Can-Am X3 Rear Shock Bracket

The Can-Am X3 Rear Shock Bracket from Black Ops Machine is the must-have upgrade for riders who push their Maverick X3 beyond OEM limits. Designed and built in Phoenix, Arizona, this X3 rear shock brace reinforces one of the most common failure points on the platform—the rear shock mounts.

Sold as a left and right pair, this Can-Am X3 rear shock bracket is engineered to stiffen the rear end, distribute load evenly across the shock towers, and significantly reduce flex under aggressive riding. Whether you’re hammering whoops, blasting desert trails, or rock crawling at low speed, this upgrade adds strength where your suspension needs it most.

OEM rear shock mounts are known to flex and fatigue over time, especially with larger tires, added weight, or hard driving. The X3 rear shock brace eliminates this weakness by reinforcing the rear shock towers, helping prevent cracking, deformation, and premature suspension failure.

Manufactured from high-grade steel and finished in a durable black coating, this Can-Am X3 shock tower brace resists rust, corrosion, and trail abuse. The result is improved handling, increased rear-end stability, and a more predictable suspension feel—without sacrificing ride quality.

Installation is straightforward and requires only minimal trimming of OEM plastics, making this a true bolt-on upgrade that delivers immediate results.
