2026 Can-Am Defender HD9 Compass Green
The Defender is one of Can-Am’s toughest side-by-side workhorse and it knows how to play just as hard! So, whether it’s for working, hunting, farming or straight-up playing, there’s a Defender with the power to make it happen.
ENGINEERED FOR HEAVY WORKLOADS
Unbeatable and now more accessible than ever
Voted the Best Pure Work SSV by UTV Driver! With its heavy-duty chassis, skid plates, and reinforced frame, the Defender is powerful, trusted by farmers and ranchers alike—and now more accessible than ever!
COMFORT THAT OUTLASTS THE JOB
A decade of design know-how in every ride
Strap into the cushiest ride ever thanks to VERSA-PRO seating and its contoured bench seat with better bolsters for improved cab entrance and exit, a noise-reducing interior, and on some models, an HVAC system.
BUILT TO HANDLE DEMANDING JOBS
Consistent performance you can count on
Powered by 100 years of Rotax engine innovation, the Defender boasts industry-leading towing capacity, torque and cargo box capacity. It’s built for long hours of hard work with no complaints ever.
Features May Include:
CLASS-LEADING TORQUE, QUIETER ROTAX ENGINES
HD7, HD9 & HD10
The HD7 Engine (52 hp / 42 lb-ft torque) is the king of the mid-cc class! The break-in period, early maintenance and frequent valve adjustments are all things of the past. The powerpack design delivers an improved riding experience, with less noise & vibration.
TAME THE BEAST
