Yamaha YXZ1000R YX3 Hybrid Rear Chassis Conversion Kit

The AVID Racing YXZ1000R “YX3” Hybrid Rear Chassis Kit transforms the YXZ platform by integrating modern Can-Am Maverick X3 trailing arm geometry to fix rear suspension limitations and improve stability at speed. This system re-engineers the rear of the chassis to correct inherent limitations in factory geometry while significantly increasing strength, stability, and suspension performance.

At the core of the YX3 system is a relocated rear pivot position, designed to address common toe change and scrub characteristics found in factory configurations. By repositioning critical suspension mounting points, this kit delivers improved rear-end stability, more predictable handling, and better overall suspension behavior in high-speed off-road environments.

Constructed from 4130 chromoly plate and tubing, the YX3 chassis system reinforces key structural areas while providing a foundation for high-performance suspension setups.

What This System Does

The YX3 Hybrid Rear Chassis Kit transforms the Yamaha YXZ1000R into a hybrid platform capable of running modern trailing arm geometry, dramatically improving rear suspension behavior, stability, and control.

By integrating Can-Am Maverick X3 trailing arm geometry, this system eliminates common limitations found in the factory YXZ setup and delivers a more predictable, planted feel under acceleration, braking, and high-speed terrain.

The result is a more stable rear end, improved tracking, and increased confidence at speed, especially in dunes, desert conditions, and aggressive off-road driving environments.

Who This Kit Is Built For

• Drivers pushing beyond stock limitations
• High-performance dune and desert builds
• Race-focused YXZ platforms
• Builders looking for modern suspension geometry

Why the YX3 Conversion Matters

Most suspension upgrades add travel.
The YX3 system corrects geometry—transforming how the YXZ handles, tracks, and performs at speed.
