Bilstein 2017-2024 CanAm Maverick X3 Black Hawk Powersports UTV Shock (Rear Right) (2 Seat)
The Bilstein Black Hawk Powersports UTV Shocks are built for drivers who expect more out of their suspension, especially as modern machines like the CanAm Maverick X3 continue to push horsepower, speed, and overall capability to new levels. Designed as a direct fit coilover package, these shocks deliver race-proven performance with the adjustability needed to keep up with today’s high-output Side by Side platforms.
As vehicles like the Canam X3 have evolved with higher power and increased weight, suspension becomes one of the most critical components in maintaining control. The Black Hawk system is engineered to handle that added demand, providing consistent damping, improved bottom-out resistance, and a level of tuning that helps keep the chassis composed when the terrain gets unpredictable.
At the core of the system is Bilstein’s patented ZoneControl technology, featuring five independently tuned damping zones, three compression and two rebound. This position-sensitive design adapts throughout the suspension stroke, helping smooth out small chatter while progressively increasing resistance deeper into travel. Whether running high-speed desert lines or pushing a Maverick X3 through rough terrain, the result is a controlled, planted ride with a “bottomless” feel that inspires confidence behind the wheel.
Bilstein’s internal Jounce Cut Off (JCO) system replaces traditional bump stops with a two-stage hydraulic solution built directly into the shock. A 10-position external clicker allows riders to fine-tune bottom-out control, making it easier to adjust for heavier machines, added accessories, or more aggressive driving. For platforms like Canam models that are capable of serious speed, this added control becomes a key factor in maintaining stability during hard impacts and landings.
On the rebound side, the Rebound Cut Off (RCO) system helps manage suspension behavior at full droop, reducing harsh extension forces and keeping the vehicle more settled when the suspension unloads. This added level of control improves overall handling and can eliminate the need for external limit straps, simplifying the setup while improving performance.
The Black Hawk system features true 4-way adjustability, giving riders independent control over high-speed compression, low-speed compression, rebound, and JCO tuning. All adjustments are externally accessible, allowing for quick changes based on terrain, driving style, or added weight from accessories and gear. This is especially important for drivers dialing in newer platforms like the Maverick X3, where power and suspension tuning need to work together.
Construction is built around durability and heat management. Large-diameter, all-aluminum shock bodies paired with finned reservoirs help maintain consistent performance during long rides and high-speed abuse. Dual-rate springs with crossover rings provide a balance between ride comfort and bottom-out resistance, while threaded spring seats allow for precise ride height and preload adjustments.
Fully rebuildable and revalveable, the Black Hawk shocks are designed to grow with the build. As setups evolve, whether adding weight, increasing speed, or refining performance, these shocks can be serviced and tuned to match.
For UTV Source customers running high-performance platforms like the Canam X3 or looking to get more out of their Side by Side, the Bilstein Black Hawk system delivers a level of control, comfort, and adjustability that keeps up with how these machines are actually driven.
