the Right Axle
X3 axles vary by width, year, sub model, and position, so choose your axle location, 64" or 72" width, year, and sub model in the options. The fitment section lists the OEM front and rear part numbers this axle replaces, which is the easiest way to confirm a match. It's not compatible with anti-lock brake systems (ABS) and does not fit machines with Smart-Lok differentials.

Who It's For and What Pairs Well
This axle is for stock-height X3 owners who have broken an axle or want to before it happens, especially with larger tires or tuned power. Strengthen the rest of the driveline with a prop shaft from Can-Am Maverick X3 drivetrain parts, add X3 ball joints, and compare every axle in Maverick X3 axles and CVs.
