Here's a great video overview of the 2020 Defender upgrades:

For 2020, the Defender line gets elevated capabilities, redesigned comfort levels for the occupants, advanced the internal and external protection and refined styling. To ensure the new Defender HD10 is more comfortable than ever, the vehicle now has the industry’s quietest 1000c V-twin engine. A thicker firewall acts as an improved sound and heat barrier between the occupant and engine components. A new low-sound exhaust system has a unique smooth low intensity with its own distinct sound. Recalibration in the CVT reduced shift line by 500 RPM resulting in quieter operation under heavy acceleration. For smoother operation to equal the reduce sound output, the driving mode reduces power. Speaking of power, the more powerful 82hp Defender Rotax HD10 engine also received a new cylinder head to increase airflow. It offers an industry-leading 69 lb-ft of torque or massive low-end towing strength. Raising the bar on vehicle protection, Can-Am added a rugged front steel bumper and upper bumper plate. The heavy-duty XT bumper was strengthened to ensure durability in extreme use while looking bold. The revised Dual Phase steel frame was reinforced and lightened (-5-lbs.), offering up to 30% more rigidity. Another critical feature on the 2020 Defender SSVs is their enhanced ride quality. This was achieved with a new suspension calibration and also new front and rear 64-in. arched A-arms that providing extra clearance for obstacle crossings. A new brake holding mechanism improves operation on hills. The enhanced styling, complete with a new fascia, redesigned grill and hood, gives the Defender a signature Can-Am look. Inside the cockpit, certain Defender vehicles feature either a new 4.5-in. digital display or 7.6-in. display with keypad (X mr, XT-P and Lone Star) for a more polished look and easier reading.

Welcome aboard! I'm have had my Defender almost a year now with have zero regrets. It's been a true work horse and lots of fun!

Welcome to the forum @Comeaux83 - Congrats on the new ride!

Welcome to the forum @Kyleinmn! - Congrats on the new ride! I have a rear view mirror that works going enough I haven't worried about installing the side mirrors. I have a buddy with the can-am oem side mirrors and they are nice.

RockRun is an awesome park! I was up there 4-5 years ago riding and had a blast.

Welcome to the forum @zk-315!

That's not good, especially at the 200 mile mark. Be sure to keep us posted on the fix.

Cedar Park, about 30 minutes away from Hidden Falls. I wonder if all of this rain we've had lately washed out any of the trails?

Tree thinning and clearing continues along with a nice day to burn!

After having my Defender a few months, I can honestly say the Polaris Ranger does drive smoother, but other then that the Defender has been one awesome machine. It's been a huge help around the property and great for cruising the neighborhood with the family.

Welcome aboard, awesome ride!

That looks great Jerry, nice work!!

I need to get a little trailer like you have for the branches. That's a good setup you have there! What length is it?

Have you seen the rear bumper made by Tough Country? It looks sweet. It doesn't appear to interfere with the bed. https://ktperformance.net/i-23914688-tough-country-utv-rear-bumper-canam-2016-18-defender-defender-max.html?CATARGETID=120173980000089278&cadevice=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxOKnh4G14QIVwZJbCh1GbAVAEAQYBSABEgIflvD_BwE

Welcome to the forum Jerry! Good looking Cobra you got there. Congrats on the new ride!

There was a tree trimming company in our neighborhood today trimming trees around the power lines. I was able to score some free mulch so got to use both toys today to spread it around... And this is where the mulch is going. I'm also building a small border with natural stone found around the property.

Awesome, glad to hear it's performing well for ya!

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new machine. Don't hesitate to ask any questions, we got a great community here with a lot of helpful people!

Cool, let me think about it. I've got so used to not having them, they might just get in the way at this point 🙂

I haven't seen any kits for sale. WildBoar ATV makes one for the Commander, maybe they have something in the works for the Defender? https://www.wildboaratvparts.com/cart/CAN-AM-COMMANDER-RADIATOR-RELOCATION-KIT

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the new XMR!

Hey Rudy, How much would you be looking to get out of them?

I have the Can-am "Hardcoated" windshield and I've been happy with it. https://can-am.brp.com/off-road/shop/accessories-ssv/windshields_wind_pro/windshields/full-windshield---hardcoated-for-defender-defender-max.html
