Assault Industries MAS-223 Phoenix Heavy-Duty CV Axle | Can-Am Maverick X3

Built to Handle the Heat. Engineered to Conquer the Trail.

When you're pushing your Can-Am Maverick X3 to its limits, your CV axles experience tremendous heat and stress. High speeds, oversized tires, lift kits, long-travel suspension, and aggressive terrain all generate friction inside the CV joints that can quickly break down ordinary grease, leading to premature wear or complete axle failure.

The Assault Industries MAS-223 Phoenix Heavy-Duty CV Axle was engineered to solve that problem.

Featuring Assault Industries' revolutionary high-temperature Phoenix grease, oversized CV joints, and a heavy-duty 4340 chromoly steel axle shaft, the Phoenix Axle is built for riders who refuse to back off the throttle. Whether you're racing through the desert, climbing technical rock trails, blasting through mud, or spending all weekend in the dunes, this axle delivers the durability and performance needed to keep you moving.

Revolutionary High-Temperature CV Grease

The biggest advantage of the Phoenix Axle isn't just its strength—it's what protects that strength.

Unlike standard OEM CV grease that begins to lose viscosity under extreme heat, Assault Industries developed a proprietary high-temperature grease that maintains superior lubrication even during the most demanding rides.

This premium grease:

• Maintains lubrication during sustained high-speed riding
• Helps reduce friction and internal heat buildup
• Is virtually waterproof for superior protection in mud and water
• Handles extreme pressure under heavy loads
• Withstands temperatures exceeding 586°F (308°C)
• Helps extend CV joint life and improve long-term reliability

Whether you're racing across the desert or crawling over rocks, the Phoenix Axle is designed to keep performing long after ordinary axles begin to fail.

Oversized CV Joints for Maximum Articulation

Lifted suspension systems, long-travel kits, and offset A-arms place increased demands on your drivetrain.

The Phoenix Axle features oversized CV joints designed to operate smoothly at high articulation angles while minimizing friction and binding. This allows your suspension to cycle freely without sacrificing strength or reliability.

Perfect for:

• Lift kits
• Long-travel suspension
• Offset A-arms
• Rock crawling
• High-speed desert riding
• Extreme trail riding

Heavy-Duty 4340 Chromoly Construction

Every Phoenix Axle is manufactured from heat-treated 4340 chromoly steel, one of the strongest materials used in high-performance off-road driveline components.

Compared to factory axles, the Phoenix features:

• Larger axle shaft diameter
• Increased torsional strength
• Greater resistance to twisting and bending
• Improved durability under high horsepower and oversized tires

The result is an axle built to withstand the punishment that destroys ordinary OEM axles.
