Can-Am Maverick X3 Half Inch Rear Skid Plate Kit. 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 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 Rear Skid Armor addresses the clutch cover vulnerability with coverage that extends out and around the cover to protect it from below. The X3 Rear Skid Kit comes standard with an X-Brace 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. The X3 Rear Skid Kit replaces the OEM rear portion of the skid plate and works with the stock front skid in place. These are the same X3 UHMW Armor products you’ll see on the Can Am X3’s of top Can Am factory racers like Kyle Chaney, Marc Burnett and Monster Matt Burroughs 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. Join the #futvarmy and protect your X3 with the best Armor in the world, Factory UTV UHMW Armor!
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 it’s 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 400’s, multiple 5 Silver State 300’s, multiple Baja 500’s and Baja 500’s, and multiple GNCC races and championships.
