Beefy Axles for Your Utility Machine
Your utility Can-Am Defender HD8 is supposed to help you with work, not create more work for you. And busting an axle on your way out to the worksite is just that.. more work. Keep your workload light by upgrading your stock axles to these Can-Am Defender HD8 Rhino 2.0 Axles by SuperATV. They’re made out of 4340 chromoly steel and heated treated for increased longevity and strength. We've tested them against your OEM axles, and they're nearly twice as strong. This upgrade is a no-brainer.
The Rhino 2.0 Formula
When developing Rhino 2.0 axles, we had one thing in mind—strength. We went with high-strength 4340 chromoly steel, bigger axles shafts, and maximized CV joints. Larger CV joints give them high articulation angles and allow them to run cool. Let’s put it like this—better materials combined with bigger parts make these axles nearly two times stronger than stock. And it’s all made with our Rhino 2.0 formula:
A massive 4mm increase in shaft size
End-to-end chromoly construction
Proprietary heat treatment
Lab Tested and Field Proven
We're riders just like you, and we know how vital axles are to the functionality of your ride. So we made it our mission to build the best Can-Am Defender HD8 axles possible. When you buy axles from us, you're buying directly from the designers, engineers, testers, and manufacturers. We've invested in a top-of-the-line testing facility so that when we tell you these axles are the best, we can prove it.
