By far one of the best reviews I’ve seen so far! I’ve been a faithful CanAm guy ever since my first 1979 CanAm 400 dirt bike. I recently purchased the new 22 Defender Max Limited. The 10 hr break in period is seems a bit much but I’ll deal with it. Thanks for all the valuable information! Cheers

Kudos for the production quality, camera angles, and editing.

in the market, and this really sold the can am model. Thanks for your complete input. continue to enjoy yours, and I am looking forward to getting one myself!

Enjoy your videos. Love my 2021 Defender XT. Almost 4000kms and not a year old yet until mid November. Only problems was a new ignition switch and new shocks both under warranty. I do run 30"" tires. Two other pros for the Defender is there is very little cab noise compared to other models and no cab heat in the summer. You helped my decision in deciding to purchase the Defender. A friend just ordered a Defender and expected delivery is May or June next year. Personally I do not require a cab heater. I'm in New Brunswick and use the machine all winter.

Thorough and helpful review. Thanks!

Nice review. I have a 2017 Defender that I love. It does everything I need it to do. It’s a beast!

Thanks for all the great info. I just ordered a 2024 Defender limited in desert tan. I’m enjoying watching all your videos.

great review as always thanks for the video

Tks for this very professionnal and objective review. Excellent video quality and comments.

Thanks for all of the information on your can am...

Greetings from the SW WA coast. Very nice machine and review. You've got a great, practical and versatile machine there. I can't think of a thing I'd do differently. I love that Rotex motor. Best motor out there in my opinion. I owned a 2005 BMW F650GS-D dual-sport motorcycle powered by the 650 Rotex single and I can't say enough good about it. Whether freeway cruising at a comfortable 75mph to packed up and loaded exploring the Pacific NW both on and off road, although nothing too aggressive. Loved that bike. My youngest son (grown and gone) is now the proud owner and he puts it through its paces regularly. Unfortunately it was the last generation of the big singles by BMW. Thanks for the great clips. Keep them coming.

Good review very informative. I've often thought a small lightweight camper on 1 of these side by sides would work well being off the ground. As wide as it is you and your furry companions would have room. Also you and your wife could have some neat trips also. I think you have made a wise choice for your style of outdoor activities. Glad your enjoying and are satisfied with your purchase. Thanks for the video.

Hello Michael esme and Simon. How’s everyone doing? Thankyou for a awesome review. Y’all all take care and be safe. Please give esme and Simon a treat. I just love it when you put the bubbles over esme or Simon head and there saying something.

Great review! My defender xmr locks up both diffs at the same time. Only downside is no cab with that model. Keep up the great videos!

Excellent review, thanks.

Lol I’m cracking up at the Esme bubble...that’s not what you told your wife! Laughing so hard. I love this machine. It looks so perfect or hauling gear and keeping you safe and warm. I would love this for around here. Nice review Michael.

Great review and local to my area, climate, terrain, etc. When you sell next year I may be interested. Lol.

That (my friend) has been a fine machine for you over the passed two years. "The kids" have sure enjoyed being able to tag along, especially nice for the "old man" (Simon). We used the ones made by Kubota (diesel) when I worked up north in Alaska. The biggest issue with had with them was blower motors wearing out, but these were on 24/7 for the most part, and enduring the most severe/harsh winter conditions up in the oil fields.

One of the best reviews I’ve seen I am interested in buying a Can-Am you made the difference

Good review Mike 👍😊

Hi Michael ! Thanks for the honest review. Although I like to tease you with the argo ..haha.. I really think that this type of machine is the best option for what you do. I understand your concern about the pros and cons of a longer wheelbase machine...good in a certain situation and bad in another. But I really like the idea of a closed cabine over that 6 foot cargo box...so many possibilites especially with a diesel heater !! That model would be my pick. Anyway , no matter what you buy, emporium outdoors will always be my favorite youtube channel!! Take care mon ami!!

