Madigan Motorsports Can-Am Defender Big Brake Kit
Shipping calculated at checkout
In stock
The Can-Am Defender big brake kit problem is simple: factory brakes that fade long before the machine runs out of speed. Madigan Motorsports builds this big brake kit in-house, and it fits the Can-Am Defender using the mounting points the machine already has. It is a big brake kit meant to be fitted once and then forgotten about — not a cosmetic part that needs revisiting after the first hard weekend.

FAQ
Does this big brake kit include brake lines?
Line requirements depend on your suspension. This listing has a suspension option in the variant selector — choose the one matching your setup.
Will it fit behind my wheels?
Big brake kits require wheel clearance. Confirm your wheel offset and inner barrel clearance before ordering.
Is it a bolt-on install?
It mounts using the factory locations where Madigan states so, but brake work should be done by someone competent.
Do I need to bleed the system afterwards?
Yes. Any brake system that has been opened must be properly bled before the machine is ridden.
Does it work with a long travel kit?
This listing offers a suspension option covering the Madigan long travel kit and OEM setups — select yours in the variant selector.
Why Madigan Motorsports
Madigan Motorsports designs and manufactures its own parts rather than rebadging someone else's. That shows up in the details on this big brake kit — the mounting points line up, the hardware is there, and the finish is done properly. Every part is made in the USA.
Upgrade the Brakes on Your Can-Am Defender
Before you order, check your exact year, model and seat count against the Fitment section above, and confirm any finish option in the variant selector. If you are building the Can-Am Defender out further, the matching big brake kits and the rest of the Madigan range for this machine are worth looking at in the same order — one shipment, one install session.
