Here's How You Can Get More Horsepower In Your New Can-Am Defender

When I tested the new Can-Am Defender HD11 last year, I wasn't really left wanting more power. Sure, everything could use a few more horses—apart from the Stark Varg, which needs fewer—but a small bump here and there wouldn't kill anyone. I wasn't expecting, though I probably should've, that Evolution Powersports would drop a basic ECU tune and clutch kit worth 25+ horsepower for the machine so soon.

If you know the name Evolution Powersports, or its more colloquial "EVP" nom de plume, you'll have likely seen how it turns Can-Ams and Polaris' into literal fire-breathing monsters. Billet internals and blocks, big-ass turbochargers and squirrel-sucking wastegates, and machines that spit flames, shred dunes, and some of which can even pop wheelies.
