Corey Wagner, a technician at State 8 Motorcycles in Medina, OH, shows how to install a new TrakMotive axle on a 2020 Polaris Sportsman 1000 XP.

The power and torque of modern Side x Sides can wreak havoc on axles and the trend of installing lift kits, with bigger wheels and tires, only increases the amount of stress put on axles. This is why factory axles are usually one of the first things to break or need replaced in the driveline.
