EPI 16-21 Can-Am Defender HD8 27-28 in. Tires High Elev. Sport Utility Clutch Kit

This EPI Sport Utility Clutch Kit is designed for Can-Am Defender HD8 models from 2016 to 2021, specifically when running 27-inch to 28-inch tires at elevations between 3000 and 6000 feet. It’s EPI’s most versatile kit, built to handle a mix of activities like trail riding, occasional trips into mud and sand, plowing, and hauling. If you use your Defender for a little bit of everything, this kit aims to keep your drivetrain performing smoothly.

When you add larger tires, your machine can lose power and feel sluggish. This clutch kit is engineered to compensate for that power loss and the slower response that comes with them. You'll notice quicker backshifts, which translates to a more crisp and immediate throttle response. It also helps improve acceleration in the low and midrange, making your Defender feel more responsive off the line and during moderate acceleration. By reducing belt slip and clutch heat, this kit helps your drivetrain run more efficiently and can contribute to longer component life.
