Demon Can-Am Maverick X3 64" Front Right Heavy Duty Axle (2017-2020)

Can-Am Maverick X3 owners run out of axle strength before they run out of nerve. This Demon heavy duty axle is a direct-fit replacement for the front right position on 64-inch Maverick X3 and X3 Max machines from 2017 through 2020, built to hold up where the stock part gives in.

Through years of research and development Demon Powersports has developed an axle that doesn’t burn a hole in your pocket and adheres to the highest quality standards. 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. They also use a double plunge design that lets the shaft slide on the bar splines, giving 1.5 inches of plunge travel and 40 degrees of articulation at the inboard joint.

Key Features

• Dual heat treated high strength chromoly steel shaft
• Inner CV cage upgraded to 4340 chromoly steel
• Larger CV joints and shafts than the standard line
• Double plunge design — 1.5 inches of plunge travel and 40 degrees of articulation on the inboard joint
• TPEE boots — stiffer and more fatigue, puncture and temperature resistant than a standard OEM boot
• Molybdenum grease for low friction and smooth motion

Built To Solve: Broken Front Axles On A 64-Inch Can-Am Maverick X3

• Stock front axles that let go under power in sand, rock or whoops
• Torn OEM boots that sling grease and destroy the CV
• Clicking or binding at full droop
• Repeat axle replacement on a machine making more power
• CV heat build-up on long, fast runs

Best For: 64-Inch X3 And X3 Max Owners Who Ride Hard

• Dune and sand riders loading the front driveline hard
• Desert and whoop riders running long, fast miles
• Owners who have already broken an OEM shaft on this chassis
• Riders carrying a spare for remote trips
• Machines running more power or taller tires

Fitment

Demon lists this axle for 2017–2020 Can-Am Maverick X3 and Maverick X3 Max in 64-inch width, front right, on No Smart-Lok machines.

Machines built with Smart-Lok, or on the 72-inch chassis, take a different part number — confirm your machine width and front differential before ordering. Fitment is not guaranteed on applications outside the range above.

FAQ

Will this fit my 72-inch Maverick X3?

No. This is the 64-inch front axle. Width is the most common mistake on X3 axle orders, so confirm your machine's stance before ordering.

Does it fit a Smart-Lok machine?

No. Demon lists this axle for No Smart-Lok applications. Check your front differential before ordering.

Is this one axle or a pair?

One axle, sold each, for the front right position. The opposite side is a separate part number.

Why do stock axles break?

Axles fail where the shaft and CV joint run out of articulation and plunge travel under load. Demon uses larger CV joints and shafts and a dual heat treated chromoly shaft to raise that limit.

What are TPEE boots?

Thermoplastic polyester elastomer. Demon uses them because they are stiffer and more fatigue, puncture and temperature resistant than a standard OEM boot — boots are where many axle failures start.

Is there a stronger option?

Yes. Demon's X-Treme line runs 4340 chromoly through every component, and the Race Spec version steps the shaft up to a 300M aircraft-grade alloy.

Why Demon

Demon Powersports developed this line through years of research and development, aiming at parts that outlast the stock component without a race-parts price. Their products go through testing before launch, and the heavy duty and X-Treme tiers are what they put behind their own racers.

Complete Your 64-Inch Maverick X3 Front Driveline Rebuild

The front right and front left axles are separate part numbers on this machine, so order both if you are doing the pair and keep the old side as a trail spare. Confirm your machine is 64 inch wide and has no Smart-Lok before ordering. While the front end is apart, check the ball joints and tie rods — worn steering components let the suspension outrun the axle's articulation and are a common reason a replacement axle fails as fast as the original.
