Elevate Your Defender HD9 with GDP Portals
Want your Can-Am Defender HD9 to handle bigger obstacles and bigger tires? The SuperATV 6” Portal Gear Lift has you covered. With 4 inches of lift and built-in gear reduction, you get extra torque and ground clearance without stressing your machine out. Choose a 15% or 30% gear reduction based on how you ride, and if you want something super tough, go for the billet aluminum housing upgrade. If you’re looking to really take it to the top, go with a set of our dual idlers.
What Is a Dual Idler?
Our dual idler gear portals take performance seriously. With a second idler gear in the portal box, the load spreads out, which means more reliable torque and the strongest gear set you can get. But it only works if the gears mesh perfectly. That’s why every gear is precision CNC ground from tough 9310 steel.
Built for Any Terrain
GDP Portal Gear Lifts aren’t one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re playing in the sand, slinging mud, cruising trails, or knocking out chores, there’s an option for you. Go with a 15% gear reduction if you want to keep things fast, or choose a 30% for serious torque and oversized tires. Dual idler gears add the extra strength you need to ride harder with confidence.
Keeps Your Drivetrain Safe
With a gear reduction built into the wheel hub, GDP portals minimize the stress that normally travels through the drivetrain. This added protection helps extend the life of key parts like the axles, differential, prop shaft, and transmission when running larger tires.
Built Tough with Aluminum and Steel
We didn’t cut corners when building these portals. Strong cast and billet aluminum housings paired with advanced steel alloy backing plates make them incredibly tough and hard to beat.
