Why this Defender MAX DPS HD9 works so well

The HD9 V-twin delivers the kind of torque you feel when the bed is loaded or the trailer is hooked up, while the PRO-TORQ CVT and selectable Turf/2WD/4WD help you stay efficient on grass, gravel, mud, and hardpack. Add in 10 inches of suspension travel front and rear, plus DPS, and you get a UTV that’s easier to drive all day—whether you’re creeping through tight work areas or covering ground with a full crew.
