The entry-level HD8 Defender is now available less a few of the bells and whistles such as power steering and should fit well into the Can-Am stable which includes the HD10 and HD5 models.

Other changes include a significant upgrade for the Commander 1000R side-by-side vehicle, with an engine performance boost to 92hp, a wider stance and larger brakes for enhanced appeal in the recreational/utility category. The Can-Am Commander 800 side-by-side vehicle has improved value for the new model year as well.

And if you are into out-and-out performance, there’s a new 172hp Maverick X3 R Turbo side-by-side.

More information and pricing on the new Can-Ams will be available in Australia around September.
