Why this Defender DPS HD9 works for you
That 976 cc Rotax V-twin delivers the kind of usable torque you feel when the bed is loaded or the trailer is hooked up, while the PRO-TORQ CVT and Work/ECO modes help keep power smooth and efficient. The selectable Turf/2WD/4WD system with Visco-Lok† gives you confidence on wet grass, loose gravel, and muddy access roads, and DPS makes tight maneuvering and long days behind the wheel noticeably easier. Add 10 inches of suspension travel, 11 inches of ground clearance, and a 1,000 lb cargo box rating, and you’ve got a UTV that’s ready to earn its keep.
