Can-Am recently invited me and Gary out to test ride their all new Defender SxS. The event was held at Harpole's Heartland Lodge in Nebo, Illinois. I published an article on RnR offering up my initial impressions of the Defender being used as a recreational vehicle on the trails. I will throw up another article later in the week to offer up my impressions of it's capability as a daily work horse. We had a great time testing it out and really like what Can-Am has done with the vehicle. If you want to check out the article it can be viewed here... http://rocksandruts.com/home/can-am-...w-defender-sxs
Here are a few pics from our testing...

LOL, When I originally saw it in the press release I thought the same, but after seeing it in person from every angle my opinion changed. Seems most people hate the short front end, or think it just looks strange cause the cabin looks huge in relation to the front end. But the cabin has a ton of room and visibility is awesome because of that stubby front end. Cut off the cargo net restraints and add a set of full doors and it would look much better.

Great write up Butch, as always. Thanks for sharing your experience from behind the wheel. Personal, I think it has a bit of a knurly look up front. Sounds like Can Am has some more models coming out from conversation over on R&R. Thanks for posting up. Always good to see what the main players have coming out.
