How are you liking the defender - I’m torn between commander & defender, the HD9 Cab model defender just seems to be such a good deal to pass up. Just concerned about the trail riding
I enjoy my Defender very much for trail rides but my riding style is more take your time and explore versus blasting down a trail at maximum speed or mudding. I also take frequent breaks while out exploring the trails which I don't show in my videos very often. The "redesigned" Commander had not been introduced and was not an option when I was buying the Defender and based on their style now with the engine in the back I would have seriously considered a Commander for prolonged days on the trail. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoy my Defender, it does everything I need and want it do for my personal use and it handles any trail I have been on or want to go on.
@@CanadianCanAm yah I agree - I don’t need to be the fastest I’m usually the last in the group which is the pace I like to keep lol I think for what I use it for which is trail riding Southern NB & runs to the camp either are fine - I think if I was to go no enclosure it would be the commander 700xt , and if I want full enclosure the HD9 Cab is a great price point. You just don’t see a lot of defenders riding the trails you are and I appreciate the footage !
Just subscribed! Can’t wait to hit the trails in my defender this spring. Great machines!
Enjoy and have fun!
