Description
The M12 started a revolution. Fueled by a passion for true offroad styling, we engineered this timeless design to truly accent ANY make or model ATV or UTV on the market. Eight symmetrical spokes are highlighted by simple machining accents that elongate the spokes to the edge of the rim. No other wheel style in our industry is more recognized and adored than the M12 Diesel. Attempts have been made to duplicate this style, but M12 Diesel is a MSA Wheels classic and nothing compares to the original. Gloss black paint and just the right amount of micro-machined highlights, own what most consider the best looking ATV wheel ever made.

Can-Am Defender HD5 Side-by-Side (2017-2021)
The Can-Am Defender HD5, available from 2017 to 2021, is a robust utility side-by-side designed for work and recreation. Throughout these model years, it consistently featured a reliable Rotax 427cc single-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine, delivering 38 horsepower. This powertrain utilized Intelligent Throttle Control (iTC) with Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for efficient performance. During its production run from 2017 to 2021, the Defender HD5 maintained stable specifications with no significant mid-cycle generation changes or engine overhauls. Key trims included the standard Base Model and the DPS (Dynamic Power Steering) variant, which offered enhanced maneuverability and often additional storage. Some models also featured an optional Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo finish. FAQ:
