Can-Am Maverick R MAX – Baja Race Trailing Arm Rear with Dual Shock Conversion
The AVID Racing Maverick R Rear Race Trailing Arm and Dual Shock Conversion Kit is designed to be the perfect complement to the front AVID Race Control Arm Kit , transforming the Maverick R into a fully-fledged racing platform from front to rear . The system replaces the stock rear suspension with a racing trailing arm setup and converts the vehicle to a dual shock rear setup capable of handling real-world desert and short course loads.
The kit is based on a new rear shock tower that ties into the factory pivot points. While welding is required, it's been kept to a minimum and simplified to the max, with clear positioning points and integrated bracing. Once installed, the tower accepts a 16" (5-tube) bypass shock and a 14" (2.0) coilover , creating a true race-tuned main shock and bypass setup, with travel range and control matched to the AVID front suspension system.
The racing-style trailing arms are designed for strength, ground clearance, and proper motion ratios . The geometry is tuned to work with the dual-shock system, ensuring the rear remains stable over bumps, absorbs large impacts well, and maintains traction out of corners.
What does this mean in practice?
-
True racing rear suspension – dual shock absorber system (coilover + bypass) provides a wide range of adjustment needed for driving at real racing pace.
-
Consistency with AVID front kit – Rear suspension geometry and travel are designed to perfectly complement the Maverick R racing front system.
-
Significantly more durability and control than stock – race-style trailing arms, a dedicated tower and proper bypass shock absorbers change the character of the rear suspension from trail to race.
-
Better thermal management and less fading – 5-tube bypass and separate coilovers share the load, lowering operating temperatures and maintaining stable damping during long desert runs.
