2026 Can-Am Defender HD11: Built for Midwest Work & Play

The 2026 Can-Am Defender HD11 lineup raises the bar for utility side-by-sides, delivering more power, durability, and comfort for Midwest farmers and recreational riders. Powered by a new 999cc Rotax inline-3 engine producing 95 horsepower, the HD11 offers strong low-end torque, smooth throttle response, and dependable performance for hauling, towing, and trail riding. With up to 2,500 lbs of towing capacity and approximately 1,500 lbs of payload, it’s built to handle demanding farm work just as easily as weekend adventures.

Designed for rough terrain, the HD11 features arched double A-arm suspension, up to 14 inches of ground clearance on select trims, reinforced skid plates, and upgraded braking for confidence in mud, fields, and backwoods trails. Can-Am also focused heavily on comfort, offering quieter operation, improved seating, and available factory-installed enclosed cabs with heat and air conditioning—perfect for Midwest weather year-round.
