2026 Can-Am Defender DPS HD7 The Hardest Working Value Professional Grade Made Accessible The 2026 Can-Am Defender DPS HD7 is designed for the owner who needs a serious workhorse without the premium price tag of a high-horsepower trail machine. At Souhegan Valley Motorsports, we recommend the HD7 as the perfect choice for New Hampshire farmers, landscapers, and large property owners. It features the same heavy-duty chassis and industrial-strength components as its bigger brothers but is powered by a more fuel-efficient, quieter single-cylinder engine that is purpose-built for low-end torque and high-hour reliability.
