The Strongest 72" Radius Rods for Your Can-Am Maverick X3 RS — Built to Outlast the Trail

Stop trusting weak stock radius rods on a machine built for serious performance. The Black Ops Machine Can-Am Maverick X3 72" Billet Radius Rods are machined from aerospace-grade 6061 billet aluminum and equipped with Teflon race heims, RH/LH 5/8" bearings, and 17-4 stainless steel spacers — delivering a direct bolt-on upgrade for 2017+ X3 RS 72" models that outperforms stock in every measurable way, backed by a lifetime warranty.

Why X3 RS Riders Choose Black Ops Machine 72" Radius Rods

• Aerospace-Grade 6061 Billet Aluminum – Aircraft-quality aluminum machined for a strength-to-weight ratio that leaves stock rods behind on every trail and dune.
• Teflon Race Heims – Superior articulation and longevity over standard heims — smoother suspension movement, less binding, and longer service life under hard use.
• RH/LH 5/8" Spherical Bearings – Full set of right-hand and left-hand threaded bearings for precise alignment and easy geometry adjustment.
• 17-4 Stainless Steel Spacers – High-strength, corrosion-resistant spacers that maintain consistent fitment and won't degrade in harsh conditions.
• High-Clearance Design – Maximizes ground clearance and reduces the risk of terrain contact that initiates rod failure on stock geometry.
• Direct Bolt-On Fitment – Designed specifically for the Can-Am Maverick X3 RS 72" — no modifications, no fabrication required.
• Available in Black Anodized or Raw Finish – Choose the look that matches your build without compromising durability.
• Lifetime Warranty – Black Ops Machine tests every product before it ships and backs it with a no-asterisk lifetime warranty.

Why Teflon Race Heims Outperform Standard Heims on the Trail

Standard spherical bearings rely on metal-on-metal contact that requires regular lubrication and wears quickly under the constant articulation of UTV suspension. Teflon-lined race heims use a PTFE (Teflon) liner between the ball and the race, eliminating metal-on-metal contact entirely. The result is smoother movement with less friction, no binding under extreme articulation angles, and significantly longer service life — all without the need for greasing. In a radius rod application, this translates directly to more precise steering feedback, reduced suspension bind through rough terrain, and a joint that stays smooth and tight long after standard heims have worn loose. Combined with 6061 billet aluminum rods and 17-4 stainless spacers, the Black Ops Machine 72" kit is engineered to perform at the highest level from the first ride to the thousandth.

Real Riders, Real Results

"Installed these on my X3 RS 72" and the difference in steering feel was immediate. No more vague front end — it tracks exactly where you point it. The Teflon heims are noticeably smoother than anything else I've run."

"Two seasons of hard desert and rock riding and these rods look and feel like new. The lifetime warranty is real — Black Ops Machine stands behind their stuff. Won't run anything else."
