Tools
Kit will work on any Can Am Maverick X3 2018-22 120HP, 2017 154HP, 2018-21 172HP, or 2020-21 195HP models with the 6 arm primary clutch (Does NOT fit P-Drive models, but would replace your P-Drive if you wish)
This S4 kit is a complete clutch set up for your X3 and includes: AA primary clutch with metal rollers (OEM are plastic), 6 AA Recoil magnetic adjustable hardened clutch weights (OEM weights are soft which is why they use a plastic roller), AA primary spring, OEM secondary clutch sheaves, AA adjustable helix, AA HD rollers, helix adjustment tool & setup guideline.
Primary and secondary clutch do not come assembled. Simply set up your weights according to our setup chart, then install the weights & spring. Then install our helix/spring into the secondary. Otherwise we have the +$50 option to have us assemble both clutches for you, as long as you let us know exact model/year, engine modifications and tire size/type.
From trail rigs to high horsepower setups, this is the clutch setup we run on our shop vehicles. The 6 arm clutch is much more efficient in power transfer and with our addition of metal rollers and hardened weights, it is the key to power transfer over a 3 arm setup or P-Drive. For 120HP or 154HP base models, this primary clutch is an upgrade as it has metal sliders which help longevity and have less drag. These sliders came on 172HP and 195HP models.
Our X3 S4 clutch kits pack a huge punch! No matter the terrain, they hit hard and just keep pulling for days. On the trail or at the race you'll notice wicked acceleration and instant clutch response when getting back into the throttle after hammering that corner. In the dunes you'll see the same benefits, but also have much less bogging when climbing that big dune. The machine will hold RPM so you can get where you need to go, and get there faster! Going mudding? Our mud setup will help turn those tires through the thick and deep with much better RPM and wheel speed that's key to climbing out of that hole. Are you a rock crawler? Our smooth engagement and precise feel down low will give you the confidence to tackle any obstacle. We have a huge amount of CVT knowledge, a great passion for the sport, and spent many hours testing different setups in the real world. We know you'll be extremely pleased with the performance gain from our clutch kits!
With our clutches you'll notice better power transfer (better acceleration) and lower belt temps than your OEM clutch or any other aftermarket clutch. Our primary clutch setup includes our hardened clutch weights and metal rollers (OEM rollers are plastic) for extra durability.
Big performance gains as these 3 cylinder motors love to rev! The factory clutches these heavy, making them ramp up RPM slowly. Once you ride a properly clutched X3 that ramps up RPM quickly, you'll see the major difference. This comes into play if you are running heavier tires, riding dunes, or tune your X3. Allowing RPM to ramp up quickly is a massive difference and if your tunes are built like ours, they love to rev higher and that makes them accelerate much faster.
Our custom cut fully adjustable helix in this kit is a game changer! We have been using this quick click secondary design on many other vehicles since 2008, and have now adapted to the X3 platform. This helix angle is much better for acceleration as it allows RPM to ramp up quicker out of the gate, then load the motor hard up top for wicked acceleration. The best part about this helix is the ability to adjust your spring tension. This easily allows you to dial in RPM with the secondary clutch which is much easier than adjusting the X3 primary.
Choose between two helix styles:
Performance Helix 1053: An aggressive helix with acceleration/higher horsepower/aggressive fast pace drivers in mind. Best for 190+ crank horsepower and up to 32" tires for 2 seat models. Best for 205+ crank horsepower 4 seat models up to 30" tires.
High Load Helix 1050: A slightly less aggressive angle than the 1053 helix with good acceleration gains/power transfer over the OEM helix. Designed for a heavier vehicle (4 seat), heavier tires, heavy sand load or crawling type riding in mind or for those running stock horsepower levels. Works excellent for for 120-230+ crank horsepower 2 seat models and 120-260+ crank horsepower 4 seat models.
Helix Choice: Keep in mind the helix is controlling how fast the secondary clutch shifts. A lighter, more powerful vehicle can shift faster with the Performance Helix without slowing down/bogging the engine. A heavier vehicle/heavier tire setup benefits from the High Load helix as it slows the shift down vs. the performance helix, so RPM can ramp up faster. Neither helix is faster for everyone, but the right helix choice will make your vehicle perform the best. The shift rate is somewhat adjustable by the secondary spring adjustment, but you still want to choose a helix that is right for your setup.
Our setup guideline will let you know how to set your weights for stock horsepower to 220 RWHP, 28" - 35" tires, 28-32" paddle tires, different altitudes & more. If running higher HP, let us know.
Primary weights are adjustable from 50 to 64 grams. Weights have more tip weight and act heavier. This means they also accelerate and up shift much harder.
Cooler running belt temps from a more efficient power transfer which results in longer belt and clutch life. With this kit and our Stryker belts (GBoost belt) we have ran thousands of hard miles in the dunes & trails at higher horsepower with ZERO belt failures.
Big acceleration gains and better power transfer to the rear wheels over replacing with OEM clutches
Close to stock engagement which is very smooth (Higher engagement options available if needed for Launch Control)
Our Recoil clutch weights are easily adjustable with simple magnets. They have a custom AA profile, the BEST coating on the market (nitrocarburizing) which has increased wear resistance, improved fatigue strength, and added surface lubricity. These clutch weights also offer great performance, and the ability to tune for many different applications or modification in the future, without the need to buy extra parts. The magnetic weights are the best option to properly place the mass where we need it on the weight for best performance for your application.
If choosing to assemble your own clutch, you would need our full clutch tool kit. You can add the full tool kit with the drop down, see the description on those tools HERE
If having us set up the clutches for you (optional) you would only need a clutch puller and your OEM belt removal tool to install the clutches.
NOTE: Kits are build to order with a 3-5 day lead time.
