A Prop Shaft as Tough as Your Defender
We know you like to get down and dirty in your Defender. You’ve taken your machine through everything imaginable, from trails and creeks to swamps and mud holes. Now your OEM prop shaft is busted and it’s time to upgrade your UTV’s backbone. Meet Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts from SuperATV—the prop shaft that’s stronger and longer-lasting. They come paired with U-series U-joints that wear less and run smoother than OEM U-joints, or you can choose oversized CV joints built to last. If you’re looking for a replacement, Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts will drive your Can-Am Defender through tougher terrain than an OEM shaft ever could.
Superior Construction
We built Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts with .120” tube walls and a 1.75” diameter tube. That’s bigger and thicker than your OEM prop shaft. It’s also made of chromoly steel alloy unlike your OEM carbon steel prop shaft. Plus they’re balanced and phased for no vibration and no wobble. They won’t break like stock even when you’re taking on creeks, rocks, mud, and hills. It’s built for the way you ride.
U-Series U-Joints
The maximized shaft beats OEM strength but we still need U-joints that beat out OEM durability. The U-Series uses needle bearings, just like OEM, but are made with a superior 4340 chromoly steel body. These beefy U-joints are sealed tight to prevent wear and require no maintenance. That means that just by installing them and riding, they’ll outlast your stock prop shaft by a country mile. The U-series will keep your prop shaft in one piece and keep you rolling through the worst of it.
Upgrade to C-Series
Upgrade your Defender with our C-Series prop shafts. We use oversized CV joints with a chomoly cage, spider, and cup for impressively durable operation. The tough boot seals out water and dust, reducing wear and tear over time. The CV joint ensures there are no balance issues or wobble, giving you a smooth ride.
Use with Our Cast or Billet Aluminum Carrier Bearings
Our Rhino Driveline Prop Shafts are compatible with SuperATV Carrier Bearings only. That’s great news for you, because our carrier bearings are the best you can get. Our greaseable, self-aligning bearing and innovative two-piece design make installation and maintenance a breeze.
When it comes to materials, we’ve got a carrier bearing for every rider. Our A380 cast aluminum option is long-lasting, reliable, and stronger than stock. And for riders who want max performance, there’s our 6061 billet aluminum carrier bearing. This 100% American-made billet carrier is CNC machined, making it stronger than cast and perfect for pushing limits.
