Stop Busting Belts on Your Can-Am Defender HD11
S3 Power Sports Oct 16th 2025
The new 2026 Can-Am Defender HD11 is a powerhouse right out of the gate, but even the best rigs have weak points. The new 999cc inline-3 HD11 engine delivers 95 HP and 70 lb-ft of torque. Paired with a smooth-shifting transmission, pDrive, and Quick-4Lok or Smart-Lok front diff, it is built for control and drivability. But with that extra power comes more belt load, more heat, and more opportunity for slippage. If you have ever cooked a belt mid-ride or watched your RPMs climb while the wheels barely move, you know exactly where the problem starts. That is where Titan Drive Belts from S3 Power Sports come in. Built for torque, heat, and hard use, these belts are engineered to keep your Defender moving long after the stock one gives up.
Where Stock Belts Tap Out
The Defender HD11's 95 HP powertrain puts out serious torque, but that power turns into belt heat fast, especially when towing, crawling, or riding loaded. Factory belts are tuned for comfort and cost, not punishment. When they get hot, they slip, glaze, and start shedding layers until you are stranded with a shredded mess and a long ride home in low gear. Titan fixes that with upgraded materials and smarter construction designed for real-world abuse.
The Titan Solution
Titan Drive Belts use a high-temp aramid-reinforced compound that resists glazing, stretch, and delamination. Engagement stays smooth off idle, even when things get hot, and clutch bite stays consistent through every pull. No clutch mods, no tuning, just a direct-fit belt that outlasts stock and keeps you rolling longer between replacements.
Real-World Performance
These belts are not theory. S3 Power Sports tested Titan Belts in race cars, trail rigs, and work Defenders doing real jobs, hauling, towing, slogging through mud, and running wide open for miles. The result? Less heat buildup, smoother engagement, and no more early failures. When your Defender is working hard, Titan keeps power going where it belongs: to the ground.
Built Specifically for the HD11
The Titan Drive Belt for the Can-Am Defender HD11 is cut and compound-matched to the HD11's clutch system and drive-by-wire tuning. That means cleaner shifts, smoother throttle control, and stronger pull under load. It is a belt tuned for this exact machine, not a generic fitment, so it performs like a factory upgrade, not a compromise.
More Fitments, Same Titan Strength
Titan Drive Belts are available across multiple Can-Am platforms, including Defender HD10, Maverick X3, and Outlander. Every fitment is precision matched for that machine's clutch geometry, so you get consistent grip and long-term durability. Whether you are hauling on the ranch or hammering through the woods, there is a Titan Drive Belt ready for your setup.
