KEMIMOTO Seat Side Pad for Can-Am Maverick X3 MAX - Thigh Protection

In this review the KEMIMOTO seat side pad is judged as a simple, practical upgrade for Can-Am Maverick X3 and X3 MAX owners who regularly mount and dismount their UTVs. The single biggest reason to buy is the added cushioning where the seat's outer plastic meets the rider's thigh, which noticeably reduces bruising and scraping during entry and exit. Installation is straightforward and customers report the pair stays in place, so this review finds the pads deliver a clear comfort and protection gain without complicated fitment or heavy modification.

Key Features

• Thigh protection: The pad creates a cushioned barrier that prevents abrasions and bruises when getting in and out of the vehicle.
• PU foam construction: Durable PU foam resists wear, chemicals and moisture so the pads are suitable for off-road environments.
• Anti-slip surface: The textured finish helps keep the leg planted and reduces slipping while entering or exiting.
• Flexibility: Flexible foam absorbs sudden pressure, improving comfort on rough trails and against hard plastic edges.
• Left and right fit: Each pad is uniquely molded for the outer seat panels so both sides align and remain stable during use.
• Vehicle compatibility: Designed specifically to fit Maverick X3, X3 MAX model years 2017 through 2024 and Maverick R 2024 for seamless integration.

Who It's For

The KEMIMOTO seat side pad is best for Maverick X3 and X3 MAX owners who want a low-effort interior accessory to reduce thigh bruising and protect clothing from rough seat edges. Riders who frequently enter and exit the passenger or driver seat on rocky trails will appreciate the added cushioning and anti-slip texture.

This is not for someone looking to reupholster seats or address deep structural seat damage; it is an add-on comfort and protection piece rather than a full seat replacement. If you need full-seat support or integrated harness padding, look for a dedicated seat kit instead.
