The Baja Designs S8 10-inch Shock Tower Kit is a bolt-on auxiliary light bar for the Can-Am Maverick R that mounts to the upper shock tower, not the bumper or roof. The manufacturer rates each S8 at 6,324 raw lumens and 4.20A (57.9W), using a Driving/Combo beam that spreads light for both near and far coverage. This amber variant suits riders who want a Maverick R shock tower light bar with a fitted Baja mount instead of a generic bar and improvised brackets.
The kit ships with everything needed for the mount: one S8 light bar, a wiring harness, two mounting brackets, and the hardware. The manufacturer's launch announcement says the bar bolts straight to the upper shock tower and was engineered for a direct bolt-on fit, which keeps the install close to factory and avoids the heat and visibility issues that come with bumper-top mounting. For trail and desert night riding, that low-profile position is the main reason to pay for the Baja unit. Fitment should be confirmed before ordering, because the manufacturer's product page and its installation hub list different model years.
The manufacturer's product page lists the kit for the 2024-2025 Can-Am Maverick R, while its installation hub lists the same part number for 2024-2026 models. Details vary between those sources, so confirm fitment with the manufacturer before ordering.
The manufacturer lists one 10-inch S8 Driving/Combo light bar, one wiring harness, two mounting brackets, and all necessary hardware. No separate mounts are needed for the shock tower installation.
The manufacturer specifies 57.9W and 4.20A per light. Check that your vehicle's electrical setup and any switch or relay you add can handle that load.
Baja Designs publishes an installation sheet for part 448196, and the kit is designed as a plug-and-play install with its own harness and brackets. Expect a standard hand-tool job: basic sockets, a way to route the harness cleanly, and time to set the bar level before tightening. The installation sheet was not reviewed in full during research, so follow its step order and torque guidance rather than relying on this summary.
