Compare tie down anchors for Can-Am, Polaris, and CFMOTO UTVs. Learn which anchor design fits your bed holes and cargo needs.
Quick answer
For most UTV owners, the best tie down anchor depends on your bed hole size and cargo system. Polaris models with 1-inch lock holes work best with rubber expanding anchors. Can-Am beds with M8 or larger holes need stainless steel expandable anchors. CFMOTO owners benefit from integrated lifting eye ring anchors for versatile strap connections.
Why hole size matters more than brand
Tie down anchors are not one-size-fits-all. The mounting hole diameter on your UTV bed or cargo rack determines which anchor will grip securely. Installing an anchor that is too small for the hole will pull out under load. One that is too large will not insert at all.
Polaris RZR, Sportsman, and ACE models typically use a 1-inch lock hole. Can-Am Maverick, Defender, and Sea-Doo models use M8 or larger holes. CFMOTO Cforce, Uforce, and Zforce beds have standard mounting points that work with eye ring designs.
Material and grip differences
Rubber expanding anchors rely on compression against the hole wall. They are easy to install and remove but may wear over time if frequently swapped. Stainless steel expandable anchors with TPEE coating offer more durability and corrosion resistance, especially in wet or muddy conditions. Integrated eye ring anchors provide a fixed lifting point that does not rely on hole wall friction.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Polaris rubber anchors (2719325): Best for 1-inch lock holes. Easy twist-to-lock installation. Rubber compresses for a tight fit but may lose grip if the hole is worn or oversized. Measure your hole diameter before ordering.
- Can-Am stainless anchors (2719322): Requires M8 or larger holes. Stainless steel and TPEE coating provide excellent corrosion resistance. Works with Can-Am bed and LinQ mount systems. Check that your Can-Am model has M8+ holes; older models may vary.
- CFMOTO eye ring anchors (2719327): Integrated eye ring accepts multiple strap types. Expansion mount holds securely without relying on hole wall friction. Rotating eyebolt simplifies strap alignment. Ideal if you use different tie-down methods for different loads.
Product facts
- Tie Down Anchors for Polaris RZR / Sportsman / ACE: Made of upgraded high elastic rubber that compresses and expands by rotating the metal ring, fitting 1-inch lock holes on cargo racks or beds. This design provides strong friction grip without tools, but it only works if your UTV has exactly 1-inch holes.

The stainless steel construction resists rust, making it a better long-term choice for UTVs exposed to moisture and mud.
2 PCS Tie Down Anchors for Can-Am Maverick/Defender/Sea-Doo - UTV ATV Tie Down Anchor For CFMOTO Cforce/Uforce/Zforce: Built-in integrated lifting eye ring design supports easy connection with ropes, ratchet straps, bungee cords, and tie-down belts using an expansion mounting structure. The eye ring gives you a versatile attachment point that works with many strap types, and the eyebolt rotates freely after installation for easier alignment.
