EVO 2016-2022 Can-Am Defender HD10 TAPP Roller Primary Clutch Kit

Fitment:

• 2016-2022 Can-am Defender 1000 models

The new EVP TAPP Roller Primary Clutch brings even smoother engagement, faster acceleration, and improved durability to the Can-Am Defender.

The upgraded Roller Spider Design replaces the original button spider assembly, reducing friction between the spider and movable sheave for quicker power delivery, stronger belt grip, lower belt temperatures, and longer belt life. The result is a smoother, more responsive clutch that keeps your Defender performing at its best in any riding condition.

EVP has developed and tested a Defender-specific TAPP calibration that delivers noticeable bolt-on performance right away - including faster acceleration, higher RPM holding, stronger 0–40 mph pulls, increased responsiveness, and reduced clutch chatter.

Whether you are trail riding, crawling technical terrain, hauling, plowing, or cruising, the EVP TAPP Primary Clutch delivers smoother and more consistent power.
