The 2018 Can-Am Defender HD10 XMR is a rugged and powerful side-by-side designed specifically for mud and challenging off-road environments. Powered by a 976cc Rotax V-twin engine that delivers around 72 horsepower, this model is built for high torque and reliable performance, even in tough conditions. The HD10 XMR is equipped with Can-Am's Smart-Lok front differential, which features on-the-fly 4WD with automatic and manual modes, providing optimal traction when you need it most. This system, combined with the heavy-duty Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), makes the Defender HD10 XMR capable of tackling muddy trails, rocky terrain, and deep water crossings.

The Defender HD10 XMR includes several unique features specifically designed for mud riding, such as a snorkeled air intake and a relocated high-mount radiator, helping prevent mud and debris from clogging the system and ensuring better cooling in extreme conditions. The side-by-side rides on 30-inch ITP Cryptid tires mounted on 14-inch aluminum wheels, offering exceptional grip in muddy and slippery conditions. It also comes with a factory-installed 4,500-lb winch, providing the extra utility needed to pull yourself or others out of tricky situations. With an impressive 15 inches of ground clearance, arched A-arms, and comfortable seating, the 2018 Can-Am Defender HD10 XMR is a powerful, specialized choice for off-road enthusiasts who want a side-by-side that can take on the toughest environments with ease.
