KWI Clutching DX3 Clutch Conversion | Defender HD10
The KWI DX3 Conversion Kit is a game-changing clutch upgrade for Can-Am Defender and Commander models equipped with the factory QRS primary. These machines don’t come with the same QRS clutch found in the Can-Am X3 lineup—what they have is a weaker, less durable version that wears quickly and isn’t compatible with standard X3 clutch kits.
KWI fixes that with the DX3 Conversion, a full clutch overhaul that replaces the weak OEM parts with true X3-spec components. This unlocks the ability to run our AO RC Clutch Kit, giving your machine better RPM control, stronger power delivery, and dramatically improved durability. It’s not just a fix—it’s a full transformation built for smoother response and long-term reliability.
Why do you need the DX3 Conversion?
- The factory Defender/Commander QRS clutch is known to wear out fast and delivers poor RPM consistency.
- Stock primaries are not compatible with X3-style clutch kits—until now.
- The DX3 swaps in X3-spec internals, letting you install a proven KWI clutch kit for real results.
