Upgrade your Can-Am MAX platform with the High Lifter 6 Inch Portal Gear Lift 45% dual idler and gear reduction gears. Designed specifically for Maverick Sport MAX, Defender MAX, and Commander MAX models, this heavy-duty Can-Am MAX 6 Inch Portal Gear Lift 45% Dual Idler delivers increased ground clearance, improved torque, and serious drivetrain protection for extreme off-road use.

The 45% dual idler gear reduction is ideal for riders running 40 inch tires or larger, restoring lost torque while reducing stress on belts, axles, differentials, and driveshafts.

6 Inch Portal Gear Lift 45% Dual Idler Strength

High Lifter enhanced the traditional portal box by adding a second idler gear inside the gearbox. This dual idler portal system spreads load across twice as many gear teeth, doubling the contact area and reducing stress by half.

This results in more reliable torque transfer, improved durability, and smoother performance under heavy throttle and deep mud conditions.

The 45% gearing also significantly improves engine braking performance, reducing brake usage and extending brake life for heavy MAX machines.

Forged Aluminum Portal Gear Boxes

Unlike competitors using cast or billet housings, High Lifter utilizes forged aluminum portal gear boxes. Forging produces a stronger, tougher housing capable of withstanding the added weight and torque demands of MAX models.

These are some of the strongest Can-Am MAX portal boxes available for serious mud riders and aggressive trail builds.

Advanced Sealing & Protection

• High-density Kevlar fiber gaskets (oil and coolant resistant)
• No additional sealant required
• Dual oil seals on spindle shaft for increased sealing area
• True triple-sealed input shaft including protective wiper seal

This sealing system protects against water intrusion and oil leaks, making it ideal for deep mud, water crossings, and harsh environments.

Heavy-Duty Backing Plates & High-Performance Braking

• Massive 5/16″ steel backing plates with bent flanges
• Welded gusset brackets for maximum structural integrity
• Factory offset design
• Compatible with control arms built to factory hub specifications

The included 13 inch precision ground stainless steel rotors improve braking performance. Slotted rotor design enhances heat dissipation and cooling while access holes simplify installation and service.

Precision Heat-Treated Gear Profile

Alloy steel gears undergo a specialized heat-treating process to increase overall strength. CNC precision ground machining ensures proper fitment, and controlled gear lapping delivers smoother and quieter operation.

Vehicle Fitment – MAX Models (2019–2026)

This Can-Am MAX 45% portal lift kit fits:

• 2019–2026 Can-Am Maverick Sport MAX 1000R DPS
