2023 Can Am BRP Defender Pro Limited
"The vehicular market segment that industry watchers refer to as the "powersports" market is, in a way, easier to label than it is to define. What, after all, is the connective tissue that joins such disparate market segments as ATVs and side by sides, motorcycles and dirt bikes, snowmobiles and personal watercraft, especially considering that very few of these vehicles are ever used in a "sporting," i.e., competitive venue? "The sport side gets the glamour," said Glenn Hansen editor of Powersports Business, "but there's such a bigger marketplace for the whole utility and professional or 'prosumer' side, such as small time landscapers who use their vehicles for work during the week and then go hunting on the weekends." - SEMA, 2022
For consignment, a 2023 Can Am BRP Defender Pro Limited, an ATV with 14 inches of ground clearance, a cargo box capacity of 1,000 pounds, a towing capacity of 2,500 pounds and a personal capacity of three! Whether it's managing your estate property or using it at the racetrack, side by side ATVs have limitless functionality and this 226 mile example is ready to handle whatever you can throw at it.
Exterior
Rigid plastic construction over a tubular frame keeps things light and all Defender Pros came in Stone Gray over black and had a full hard roof like we see here. The bed is 72 x 54.5 x 10 inches and has a hydraulic power tilt function that makes dumping contents easy. 14-inch cast aluminum wheels in black hold XPS Trac Force all terrain tires. The cab is caged, the rear window is glass, and the windshield tilts up while electric side windows drop to create open air motoring and LED lighting is provided front and back. In back, there's a 2-inch hitch receiver for utility and in front, a 4,500-pound winch with roller fairlead. The exterior is in great condition and lacking any major imperfections.
Interior
A triple seat the company calls a bolster bench seat has reinforced vinyl covering specific to the Limited, in charcoal and orange. The driver's seat is adjustable as is the simple steering wheel which leads to a digital dash backlit with orange above a row of functional toggle switches. The shifter is a dash mounted rod and vents are a 'plenty and a JL audio system is onboard. The roof contains dome lights to help navigate the interior at night.
Drivetrain
Under the hood, we have a 976cc, fuel injected, liquid cooled V-twin powerplant rated at 82 horsepower backed by a Pro-Torq CVT transmission and selectable drivetrain that has turf mode, 2WD, 4WD and an auto locking front differential. There's hill descent assist on board as well as power steering. Disc brakes are found front and rear.
Undercarriage
A protective skid plate covers most of the real estate underneath where we find twin tube gas charged shocks front and rear. It's generally clean underneath with some evidence of usage.
Drive-Ability
Nothing is more fun than an enclosed cabin on an ATV and this one provides a comfortable perch with limitless visibility. We start it up and it responds instantly and our lap around the test loop proves to be a fun ride with plenty of pep underfoot and a size and wheelbase that instills confidence. All systems onboard function as they should and we're yearning to take this thing on some dirt trails! While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
This is a serious toy and by that we mean it's a functional, utilitarian tool, and at the same time fulfills all the boyhood dreams of freely traversing over grass, gravel, and even through the occasional brook. Maybe you need to haul boxes from one side of your dealership to the other, or move through a warehouse quickly, or collect wood for your mountain cabin, the list of potential uses is endless. But if you've read this far, you already picture yourself in it! Make the call and pick up this gently used Can Am Defender and join one of the fastest growing segments of vehicle classifications!
