A Can-Am Defender HD10 that gets used for real recoveries needs a front end that can carry a big winch and take hits. The Heavy Weight Winch-Ready Front Bumper is built from 1/8" steel plate, shaped to follow the Defender's nose, and accepts winches from 4,500 up to 12,000 lb, so you can pull out stuck friends, loaded trailers or your own machine with confidence.
Highlights
- 1/8" thick steel plate, powder coated against rust and fading
- Fits most 4,500-12,000 lb aftermarket winches
- Pre-fit for Black Ops winches
- Winch bolt patterns: 3.0" x 6.6" (76 x 168 mm) and 4.5" x 6.6" (114 x 168 mm)
- Tabs for D-ring shackles
- Mounting points for 3" LED recessed cube lights
- Compact profile helps preserve approach clearance
- Vehicle-specific, secure fit
Built for Big Winches
Most UTV bumpers stop at 4,500 lb. This one is designed for the heavier winches that a full-size work machine like the Defender can actually use. Mud pits, rock jams and stuck trucks are all fair game.
Build Your Setup
The option pickers let you add cube lights, a 4,500, 6,000 or 12,000 lb winch, and a 12" double-row LED light bar. Each add-on raises the price; the bumper alone is the base price. The light bar is not included unless you select it.
What's in the Box
- Heavy Weight winch-ready front bumper
- Selected winch, cube lights and light bar (if chosen)
- Mounting hardware and instructions
Who It's For and What Pairs Well
For Defender, Defender MAX, Pro and 6x6 HD10 owners who want serious winching power and plate-steel protection. Add recovery straps from Can-Am Defender recovery gear and winches, a matching rear bumper from Defender bumpers and a skid plate from Defender skid plates.
