    From what I can see there are some new colors and some models get a nice new gauge. Yawn.....

    Wonder what else there is besides the new cluster and smoked light lens? I suspect there's more but Lamont wanted to just give out a teaser!

    Not to brag, well not much anyway, but if you recall I said in another thread a few months ago I thought there was something coming in relation to the cluster based on some of the questions and discussion I had with the Spyder project manager at Homecoming! But it doesn't look like it's an anti-glare screen which is really needed, IMO.

    They put 3 videos up on Facebook. That new cluster and BRP Connect looks pretty sweet... new 6 speaker audio... no idea where the 2 additional ones are... no turbo.

    You must be tired, this is AWESOME, A more user friendly intuitive gauge. This could have tipped it for me if they shared this on the Anniversary edition unveiling, couldn't live with myself, knowing I passed up the good deal they offeredhttp://www.lamonstergarage.com/news/...nd-highlights/

    I don't do Facebook. I sent them an email to that effect. Not everyone is addicted to the internet.

    If they were able to send me a head's up email (which they did), they could also send out an email announcement in parallel.

    But it seems I didn't miss anything.

    Here's what's new from what I see looking at the BRP web page.

    The RTS is no more.

    The new cluster w/ BT, new radio and integrated GPS.

    Lamont's FB posting shows a new joystick control instead of the 4 way button on the left handlebar control.

    Base RT is white only with black trim. RTL comes in white, metallic grey, oxford blue, and champagne, each in either chrome or black trim.

    Accessories catalog hasn't been updated yet so can't tell if things like CB are still available.

    We were going to order an RT-S on Saturday.....think we will have to wait now and order a 2018! Seems silly with the big improvements to the audio, etc, not to wait!
    Unless they give us a stupid deal on a 2017 that is.....

    I like the new dashboard and the color tweeks. It appears no new models or radical styling changes. Not enough for number six for me.

    It appears that model introduction on the "entry level" one is for Sept. 2018. Am guessing that will be a 2019 model.

    Default Hmmm

    I think BRP is making nice videos, they did really improve over past few years on this.

    But new LCD and joystick.. is that it??? I was not really expecting Turbo, coz the majority of Can-Am rYders are just chillin riders - no offence, and just few maniacs like myself - will not make sense to that investment. But i really believed that there will be new RT model, that will go more in style of F3 and they will make those tail lights more up to date...
    at least the videos are nice...

    Well as a newer Spyder owner, and somewhat new to this Forum.....I'm seeing a LOT more than "just a new gauge"

    Integrated Bluetooth receive/transmit, integrated GPS and other connectivity functions, upgraded sound system...etc...etc. These are a lot of the very things people on this Forum have been asking for. I personally think it's pretty cool.

    I'm guessing about the six-speaker setup, but I think that they put the F3-L's speakers into the RT.

    Bob, can't wait to see your 10th anniversary edition with the new gage cluster. BRP done a good job with that!

    Default $?

    In this link http://www.lamonstergarage.com/news/...nd-highlights/ it says that you will need to take your Spyder into the dealer and have the them "flash the cluster" for new app's and features. Will this also be required for the map updates for the GPS? If so how much is the dealer going to sock you for the "flash"? I get free updates for life on my Garmin every time I plug it into my computer!
