Proven in Collaboration with Race Teams:

Developed and refined through real-world testing with top-level racing teams.

Extreme Durability:

Built with premium-rated components to resist heat, vibration, dust, and moisture.

Proven Reliability:

Engineered to perform without failure—even in the harshest conditions.

At STEELE, we design our own electronic systems from the ground up—including custom PCBs and integrated speed controllers—specifically for high-performance cooling. Unlike off-the-shelf solutions, our hardware is purpose-built for motorsports, allowing us to embed advanced features like Soft Start Technology directly into the control logic.

This level of control ensures smooth ramp-up, protects vehicle electrical systems, and optimizes fan performance under extreme conditions. By handling every detail of the board layout, firmware, and motor control in-house, we deliver reliability and responsiveness no third-party system can match

X3_Upgrade_Kit_CFM_Chart — Testing shows the STEELE Pro fan delivers a 24% increase in max airflow and a 28% improvement in average airflow at 35 seconds—keeping your X3 cooler when it counts.

Built to Move More Air.
Designed to Win.

Upgrade your Can-Am Maverick X3 with the STEELE Pro Brushless Radiator Fan Motor—engineered for serious airflow, reduced heat soak, and reliable cooling under extreme off-road conditions.

Cooler intake temps mean denser air, stronger combustion, and more power when it counts. This is race-proven performance, built to keep your engine in the zone—run after run.

+28% More Airflow

Race-Proven Airflow Advantage

Sustains higher CFM under load—delivering better heat rejection, consistent cooling, and proven performance in high-demand racing environments.

Superior Airflow Curve

Engineered for Endurance

While OEM airflow levels off, STEELE keeps climbing. Our system maintains high CFM all the way through—ideal for long-haul abuse, extreme temps, and serious race conditions.

X3_Upgrade_Kit_Fraw_Chart — Testing shows the STEELE Pro fan cuts startup draw by 98%, preventing the 57A spike seen with OEM—helping your X3 run cooler and smarter under pressure.

More Cooling. Less Draw.
Smarter Performance.

STEELE’s integrated soft-start technology eliminates the 58-amp surge seen in OEM brushed fans—delivering smooth startup at just 1A.
This prevents voltage dips, relay stress, and wiring overloads during power-on. No additional harness or wiring upgrades are needed—just bolt in and go.

Low-Draw, High-Performance Advantage

-98% Startup Current Spike

STEELE integrated soft-start technology drops startup current from 58A to just 1A—preventing voltage dips, protecting switches and relays, and eliminating the surge damage from OEM brushed fans.

Integrated Soft Start- No additional harness required

System-Safe Power Curve

Efficient Average Amp Draw

While OEM fans spike and fluctuate, STEELE delivers consistent power at just 15A—ensuring stable operation during high-load conditions without overloading your electrical system.

X3_Upgrade_Kit_Efficiency_Chart — STEELE Brushless fans delivered a 37% improvement in airflow efficiency compared to OEM during a 35-second test—helping your X3 stay cooler with less electrical demand.

Engineered for Efficiency.
Built to Perform.

The STEELE Pro Brushless Fan delivers more airflow per amp—reducing electrical load while increasing cooling output. It’s a smarter, more efficient solution for high-demand racing and off-road environments.

Efficiency Under Load

+37% Greater CFM per Amp

While OEM efficiency drops, STEELE holds strong—delivering more airflow without drawing additional power. Ideal for extended heat cycles and sustained load conditions.

Tested Results That Matter

129 CFM per Amp Measured at 35 Seconds

Our efficiency advantage isn’t theoretical. In a real-world 35-second test, STEELE sustained 129 CFM/A—outperforming the OEM’s 94 CFM/A by 35 CFM per amp.

Got Questions? We've Got the Answers.

From install tips to technical specs, here’s everything you need to know about our STEELE Pro Brushless Radiator Fan Motor Upgrade for the Can-Am X3.

What makes this STEELE Brushless Upgrade better than the OEM Can-Am radiator fan?

The STEELE Pro Brushless Motor Upgrade outperforms OEM by delivering 28% more airflow and 37% higher cooling efficiency. It sustains high CFM even under load, meaning better temperature control, less heat soak, and more consistent performance in race and recreational environments.

Is this upgrade safe for recreational and trail use, or just for racing?

Absolutely. While race-proven, our brushless motor upgrade is ideal for any rider who demands better cooling, from weekend warriors to full-time racers.

Does this fan require a separate controller or is it plug-and-play?

It’s designed to be plug-and-play with OEM wiring, no external controller needed. Our motors will soft-start with direct power.

What models are compatible with this upgrade?

This kit is engineered specifically for the Can-Am Maverick X3 (2017 and newer). It’s a direct-fit upgrade that replaces the OEM brushed motor inside the factory radiator fan assembly without the need for a full shroud replacement.

How does STEELE Soft Start Technology benefit your electrical system?

Our proprietary Soft Start circuitry gradually ramps up fan speed at startup, eliminating electrical spikes and reducing inrush current. This protects your Can-Am’s wiring harness and battery system—especially valuable in builds with audio, lights, or other accessories.

Can you install the STEELE Brushless Fan Motor Upgrade yourself?

Yes, installation is designed to be DIY-friendly with basic tools. The brushless motor mounts directly into your factory radiator fan shroud. Most customers complete the upgrade in under an hour with standard hardware and wiring.

What does the IP68 rating mean for performance?

An IP68 waterproof rating means our sealed brushless motor is fully protected against dust, mud, and water intrusion. Whether you're racing through silt beds or tackling deep creek crossings, you can count on consistent performance without failure.
