2021 Can-Am Defender XT HD10 Walk Around

Quick walk-around of my Defender XT HD10. I mentioned the front bumper twice, just in case you missed it the first time. Also, the driver seat is adjustable, so you can slide it back and forward.
The video was cut short by about 10 seconds, but you get the gist of it.

They are nice . Should Come with half doors to protect your feet and keep your feet in. until you roll one over. You won't realize how useful keeping your feet in will be.

Good video

[@midgebarker4022]

I'm in the market. Just don't know if I want a windshield or not. May try without. Can always add later. Great review. Nice Machine.

[@kentdelaney3462]

If I was to pick only 1 accessory, it would be the windshield, but you're right, you can always add it at a later time.

Same how much

How’s the ride over rough terrain? I’m looking at a hd8 machine.

[@kentdelaney3462]

It is the smoothest SXS I've ever driven/ridden in.

[@riverrunner4958]

Nice machine! Now that you have over 3000 miles on it has anything loosen up and started to rattle-vibrate squeak ect? Does the removable glove box rattle or make noise while riding? My buddy has a Polaris with just over 2000 miles and his rattles and squeaks really bad already. He also has put almost $1500 in repairs already like drive axles bearings and seals. You should not haft to put that kind of money in a machine a few years old for what they cost and he does not use it that hard just general trail riding.

[@kentdelaney3462]

Mine has squeaked since about 1 week after I got it, but I haven't had to replace any parts that I didn't break myself (knock on wood). The glove box does not rattle at all.

[@reddfoxx2861]

Thinking about one of these. How has it held up. How many miles. Very informative video.

[@kentdelaney3462]

So far it has held up great and I've had zero problems (that weren't caused by me). Took a big ride yesterday, actually. I've put a little over 3,000 miles on it.

[@Dan-qt7kq]

I got a used one, at 400 miles, another 50 and blew the front diff, I now hear that’s a common problem, under warranty but still is new one just as bad. Dropped off bike to have them look, picked up next day fixed. They carry one in stock…….hmmmm, they know the problem exists. But let me tell ya about how nice it is though. Comfortable and quite, rides like a caddy. Had a mule, best work machine ever, then moved to a mid size pos….er Polaris ok, now this HD8 I have, best one yet.

[@asthedaysofnoahliveright8565]

What is the cost of that model? Approximately if you don’t want to give what you paid for it. I am thinking about going Honda’s line, but I know cam a.m. is quality too.

[@kentdelaney3462]

As shown, around $21,500.

I'm looking at the 2021 Limited with hvac but keep hearing about a lot of problems with the hvac not working right away.

[@kentdelaney3462]

Really? I haven't heard that. My friend just bought a Limited. He hasn't had any issues, but he's only had it for 3 weeks. I ended up buying an Inferno brand heater (should be here in a couple weeks). I don't care about the AC, and I don't like the fact that you sacrifice some middle seat leg room with the factory HVAC.

@chrispistol6043 sorry, I misread your question! You are correct.

[@Dan-qt7kq]

My only issue is there are no signal lights, too big of a machine tp use hand signals.

[@kentdelaney3462]

I just bought a turn single kit. I've never seen a SXS come with turn signals from the factory.

[@Dan-qt7kq]

@@kentdelaney3462 ya, I know, I will too, but factory installation would be so much nicer, especially when you buy one all loaded up then you need to add them, what kit and was it difficult to install?

@@Dan-qt7kq www.corbincustomworks.com/collections/canam-defender-accessories/products/canam-defender-turn-signal-kit I haven't installed it yet, but a friend of mine just did, and he said it took about 2 hours. I purchased the one with the "ghost lights" that replace the Can-Am's signature lights.

I agree however I feel like most of the competition is similar.

How is the engine breaking? Polaris engine breaking is crap.

[@kentdelaney3462]

Really? I've never noticed that on a Polaris. I have been satisfied with it.
