If you travel through a lot of wet, boggy territory to get to your fishing or hunting spots, this might be the machine for you. Taking cues from the mud-riding circuit in the U.S., the Defender X mr features snorkelled intakes, arched A-arms and Can-Am’s Smart-Lok technology, which translates into exceptional traction and torque when you need it. Available in eye-catching black and yellow or Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo, it also sports a full lockable front differential, with electronically controlled automatic modes.
