Assault Industries MAS-223 Phoenix Axles are stock-length replacement axles for the 2017+ Can-Am Maverick X3 and X3 MAX, in 64 inch and 72 inch widths, with or without Smart-Lok.

Choose your axle position, then 64 inch or 72 inch machine width, then Non Smart-Lok or Smart-Lok. Each axle is sold individually.

These Can-Am X3 axles cover every common setup. Pick a Can-Am X3 front axle or a Can-Am Maverick X3 rear axle, then your width: Can-Am X3 64 axles for 64 inch machines or Can-Am X3 72 axles for 72 inch machines. Smart-Lok owners need the X3 Smart-Lok axles option. Each Can-Am X3 axle is sold on its own, so you can order one or a full set of Can-Am Maverick X3 axles. If you are shopping X3 axles for heat, these are the Phoenix axles X3 riders run.

Find your exact model and year in the fitment list. SuperATV groups every listed X3 and X3 MAX model by machine width.

Do I need the Smart-Lok version?

Choose Smart-Lok if your X3 is a Smart-Lok model. SuperATV offers Smart-Lok front and rear axles in both widths.

What makes the Phoenix grease different?

Assault Industries uses a proprietary high-temp grease blend that is virtually waterproof. In lab testing it showed no breakdown at 586.4°F (308°C), the limit of the test equipment, while OEM grease broke down at 365°F.

How do they compare to SuperATV Rhino 2.0 axles?

Both use heat-treated 4340 chromoly. The Phoenix Axle adds Assault's high-temp grease and a 3-year warranty, versus 18 months on Rhino 2.0; Rhino 2.0 costs less. See our Rhino 2.0 listing for the Maverick X3.

What warranty do they carry?

Assault Industries backs MAS-223 Phoenix Axles with a 3-year warranty.

Why Assault Industries

Assault Industries built the MAS-223 Phoenix Axle around its own high-temperature grease. In Assault's viscosity lab testing the grease showed no breakdown at 586.4°F, where the test equipment maxed out; OEM grease broke down at 365°F. Every MAS-223 Phoenix Axle is backed by a 3-year warranty.
