With a perfect balance of power, precision, and comfort, the Defender DPS HD9 delivers a commanding ride that adapts to your needs—whether you’re hauling cargo, towing heavy loads, exploring rugged terrain, or enjoying off-road recreation.

Features may include:

• Rotax® HD9 V-Twin

At the heart of the Defender DPS HD9 lies the Rotax® HD9 V-twin engine, delivering 89 horsepower of smooth, reliable power. Its low-RPM torque gives confidence on steep climbs, heavy loads, and challenging terrain, while the high-RPM performance ensures excitement and speed on the open trail. With a 15,000-mile engine service interval and low fuel consumption, the Defender is built to go the distance.

• Adaptive Steering for Every Terrain

Can-Am’s Dynamic Power Steering adjusts effort based on speed and terrain. Steering is light and effortless at low speeds or when maneuvering tight trails, yet firm and precise at higher speeds for stability and control. DPS reduces rider fatigue and ensures responsive handling in any environment.

• Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) & Double A-Arm Front Suspension

The Defender DPS HD9 is built on a high-strength steel frame and features TTA (Torsional Trailing A-arm) rear suspension with 11 inches of travel, and double A-arm front suspension with 10 inches of travel. The setup absorbs bumps, rocks, and ruts while maintaining stability, giving a smooth ride for driver and passengers alike. Its 11 inches of ground clearance lets you tackle obstacles confidently, and the durable construction ensures long-lasting performance.

• Dual-Level Cargo Box

The Defender DPS HD9’s cargo box is designed for maximum utility, with 600 lbs of cargo capacity, dual storage levels, and a tilt-assist dumping system. The vehicle also boasts a 1,000-lb towing capacity, making it ideal for hauling trailers, equipment, or supplies on the job site or adventure trail. Reinforced, anti-rust panels and a removable divider ensure your cargo stays secure under any conditions.

• Selectable 2WD / 4WD / Turf Mode & Electronic Rear Differential Lock

Go anywhere with selectable 2WD, 4WD, or Turf Mode for minimal turf impact. An electronic locking rear differential increases traction in loose, slippery, or uneven terrain, while optimized AWD geometry provides maximum grip and control on hills, mud, sand, or snow.

• Adjustable Seating & Steering

Comfortable seating for up to three passengers, adjustable tilt steering, and intuitive controls ensure an ergonomic ride for drivers of all sizes. The low step-in height and wide cabin allow easy entry and exit, while spacious legroom and supportive seats reduce fatigue during long days in the saddle.

• LED Headlights & Taillights, Roll Cage, Seat Belts

Full LED headlights and taillights ensure visibility in low-light conditions, while robust roll protection, 3-point seat belts, and reinforced cabin design protect occupants. Controls are easily reachable, giving full command of the vehicle without distraction.

Whether it’s muddy trails, rocky paths, deep snow, or steep inclines, the Defender DPS HD9 adapts to virtually any condition. High-quali
