In stock
The Elektric Off Road 6-bolt Radius Rod Plate shields the low, exposed radius rod heim joints and rod bolts on the 2017-2021 Can-Am Maverick X3 and adds a built-in tow hook. Machined from 6061 billet aluminum with stainless steel sleeve inserts, it bolts on and is finished in black anodize.
A rock to an unprotected heim joint can mean sloppy handling or a failed rod. The plate puts machined aluminum between those parts and the trail, reduces suspension play and gives you a solid recovery point when you or a buddy get hung up.
This plate works with factory radius rods and aftermarket rods that use a 5/8-inch Heim in the center link. Rods with a Heim larger than 5/8-inch will not work; choose the 6-Bolt XL plate for those.
This 6-bolt plate is a can am x3 radius rod plate and can am x3 pull plate in one. If you are comparing a maverick x3 radius rod plate, a can am x3 rear radius rod plate or any can am radius rod plate, match your mount pattern first: a radius rod plate only works on the bolt pattern it was cut for. It is a billet radius rod plate that protects the can am x3 rear suspension and serves as an x3 radius rod plate with tow hook. It is the standard can am x3 6 bolt radius rod plate.

FAQ
What does a radius rod plate do?
It shields the exposed heim joints and rod bolts, reinforces the connection with stainless sleeves, and adds a tow hook.
Which plate fits my X3?
Match the mount: Elektric lists 6-bolt plates for 2017-2021 models, the 6-bolt XL for 2017-2026, and the 10-bolt plate for 2022-2026 models with the 10-bolt mount.
Does it work with aftermarket radius rods?
Factory rods and aftermarket rods with a 5/8-inch center-link Heim, yes. Larger Heims need the 6-Bolt XL plate.
Is installation bolt-on?
Yes. No cutting or welding.
Is a tow rating published?
Elektric does not publish a tow rating for the hook, so we do not list one. Use rated recovery gear and good judgment.
Why Elektric Off Road
Elektric Off Road (Elektric Offroad Designs) builds platform-specific UTV parts, including bumpers, rock sliders, roof racks, billet sway bar links, tie rods and radius rods. They're designed around the machine they fit rather than adapted from a universal part. Elektric makes radius rod plates for each X3 mount pattern in black and gun metal.
Protect Your Maverick X3 Rear Suspension
Confirm your X3 year and mount pattern before ordering. Pair the plate with Elektric high clearance radius rods and rear sway bar links. The black finish is shown here; it is also available in gun metal (RRP210013).
