These axles are bigger, beefier, and stronger. Demon Heavy Duty Axles are built using larger CV joints and shafts, paired with a proprietary dual heat treatment process and a 4340 chromoly steel inner CV cage, giving the axle the edge it needs for superior strength and longevity. The double plunge design delivers 1.5 inches of plunge travel and 40 degrees of articulation at the inboard joint, with 0.5 inches of travel and a 45–47 degree swing range at the outboard joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual heat treated high strength chromoly steel shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner CV cage upgraded to 4340 chromoly steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLarger CV joints and shafts than the standard line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble plunge design — 1.5 inches of plunge travel and 40 degrees of articulation on the inboard joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutboard joint with 0.5 inches of travel and a 45–47 degree swing range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTPEE boots — stiffer and more fatigue, puncture and temperature resistant than a standard OEM boot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMolybdenum grease for low friction and smooth motion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBuilt To Solve: Broken Front Axles On A Can-Am Maverick X3 Max\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStock front axles that let go under power in sand, rock or whoops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorn OEM boots that sling grease and destroy the CV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClicking or binding at full droop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeat axle replacement on a machine making more power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCV heat build-up on long, fast runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest For: X3 Max Owners Who Ride Hard\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDune and sand riders loading the front driveline hard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesert and whoop riders running long, fast miles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who have already broken an OEM shaft on this chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRiders carrying a spare for remote trips\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachines running more power or taller tires\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePosition: Front Left\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChassis: Maverick X3 Max\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: 4340 Chromoly Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInboard joint: 1.5 in plunge travel, 40° articulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutboard joint: 0.5 in travel, 45°–47° swing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBoots: TPEE with molybdenum grease\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranty: 1 Year Warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer Part Number: PAXL-3038HD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemon lists this axle for the following Can-Am applications:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2017–2018 Can-Am Maverick X3 Max X rs Turbo R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2020 Can-Am Maverick X3 Max DS Turbo R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2020–2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 Max RS Turbo R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote the gap in the range: Demon lists no 2019 application for this axle.
