SuperATV Rhino 2.0 Axles for Can-Am Defender HD11
Stock axles on the Can-Am Defender HD11 are engineered for average conditions — not the loads, terrain, and torque demands serious riders and workers put them through. SuperATV's Rhino 2.0 Axles are purpose-built to handle everything the HD11 can dish out, with upgraded materials and oversized geometry that outlast OEM and standard aftermarket options.
What Makes Rhino 2.0 Different
Rhino 2.0 Axles are built from hardened 4340 chromoly steel alloy with a larger shaft diameter and oversized CV joints. Every axle goes through a proprietary heat treatment process to maximize tensile strength and fatigue resistance. The result is an axle that handles higher torque, sharper angles, and harder impacts without binding, overheating, or failing.
Key Construction Features
- 4340 chromoly steel shaft — end-to-end
- Increased shaft diameter over OEM
- Oversized CV joints for extreme articulation
- Proprietary heat treatment for maximum strength
- Direct OEM-fit replacement — no modifications required
