Can-Am Maverick X3 8 Inch Portal Gear Lift – 50% Dual Idler (2017–2026)

Can-Am Maverick X3 8 Inch Portal Gear Lift – 50% Dual Idler (2017–2026)

The Maverick X3 8 Inch Portal Gear Lift with 50% Dual Idler gearing is engineered for high-horsepower Turbo and Turbo RR builds that demand extreme ground clearance, massive torque multiplication, and professional-grade durability. Designed for Can-Am Maverick X3 DS, RS, MAX, X MR, X RC, and Smart-Shox models from 2017–2026, this 8” portal system transforms your machine into a true big-tire performance platform.

The aggressive 50% gear reduction restores lost torque from oversized tires while reducing strain on belts, axles, driveshafts, and differentials — critical for Turbocharged platforms. Whether you’re building a mud monster, rock crawler, or high-clearance desert setup, this portal lift delivers the mechanical advantage needed for extreme terrain.

50% Dual Idler Torque System
