Why Youโll Love It
- โ4โ Portal Lift adds ground clearance directly at the hubs
- โ15% or 30% Gear Reduction adds torque and relieves drivetrain stress
- โSelectable Idler Setup lets you choose dual- or single-idler gearing
- โCast or Billet Housings let you choose the construction that fits your build
- โLimited Lifetime Warranty protects your purchase
Boost your Can-Am Defender HD10 with SuperATVโs 6โ Portal Gear Lift. Youโll get 6โ of lift, more torque, and the clearance to run bigger tires. Pick a 15% or 30% gear reduction, depending on your riding style. And for maximum strength, upgrade from cast to billet aluminum housing. To really take it to the next level, upgrade to our dual idler gears.
What Is a Dual Idler?
Perfection doesnโt happen overnight. Thatโs why our dual idler gear portals are built differently. By adding a second idler gear in the portal box, the load spreads over more surface area, giving you more reliable torque transfer and a stronger gear set overall. Of course, two gears are useless if they donโt mesh perfectlyโthatโs why we use precision CNC grinding and ultra-strong 9310 steel.
Tough Enough for Any Terrain
GDP Portal Gear Lifts are made for every riding style. Dunes, mud, trails, or workโthereโs a setup that fits. Choose a 15% gear reduction for speed or a 30% for max torque and big tires. Add dual idler gears for serious strength that can handle whatever you throw at it.
Portals Protect Your Drivetrain
Instead of forcing the entire drivetrain to handle the burden of turning massive tires, GDP portals handle gear reduction at the hub. This significantly reduces wear on important parts such as your axles, differential, prop shaft, and transmission.
Built Tough with Aluminum and Steel
When things get rough, these portals keep going. The cast and billet aluminum housings are built strong, and the advanced steel alloy backing plates back them up with serious durability.
- โOur housings are reinforced for gear retention and optimized for oil flow
- โAdvanced steel alloy backing plates are stronger than chromoly
- โEnhance with Portal Bloodโgear oil formulated for GDP Portals
There are no gimmicks and no vents because vents do more harm than goodโwe know because we tested them
Advanced Gaskets, Seals, and Bearings
Our portals use:
- โAdvanced gaskets and O-rings with excellent oil resistance and low deterioration rates
- โA sealed input gear and double-lipped output seal
- โ100% sealing coverage throughout so you can forget about oil leaks
- โDouble-angular contact output bearings to prevent premature wear
- โRoller idler and drive bearings to maintain perfect gear meshing
Add a Frame Stiffener
While portals and big tires boost performance, they can increase stress on your frame. Make your suspension rock-solid by pairing your new HD10 portals with a SuperATV Frame Stiffener.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes. A 4-inch portal gear lift gives you both ground clearance and torqueโnot just height like a standard lift kit. By moving the gear reduction to the hub, portals reduce stress on axles, differentials, and the transmission while allowing you to run larger tires with confidence.
This portal gear lift is machine-specific and engineered to fit select Can-Am Defender and Defender MAX models listed in our fitment guide. Always check the fitment tab on the product page to confirm compatibility with your exact year and model.
Installing portals is more involved than a basic lift because they replace the hubs and integrate gear reduction. We include detailed step-by-step instructions, extended brake lines, and all required hardware to make installation as straightforward as possible for experienced DIY riders.
We offer 15% and 30% gear reduction options. A 15% reduction maintains higher trail speed with added torque, while 30% is ideal for heavy loads, mud riding, or turning larger tires that require more low-end power.
This 4-inch portal gear lift increases width by approximately 4 inches per side, giving your Defender a wider, more stable stance. The added width improves control when running larger tires or navigating uneven terrain.
GDP portals use precision-ground 9310 alloy steel gears and offer a dual idler configuration that spreads load across more surface area. This engineering delivers smoother operation and maximum strength under extreme torque, backed by years of real-world testing.
Yes. Wheels must be at least 14 inches in diameter and cannot exceed 4.5 inches of backspacing. Following these requirements ensures proper clearance, correct steering geometry, and long-term reliability of the portal system.