Great review which encouraged me to purchase a Traxter PRO XU HD10T, which has been arrived a couple of days ago. I'm looking forward to use it for different kind of jobs! Regards from (far away) Germany!

I have the same model but less miles and it’s certainly an upgrade from our 2004 Arctic Cat TRV that we crossed Newfoundland on 2x on the old rail bed from Port aux Basques to Arnold’s Cove staying in a tent the first trip and cabins the 2nd time!

Only problem with my 2018 hd10 is a brake fluid leak from the line/ Master cylinder interior side. love the glass flip up windshield it's worth the money. Yes the accessories are pricey .

I pull a post pounder with my defender pro and it is a really well built machine

Love your review. Can you comment on the comfort of the seats for riding. Especially for trail riding. I have a bad back from accident and would be interested in the comfort aspect. Thanks again.

The removable glove box works well for me. I keep my hand gun in there. It's out of sigh. I just grab my glove box when I go in the house.

IM first on a long list of people wanting a 2022 defender 6x6 ....Cant wait ....

I like the idea of those, so many cool things you can do with them. The price is pretty steep though

I love mine I’ve got the 2021 model there almost the same the upgraded seats would make a difference

Thanks Michael great review

I've been wanting one of the canam defender 1000cc H10 6x6 model fully loaded with camo paint

Your can am is great 👍 for hauling your gear, dogs 🐕 for overnight camping. 😀. I do day off road runs in 570 kawasaki. To hunting and fishing spots . Good Trials for yous. Arth

Hi there, just a quick question about your mirrors...do they fold back against the cab when you are in thick bush? I noticed they mount onto the door, any installation issues or tricks to install. Thanks for all your awesome videos.

We’ve come a long way since our P5 days! Loving my hd7 max defender great review! You still have the Jeep Wrangler as well?

Hi Michael, you have a beautiful machine that suits your riding needs. I looked at them and liked them but they are too big for where I live. I live in the western part of New York where we have lots of hills covered with hardwoods. I found my pioneer 500 well suited for these narrow trails. I owned the Pioneer 500 for 5 years and had zero breakdowns or any problems at all. I like Honda reliability so I gave the P500 to my son and bought a new Pioneer 520. It's not a speed machine but it is a mountain goat. It makes a great hunting machine. You have great videos and I have enjoyed all of the machines you have owned.

Yes no doubt nice machine

Great review.. I have the Defender limited max (4 doors). I really don’t find it to be a problem going anywhere in the bush… I live in Ontario and there is a lot of bush..😊 Having said that…I would not be afraid of getting the Pro with the 6 foot box and building a camper in the box as you suggested.. I’ve had mine for a little over a year and 4700 KM and loving every minute of it… I also bought the tracks and I do agree with you…it’s a must..for it to be a year round machine.. Have fun..

Just got the same sxs. Have you ever tried the Honda pioneer 1000 limited?

Michael, should use some of that KZfaq money and get your cab detailed. Won't last with Esme and Simon but always nice to get into a nice clean dust free machine

Hope you read this…I am a garage door technician and it looks like you have a overhead door “thermacore” garage door…your electric opener is attached to the door top section poorly, there should be a reinforcing plate…the bracket that attaches to the garage door from the electric motor opener may pull out or even damage top section…

I am 6 foot tall with a 3.0 inch inseam. My biggest issue is always leg room, especially on longer rides. How do you find the leg room?

Hi Michael, you went from the Argo to the Can-Am; My question is why?

How loud is the engine noise in the cab?

Everything is expensivd now.. Some ebikes are in the $18k cdn range

What synthetic cable did you go with?

I would love to get one but they’re too hard to get. no chips

Did your Fuel pump ever fail? Mine failed after 3 years and 250 miles

any one know where they are made?

Shame they don’t sell in the UK

Is can-am still a company?

Hello, Are you interested in testing products? We would like to invite you to test the rear windshield for your 2019 Can Am Defender XT hd10
