What you get

The Defender MAX runs either a 650cc HD7 or 976cc HD9 engine with selectable 2WD, 4WD, and Turf Mode for any job site. Dual 220mm disc brakes front and rear with hydraulic twin-piston calipers deliver consistent stopping power under load. Ten inches of suspension travel on both ends handles rough terrain without breaking the payload. An integrated front steel bumper and full HMW plastic skid plate protect the chassis. Moon Motorsports stocks the Defender MAX in Monticello.
