Product Description
Improve Your Steering
Your beat-up stock rack can limit
what your Can-Am Defender can do. Unleash your machine's capabilities with
SuperATV's Can-Am Defender HD8 RackBoss 2.0 Rack and Pinion. Our patented X24
Tech uses durable bushings at both ends of the rack, allowing you to reduce
wear by over 50% compared to stock. With RackBoss 2.0 installed, you can rely
on long-lasting performance that won't let you down.


Cutting-Edge X24 Tech and Dual Bushings
Wear and tear
isn't unusual, but we've implemented a dual PTFE bushing design to minimize
it. Our cleverly engineered X24 Tech incorporates robust bushings at both ends
of the rack. Therefore RackBoss 2.0 can handle larger hits and support bigger
tires without any loose steering. You'll experience like-new operation that
outlasts any other Defender steering rack. Plus, the integrated grease
fittings allow you to remove all the debris that accumulates when you tackle
muddy or watery terrains.

Swaged Tube Tie Rods

Looking for the perfect balance of strength and weight? Our steel-swaged tube
tie rods will get the job done. These tie rods are designed to maximize
durability without adding extra weight. The swaged design enhances the 7/8"
diameter tubing. And you get unparalleled strength with 16 mm inner ball and
sockets and 14 mm outer tie rod ends.

Solid Steel Bar Tie
Rods

Solid steel bar tie rods give you the robust strength you
need to ride through rough terrain. They're perfect for turning big tires
through slop and navigating boulder fields. The 1" diameter steel rod is
paired with beefy tie rod ends—3/4"outer tie rods and rebuildable inner tie
rods that use 3/4" rod threads and 16 mm rack threads. All that strength lets
you get wild.
