2017-2021 Can Am Maverick X3 Shift-Tek Ultimate Clutching Packages

Excluding 2022 X3 Turbo RR

The EVP Shift-Tek line of clutching packages and components consist of technology originally developed for racing where adjustability and versatility play a key role to winning success. Clutching changes are necessary to keep the power in the proper RPM range and with our innovative billet helix design, adjusting the RPMS is a very simple 5-minute job for the racer or enthusiast. Our Shift-Tek clutch kits include our custom geometry weights which improve the overall shift making them quicker to react and deliver the power. Also included are proprietary primary spring and some kits a secondary spring as well. The EVP primary spring helps raise the engagement RPM for use with our Launch Control setup.  Additionally, as heavier, more aggressive weights are added for high HP applications, generally the engagement rpm will drop which is solved with our primary spring.  Our billet helixes are each custom tailored specifically for your X3 power level and riding style.  Due to the unique design features and adjustability built into each Shift-Tek clutch kit, getting it dialed in for different riding conditions (trail and sand) is a simple task.

Select the clutch kit from the dropdown below that corresponds to the engine power level of your X3.

Our knowledgeable sales staff can help you in dialing vehicle.  

THE EVP DIFFERENCE

Clutch Weights: The EVP/QSC primary weights have many innovative features which set them apart from the others on the market.

• Our weights are made from hardened carbon steel which make them much stronger compared to other weights on the market which can break under hard use. 
• EVP/QSC weights are different color zinc coated which add another layer of protection while keeping them looking new and to aid in identification during installation. 
• The primary clutch must remain balanced therefore weights of the same color are installed opposite one another. Since some kits require 3 different mass weights, having them color coded eliminates any confusion. 
• Our built in, shouldered bushing is a unique feature that only our weights have. 
• By having the bushing machined and pressed into the arm, it eliminates the need to reinstall the OEM washers on each side of the weight which is frustrating especially if you lose one during installation.
• The OEM weights have a very shallow or flat arc which contributes to a lazy shift pattern. 
• Our weights have a more aggressive arc which makes for much quicker upshift and backshift. 
• Additionally, except for our big turbo applications where additional mass is required, the weights are kept thin without excessive mass on the tip for quicker backshift.

Billet Helix / Bearing Housing: The EVP billet adjustable secondary helix and bearing housing is not only a work of art but adds a new level of functionality and adjustability to the OEM secondary clutch.  Borrowing experience from our early snowmobiling days, we wanted to make it easy to adjust the torsion spring which in turn drastically affects the operating rpm of the engine.  Many consumers don’t understand how the spring holes effect the shift pattern or how to change it in the stock helix. Complicating matters is the difficulty involved in disassembly/reassembly and requiring specialty tools for the OEM setup. Once installed, the EVP Shift-Tek billet helix and bearing housing solves these issues by easily allowing 90 degrees of spring tension adjustment without disassembling the clutch. The advantage is you can increase or decrease your operating rpm just by changing the clocking of the billet bearing housing in relationship to the helix.  

• Adjustments are performed in 10 degree increments simply by loosening the outer socket head cap screws and twisting the cap to the next recessed bolt locations.
• A customer can take an X3 setup for trail and bring the vehicle to the dunes with only minor clutching adjustments! 
• Our unique setup allows up to 400 rpm of adjustment with a simple rotation of the bearing cap.
• Another unique feature of our bearing housing is a 30% increase of the integrated bushing. 
• Increased bearing surface area equals better sheave parallelism which in turn means more consistent belt grip and belt life. 

Clutch Springs: Our proprietary springs are manufactured from the highest quality Chrome Silicon steel, then shot peened and preset to relive stress for a long life.

• Our different primary springs are matched to the different clutch weights / clutch kits to deliver the desired engagement RPM’s.

Finally, we engineered the boss on the bearing housing to have an inverted cone shape so sand, dirt and water is ejected from the sliding surface rather than sticking to the surfaces which can damage the bushing.  During testing of our clutching components, we drove with the clutch cover off to make sure they would be durable in sandy and dusty conditions however WE ALWAYS recommend driving with the clutch cover ON.
