X3 Desert Series Tie Rods
The Black Ops Machine X3 Desert Series Tie Rods are engineered for racers and aggressive Can-Am X3 drivers who demand absolute confidence in their steering system. If you’re pushing your X3 hard through desert whoops, rocks, high-speed trails, or race conditions, stock tie rods simply won’t survive. These will.
This is the ultimate tie rod setup for the Can-Am Maverick X3, built with uncompromising materials and race-proven engineering. Each tie rod features a large-diameter 7075 aluminum tie rod body, paired with a 17-4 stainless clevis, custom 17-4 hardware, and high-strength heim joints. The result is an incredibly rigid, precise steering upgrade designed to withstand extreme impacts and aggressive driving.
These are not trail-grade replacements—they are Desert Series race-level tie rods, developed for drivers who refuse to gamble with steering components at speed. Whether you’re racing, prerunning, or simply driving your X3 the way it was meant to be driven, this setup delivers maximum durability, strength, and steering precision.
