Best fender flares for Defender Max?

Who makes the best fender flares for the Defender Max?

 

[Dragoon]

Is this a thing? I don't recall seeing any Defenders with fender flares???

For sure, here is a photo of the factory can-am fender flares.  They look beefy in the photos, but I have yet to see any in person.

Those look good from the side there. I would definitely be interested in seeing what they look like from the front and some real-world photos as well.

Me too.  I have lots of mud where we ride and haven't yet felt the wrath of the XMR tires.

I haven’t seen this mentioned in any posts yet... maybe it has been and I missed it. Sorry if this is a repeat.

There are actually 2 different sets of fender flares made for our machines with different part numbers. The “sport fender flares” are the smaller ones. The “fender flares” are the larger ones. I took a screen shot of the factory accessory catalog that shows pictures of both of them. The regular fender flares seem to be geared towards the guys that run tracks due to the extra width. The sport flares seem to be geared toward regular tire setups. I guess there could be some cases that the regular flares could come in handy if you ride in muddy conditions, etc...

hopefully this helps someone looking for new flares for their machine. I ordered the sports for mine and I love them.

THEY ROCK!!!! Sheds nearly ALL the spray from hitting the sides of the rig. Of ALL the OEM parts I've added, THESE ACTUALLY WORK and they give "Bear" a "BAD ASS" look

Here is a shot after coming home. As well as a frontal shot with the rancher bumper and flares. Oh yeah, and one of the snow pack on the bumper that shows how high the snow was the night before. (Friday)

Awesome shots, looks like a great trip!

It was a GREAT TRIP!!! Headed back in later tonight. Snowing now. Finishing up some work and headed... just 5 miles up the road.....

Hit the 1000 mile mark in only 4 months. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE MY BEAR!!!

 

[Dragoon]

That is awesome! You might have the most miles of anyone on the forum in only 4 months no less!

I have definitely put him through the test!! I'm really looking to put some 30"ers on him, a clutch kit, and putting the stock poly skid plates UNDER (to the ground side) the aluminum skids I put on. Giving up some weight for the GLIDE..... of the poly vs. the STICKY ALUMINUM. OH..... I almost forgot. A real winch for the back!!!! The game hauler winch AIN'T DESIGNED for what we made her do..... DAMN I LOVE MY "BEAR"!!!! Cant wait for turkey season..... A heater..... the bed for decoys..... GET ME SOME!!!! Taking my partner in crimes 13yr old daughter for her first hunts next year... we'll start with turkey. Haven't seen me a Disney film about turkeys yet so I'm hoping we're good!!! Here she is driving Bear... Story was she drove gokarts, just last weekend in fact.... Truth be told..... she drove the gokarts last Saturday FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!! Not so sure if you smell what I'm steppin' in..... but Bear (a FRESH 1000) compared to a 5 maybe 7.5 hp OMG!!!!! THANK GOD WE ARE STILL ALIVE!!! After a few miles she got it under control and drove quite a bit further than I thought she would.... Cuz when I took over? It was a workout.... SUPER PROUD OF HER!!

Super ATV also makes a different style for the defender.  It is flatter than Can Am's and pretty wide.  I believe that theirs would work better with large tires like 32", but they also cost around $400

I just ordered the sport fender flares.  Hopefully no more mud in my lap.  They have them on Partzilla for $173 with free shipping.

Any pics of the sport fender flares yet?
