SuperATV Rhino 2.0 Heavy-Duty Rear CV Axle for Can-Am Defender HD10 / MAX / XMR
Stop worrying about snapping shafts under heavy payload, oversized tires, or deep mud bogs with the SuperATV Rhino 2.0 Heavy-Duty Rear CV Axle. Purpose-built for Can-Am Defender HD10 models, this high-performance axle delivers 100% more strength (2X stronger) than stock OEM units. Featuring end-to-end 4340 chromoly steel construction, a massive 4mm increase in shaft diameter, proprietary heat treatment, and high-articulation CV joints packed with synthetic grease, it provides the flex and torsional strength needed to handle heavy farm loads and aggressive off-road punishment.
Key Features:
2X Stronger than stock: Engineered to deliver double the tensile strength of standard factory axles under extreme shock and torque loads
4mm Larger shaft size: Substantially increased center shaft diameter resists twisting, snapping, and torsional fatigue
End-to-end 4340 chromoly steel: Full chromoly construction across the shaft, CV cage, inner races, and housings for ultimate shear resistance
Proprietary heat treatment: Balances core flexibility to absorb driveline shock while providing surface hardness to combat wear
High-articulation CV joints: Maximized joint angles run cooler and reduce friction to prevent binding during full suspension articulation
Pre-packed synthetic grease: Packed with high-temp, extreme-pressure synthetic grease to lubricate and protect internal bearings
