Mud does not just get the pads dirty. It grinds them away.<\/p>\n<p>That is why we make <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/wild-boar-brass-brake-pads-for-can-am-maverick-x3\">Wild Boar Brass Brake Pads for the Can-Am Maverick X3 (All Models) (2016+)<\/a>. The set comes with installation instructions and is built for riders who take their X3 into the wet stuff.<\/p>\n<h2>Mud is sandpaper<\/h2>\n<p>Brakes on a side-by-side sit right down by the wheels, so they catch everything the tires throw. In a mud hole, clay and sand get packed between pad and rotor. Every time you hit the brakes, that grit scrubs both surfaces. Softer pad compounds can wear down quickly in those conditions, and riders often notice brakes getting weak or noisy after a few muddy rides.<\/p>\n<h2>Water, speed and the X3<\/h2>\n<p>Creek crossings and deep puddles soak the pads and rotors. Wet brakes can feel soft for the first few stops after you climb out of the water. Brass pads are a common choice for wet and muddy riding because the harder metallic material is made to keep grabbing when conditions are bad.<\/p>\n<p>The Maverick X3 is a fast machine. When you are carrying speed into a muddy turn or down a wet hill, you need the brakes to bite every time. Many X3 owners also run larger tires, which adds rotating weight the brakes have to slow down. Durable pads help keep stopping power steady through a long day of hard riding.<\/p>\n<h2>Signs it is time for new pads<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Grinding or squealing when you brake<\/li>\n<li>A soft or long pedal<\/li>\n<li>The machine pulling to one side under braking<\/li>\n<li>Thin or glazed friction material when you look at the pads<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When you replace pads, look over the rotors too. Deep grooves will wear new pads faster. After installing, bed the pads in with several moderate stops before heading back to the mud.<\/p>\n<h2>Fitment check<\/h2>\n<p>These pads are listed for all Can-Am Maverick X3 models from 2016 on. Confirm your model year before ordering. Order enough sets to cover every caliper you plan to service, so all corners wear evenly.
