Hubs

Fortin Racing, Inc. has applied over 40 years of off-road racing drive train experience to the Can-Am X3 rear driveline. The mission was to improve the strength and reliability of the rear hub, upright, bearings, CV’s, axles and brakes. With the increased loads from larger diameter tires and wheels, heavier vehicle weights, and the demands of endurance off-road racing, a complete redesign was required. Starting with the upright or bearing carrier, the stock cast aluminum part was redesigned utilizing aerospace quality 7075 billet aluminum. Keeping all the stock link and trailing arm pivots in place, the stock bushings have been replaced

with precision spherical ball bearings. The rear wheel bearings have been replaced with large 4.3” taper roller bearings. The rear hub hat has been made with light 6061-T6 billet aluminum to keep rotating weight to a minimum while keeping the stock 12mm 4 bolt wheel stud pattern. For improved braking power, larger 11” diameter rotors and exclusive Fortin 4 piston radial mount race calipers by StopTech have been incorporated. Piston bore diameters have been designed to be used with the stock master cylinder. The stock metric brake line banjo fitting bolts directly on the caliper.  Applying years of CV joint manufacturing experience, 300m and aerospace alloys have been used in an all-new non-plunging high angle CV joint. The CV’s are bolted to the inner and outer stub axles flanges eliminating the use of wire spring clips and making the assembly more serviceable. The high angle CV boots are fixed to removable flanges as well. The 300m axle shafts are custom made to the required length for the specific width of the car. The kit comes complete with inner stub axles that are through-bolted into the rear differential.

Made for the YXZ 1000, this 7075 billet upright maintains stock mounting locations while putting the UCA, LCA, and tie rod in double shear. It uses the OEM wheel bearing so that the OEM CV’s and axles can be used. Check out the YXZ hub hat assembly that can be used in conjunction with this upright to maximize weight savings and strength.

Brake rotor designed to give more braking power to UTV’s using Fortin front and rear hubs. The FD206567 is currently used on our Can-Am front and rear hubs. The wavy profile of the blade rotor design reduces weight and helps reduce tapered pad wear.
