Can-Am Defender MAX HD11 Full Skid Plate, 1/2" ARMW (UHMW Blend), Patented Interlocking Panels, Flush Bolts, Drain Ports, Front-to-Back Coverage

The Defender MAX HD11's long wheelbase is great for comfort and hauling, but it puts more belly over rocks, logs and stumps. This full skid plate covers the underside from front to back with thick, slick plastic panels so the machine slides over obstacles instead of hanging up and damaging parts underneath.

Highlights

• 1/2" thick ARMW, a proprietary UHMW blend
• Patented interlocking panel design (Pat. No. 10,202,149)
• Resists abrasion, bending and breaking
• Flush bolts for a smooth, snag-free surface
• Full front-to-back coverage
• Drain ports for easy cleanup
• Bolts directly to the frame

Why UHMW Beats Steel and Aluminum Here

UHMW-type plastics are slippery, so the machine slides over rocks instead of grabbing them. They don't dent like aluminum, they're quieter than steel when you hit something, and they won't rust.

Interlocking and Flush

The panels lock together to form one smooth surface, and the bolts sit flush, so there are no edges to catch when you drag over a ledge.

Easy Upkeep

Drain ports let water and mud wash out, and the panels can come off for service.

Who It's For and What Pairs Well

For MAX HD11 owners who ride rocky trails or work in timber and stumps. Pair it with Defender side rocker guards and steps and a frame stiffener from Defender frame and chassis.

FAQ

Will it make the machine louder? No. Plastic panels are quieter on impact than steel or aluminum.
