Each takes the side-by-side riding experience to the next level, and is designed specifically to improve the lives of those who are out there working the land and also like to kick back and enjoy themselves.
Can-Am innovates with the new Defender PRO HD10, featuring a six-foot multifunctional cargo box along with a lower box storage area accessible from both sides which workers will certainly appreciate, and the new Defender Limited has climate control to maintain the perfect cab temperature year-round. Both are capable of working hard without sacrificing the fun factor so you can ride and play with friends and family when the duties are over.
You dont have to worry about weather in the 2020 Can-Am Defender Limited HD10. Off-roaders can brave the elements in style and comfort in the industrys first climate-controlled cockpit, which is fully enclosed. When the cold, heat, wind, or rain strike, the heating and newly added air conditioning system keep you comfortable for a dry, dust-free ride. Just set it to automatic mode and enjoy. It is also the quietest cab out there and is available as a three- or six-seater.
With its incredible versatility, the Defender PRO HD10 lets you do more and tow more while navigating demanding terrain.

A look at what is coming in the shop this season on Dirt Trax TV!
Coming up on an all-new episode of Dirt Trax TV. . .
Following a thrilling New Hampshire snowmobile adventure this past winter, Luke reunites with Polaris Regional Manager – Nick Vosinek and Polaris Brand Ambassador, Lenn Johnson for a group demo ride of the all-new Polaris RZR PRO XP in the versatile northeastern state.
Back at Dirt Trax HQ, Mark details how ARGO has maintained its dominance in the off-road marketplace with an in-depth look at the evolution of the Frontier platform of ARGO XTVs.
Then in TEST RIDE, Luke is excited to finally put the boots to the 2019 Honda Talon 1000X on his home turf.
ITP, the world’s #1 ATV/UTV aftermarket tire and wheel source, recently launched its 8-ply radial Terra Hook high performance, all-terrain tire.
Available in nine key sizes and made in the USA, the Terra Hooks are designed to fit virtually any SxS and utility ATV application. ITP claims the Terra Hooks to possibly be its most versatile product yet.
Perhaps the most defining characteristic about the Terra Hook tire is its non-directional tread design. With alternating shoulder elements and multi-angled lugs, the Terra Hook offers grip in any direction with enhanced forward and reverse motion – giving off-road enthusiasts supreme traction and radial tire performance over roots, rocks and other trail conditions.
Dirt Trax recently put a set of 30-inch ITP Terra Hooks to the test on our Can-Am Maverick Trail to see if they could live up to the claim of being the “ultimate high-performance trail riding tire”.
We were especially impressed with the grip when cornering hard as the vehicle tried to resist sliding. Exiting corners and hooking up quickly was described by AJ as “earth chewing traction” thanks to the unique tread design which has just the right combination of lugs and space (tread to void ratio) to maximize traction while properly draining mud, water and debris.
Furthermore, the Terra Hooks provided a smooth feel that wasn’t choppy and at the end of the day left us feeling less fatigued because of these tires’ proficiency to provide reduced vibration through the seat, chassis and even the steering wheel.
The Terra Hook tire is available in today’s most popular sizes ranging in 26-32 inches in diameter with an MSRP of $155-$203.
