Can-Am X3 Billet 3-Piece Radius Rod Plate Kit

Built for strength. Engineered for reliability. The DRT Motorsports Billet Aluminum 3-Piece Radius Rod Plate Kit is the ultimate rear-end reinforcement for all 2017+ Can-Am Maverick X3 models, delivering increased suspension rigidity, improved serviceability, and a functional recovery hook — all machined from premium materials.

This X3 3-piece radius rod plate kit dramatically strengthens one of the X3's most failure-prone areas. Both upper and lower braces are CNC-machined from thick aerospace-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum, while the center features a precision-cut steel plate that locks the entire assembly into an ultra-rigid structure. The removable center plate allows quick access to radius rods, making service or adjustments easier than ever.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from the dual-shear and single-piece billet plates?

The dual-shear plate is a steel design that converts factory mounts to double shear. The single-piece billet plates focus on thicker material and tighter tolerances. This 3-piece kit goes further — adding upper and lower billet braces plus a removable steel center plate for the most rigid rear-end reinforcement DRT offers, with the added benefit of a billet tow hook.

Does it work on 2022+ chassis with the updated studs?

Yes. The design incorporates provisions for the additional chassis studs found on 2022+ Maverick X3 models, ensuring compatibility across the 2017-current lineup.

Can I service the radius rods without removing the whole kit?

Yes. The removable center steel plate allows quick access to radius rods so you can service or adjust them without pulling the entire assembly.

Does it fit X3 Max 4-door?

Yes. It fits both 2-door and 4-door Maverick X3 models, including all R, DS, RS, X MR, X RC, X RS, Turbo, Turbo R, and Turbo RR variants.

Is the tow hook included?

Yes. A 3D-machined billet aluminum tow hook is included — a key recovery feature OEM X3 models prior to 2020 lacked.

Is drilling required?

No. It's a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory radius rod plate.
