Can-Am Defender HD8 6" 30% Billet Single Idler Portal Gear Lift

Product Details

Create the Ultimate Defender HD8 with GDP Portals
Your Can-Am Defender HD8 isnt a powerhouse until it has SuperATVs 6 Portal Gear Lift installed. Youll get 6 of lift and a gear reduction in one package. This means more torque and bigger tires without stressing out your Defender. Choose between 30%; 45%; or 60% gear reduction to match your riding style; and for maximum durability; upgrade from our cast housing to our billet aluminum housing. Are you looking for even more power? Our dual idler portals are the perfect option for you.

What is a Dual Idler?
Perfection takes time. After years of research and development; weve made our dual idler gear portals unlike any other. By placing a second idler gear in the portal box; the load gets spread over twice as much surface area for more reliable torque transfer and the strongest gear set you can get. Two idler gears dont do a thing if theyre not mated perfectly; though. Precision CNC grinding ensures ours do. Our gears are made from the industrys toughest 9310 steel alloy.

Get the Power to Conquer any Terrain
A gear reduction changes how your ride performs on different terrain. Choose 30% for faster speeds with plenty of torque. If you have larger tires and tackle tough trails; go with 45% to get extra power and control. Construct the ultimate mudder with a 60% gear drop; and maximize its torque by adding dual idler gears.

Protect Your Drivetrain
GDP Portals relocate the gear reduction to the wheel hubs instead of the transmission. This reduces stress on your Defender HD8s drivetrain; letting your axles; driveshaft; differential; and transmission work less; which lowers wear and helps prevent costly repairs.

Unmatched Strength
Durability matters. Thats why our GDP Portals come with your choice of cast or billet aluminum housing and heavy-duty 5/16 backing plates made from advanced steel alloy. Theyre built to handle abuse and backed by a lifetime warranty.
  • Our housings are reinforced for gear retention and optimized for oil flow
  • Advanced steel alloy backing plates are stronger than chromoly
  • Enhance with Portal Blood—gear oil formulated for GDP Portals
  • There are no gimmicks and no vents because vents do more harm than good—we know because we tested them

Advanced Gaskets; Seals; and Bearings
Our portals use:
  • Advanced gaskets and O-rings with excellent oil resistance and low deterioration rates
  • A sealed input gear and double-lipped output seal
  • 100% sealing coverage throughout so you can forget about oil leaks
  • Double-angular contact output bearings to prevent premature wear
  • Roller idler and drive bearings to maintain perfect gear meshing

Don't Forget a Frame Stiffener
Monster tires and portals bring the fun—but they also stress your machines frame. Reinforce your suspension with a SuperATV Frame Stiffener for unbeatable durability.
