Can-Am’s Defender line of side-by-side UTVs are great for mudding and getting to and from your treestand - but for many owners, they are utilitarian vehicles that can be specially equipped at certain times of year to fulfill seasonal obligations.

For instance, they can be outfitted with winter gear to render them better equipped to clear snow, free stuck vehicles, and more.

And, since many areas of the country have already reported the first snows of the season, if you want to convert your Defender to winter service, it’s high time to outfit it with these Can-Am Defender parts and accessories from our collection.

This is probably the single most important kit on our website if your goal is outfitting your UTV for snow removal.

It’s not just compatible with Can-Am Defenders, either; the KFI Complete Plow/Winch Combo (pictured above) is also compatible with select Kawasaki, Yamaha, Honda, Polaris, and John Deere vehicles, among others. See the previous link for more details.

This kit, which is among the best-selling Can-Am Defender parts and accessories on our website, comes with mounts, and a plow blade. and winch, and is configurable with a KFI wireless remote and plow actuators, straps, levers, markers, and side shields; choose prior to checkout.

This heavy-duty, easy-to-install plow blade is perfect for clearing driveways and other large open areas after heavy snowfall. It is configurable with either a straight or poly blade.

The straight blade (either 66” or 72”) is 16” tall and features fully-adjustable skids and bolt-on brackets, with grade-50 steel skid shoes. It also features extremely heavy-duty steel ribbing for a durable attachment to the swivel tube.

The optional Poly Series blade features a heavy-duty black poly face with dual curvature for effective and efficient snow removal. It also features fully-adjustable skid shoes and bolt-on brackets and comes with a wear bar for extra long life. The poly plow blade is also 100% made in the United States.

This kit also includes a winch kit - you choose either a 2500lb, 3500lb, or 4500lb KFI winch kit or a Viper winch kit.

SuperATV 30” Combination Spot/Flood Light Bar

It’s not easy to clear snow and free stuck vehicles if you can’t see what you’re doing, and the winter months are the darkest of the year. This SuperATV 30” Combination Spot/Flood Light Bar will give you vastly improved visibility, even in adverse conditions.

It’s available in both straight and curved configurations and rated to 14,400 lumens, with a 50,000-hour lifespan. It’s easy to install and featured padded aluminum brackets (cage, low-profile and hood roof brackets are also available). It also comes with a rocker switch and wire harness to facilitate wiring and installation.

It’s also as tough as the winter weather requires, with a working temperature range between -40℉ and 140℉ (it won’t let you down in the summer, either) and an IP68 rating. It’s sealed against dust and rated to remain operable under the worst of wet conditions (it can remain submerged in up to 5 feet of water for up to 30 minutes) and it also features a shatter-resistant, nearly indestructible polycarbonate lens.

It’s tough and reliable, even in the worst conditions, and can be used for both focused (spot) and wide area (flood) illumination.

Rival Can-Am Defender Rear Bumper

A Rival Can-Am Defender Rear Bumper will protect your Defender’s body against damage arising from incidental contact, but it’s worth so much more than that. They’re also perfect attachment points, in a pinch, when you need to pull something out of the snow or mud - which makes them great in the winter.

These rear bumpers are also built tough - they’re made from heavy-duty 1.5” steel tubing and CNC machine-bent to ensure the best possible quality fit as well as easy installation. They’re easy to install and come with all of the necessary mounting hardware and fitting instructions, and they’re built to last, too, with a corrosion-bucking powder coat that will laugh in the face of the elements.

This, in keeping with the general tenor of this collection of Can-Am Defender parts and accessories, makes them perfect for winter. With a plow and winch up front, a bumper in the back, and a light bar mounted where you need it, you’ll be ready for the snowiest, darkest months of the year.
