DESCRIPTION:
The Rhino 2.0 Formula
We engineered Rhino 2.0 Axles for the Defender HD11 to outperform anything else on the trail. They’re built from a hardened chromoly steel alloy and feature a larger shaft and oversized CV joints to maximize durability. The result is an axle that handles higher torque, bigger impacts, and extreme angles without binding, overheating, or giving up. That’s the Rhino 2.0 formula at work:
- A massive increase in shaft diameter
- End-to-end chromoly steel construction
- Proprietary heat treatment for maximum strength
Lab-Tested, Trail-Proven
Our Defender HD11 Rhino 2.0 Axles are lab-tested for extreme articulation, heat buildup, and overall strength. But numbers alone don’t prove reliability—that’s why we test them in the real world. From brutal test tracks to demanding trails, these axles are punished so you don’t have to worry when it matters most.
Industry-Leading 18-Month Warranty
Most aftermarket axles come with a 12-month warranty—we go further with our 18-month warranty. Work it hard and ride it harder. If you somehow manage to break a Rhino 2.0 Axle, we’ll take care of you so you can get back to what you were doing without missing a beat.
