High Lifter Can-Am Defender Portals, Dual Idler

What does the Dual Idler Gear Lift offer?

• High Lifter improved the portal design by adding a second idler gear in the gear box
• The dual idler gears spread the load over twice as many teeth on the gear sets, which doubles the area and reduces stress by half.
• You gain more reliable torque transfer
• Stop burning up belts and breaking so many axles; differentials; drive shafts; snorkel gears…
• Gear reduction extends brake life by needing brakes less often due to greatly improved engine braking
• Even though a lower gear ratio will get your speedometer closer to a stock reading, that is still too high a gear to offset the loss of torque caused by the larger tires. If you don’t have a need to run fast, a lower ratio performs better and give you the power you want!

Why Highlifter Portals:

Forged Gear Boxes

• Strongest boxes on the market because forging produces a tougher piece of metal
• Forging is stronger than both cast and billet aluminum
• Competitors use cast aluminum and billet aluminum boxes
• These portal boxes are extremely robust and give you more worry-free miles than any other portal
