The SuperATV 8" GDP Portal Gear Lift for the 2022+ Can-Am Defender HD 7, Defender HD 7 DPS or Defender MAX HD 7 lifts the machine 8 inches at the hubs and adds a 45%, 60% or 70% gear reduction. Choose billet aluminum or cast aluminum housings and dual or single idler gearing to match how you ride. The gear reduction in each hub relieves stress on your drivetrain, so you can run bigger tires without overworking axles and the transmission.
