Lamonster Garage, SpyderLovers and BRP in 2015......

[Pirate looks at --]

Hopefully a 2015 RT-S that my wife will let me buy. (did I win?).


Cruzr Joe

she let you buy the 2014, don't be greedy!

[Chupaca]

you have worked hard for them and deserve this..wish I could be there but not happening. As for the 2015 I see perhaps an entry level version. They have put in alot and put up with a lot the last two years and don't see them jumping into massive changes to all the remaining models. But logic never works... Have a blast will read about it...

[ARCTIC]

An RS-X model that is an on/off road spyder.

[Dan McNally]

They will be introducing a two-wheeler. It will be the ET model. Here is a photo taken of the prototype while being tested

she let me buy the 12 and the 13 and the 14, but she said she don't even want to hear the number 15.

RS: 998 Entry level cheaper price, new vent panels
RSS: engine upgrade to 1330 ACE, new vent panels
ST: engine upgrade to 13330 ACE, new vent panels
RT: no change

[CentralCoastCA]

HID headlights standard on all models, lighting on the front fenders that operates in sync with turn signals all models, a standard 3rd brake light option (like Tricled) on the top case of the RT and something similar for the ST/RS, turn signal lighting on the mirrors for all models.

I'm pleased to announce that Lamonster Garage is going to play a big part in the launch of the 2015 product line for BRP.

So let's see how close you can guess what the new 2015 Spyder lineup will look like. Post your guess here and whoever is deemed to be the closes to getting it right I will provide you a free gift from Lamonster Garage like some highway brackets or something like that.

Let the games begin

If you are playing a big part in the Launch, then I know it will be great

MY guess :The line up will stay the same for the RT, new color added and fuel door on seat.

the ST will have a beefed up engine, and one new color will be either pink or purple
and the RS will be offered in hybrid

Cruzr Joe

don't worry Joe ... that 15 will be her new bike. you'll be stuck on the 14

[djhobin]

For the 2015 ST & RSS 6th Gear and Body Panels with air scoops for getting a bigger air flow under the Tupperware.

[cyclelover63]

1) Sidecar for puppies
2) New designed cluster with integrated GPS,weather,radio as in Goldwing
3) New turn signal switch

[mustangbob]

adjustable nanny settings, shaft drive

[StanProff]

Congrats Lamont! Well deserved.
I'll stick with the RT's as that is the one I am most familiar with. New color or two for sure (hoping for the 2010 blue color that I have). Also on the tech side, I would not be surprised to see a integrated (BMW style) entertainment Info system including built in GPS navigation in the center display on the dash. Perhaps a factory seat fuel door and factory Corbin style passenger arm rest. I don't really think the engine will change in the RT, The adjustable handlebar may also find its way to the Limited. No shaft drive but we could see a belt tensioner as standard to eliminate the belt vibration. I'd also like to see some chrome come back in style. I also think it is time for BRP to do some custom paint designs (stripes, flames etc.) just for fun.

[bruiser]

RTS will get new dash, no analog gauges. One new paint color. Drive train remains same. RT LTD. New dash same as RTS, two tone paint. No other changes.

ST Limited to get 1330 engine. Some body panel changes for cooling. Two tone paint. Six speed trans. STS will get new drive train. New paint color

RSS don't know. Maybe loose that model and come out with a different model.

No hybrids. Yet.

[daveinva]

Different colors for the RT. Maybe an official "Lamonster" edition?

*Maybe* the 1330 for the ST.

The cheaper RS intro model with a smaller Rotax.

... and nothing I will want to trade my 2010 RS in for, alas.

[Wiredux]

I think the ST and the RT will remain the same. I think the RS will go away to allow for a complete redesign to come into play. Just my $0.02

[billrob71]

What ever is said is just guessing so I'll just sit back

What ever comes Lamont already has it 2 years ago and if he said we won't be disappointed, gotta go with that. We will all know soon enough.

The cat bypass , did they say-anything positive or negative about it?

[hut1]

Congrats Lamont! You are BRP's MVP!

Ok, here's my shot at it:

The RS will have very few changes and will remain the "entry level" model in the line-up. The price will drop again to make it more affordable for first-timers/younger buyers.

The RSS will get significant upgrades to distinguish it even further from the RS. Upgrades will be performance and appearance oriented and will only enhance the image of it being the "hot rod" model in the stable.

The ST will get the 1330 and other standard touring comforts.

The RT will get very few major changes, only creature comforts and accessories.

Of course there will be a couple of color changes/additions for each model, with something classy like a "Champagne" color for the RT/ST Limited editions.

The major changes for the entire line-up will be addressing the (heat, switches, etc.) issues that many of you have identified.

The next completely new model will be the Hybrid, or better yet, an electric plug-in model.

[KAPike]

Shaft drive RT with New rear styling from the driver back.
Graphic and paint options beyond single colors.
Radical new RS design in two power plant options.
New trailer design.

[Kratos]

RT........no changes
ST........receives 1300
RS-S......this is it's year, and I don't know what they have in store for it, but I have a feeling a 15 will be in my garage.

[dvandal]

A new model: Spyder LE (Lamonster Edition)
Else, all the things that look plausible have been already said

[spydaman60]

i'm not even guessing, but I hope the rss improvements will be impressive enough to make me want to buy a new one!!! i'm waiting with checkbook in hand!

[lyonsden]

Congrats Lamont. I think it is well deserved! I think the RT will get new colors including a deep red and integrated Bluetooth.

[retread]

For the RT, I'd like to see a wider, longer top box (trunk), and at least optional "doors" for the sidebags that are 2 to 3 inches deeper.
An all digital instrument panel would be good.
For the ST, the 1330/6speed in a little higher state of tune, and an air rear suspension
For the RSS, an optional 1200 V-twin, 6speed, and adjustable VSS.
For the RS, price drop, smaller engine, fully automatic trans.

LED Headlights.

New upper suspension arms with adjustable castor and camber.

RT with fully auto transmission.

Small detail refinements to the RT.

ST series gets big motor and suspension upgrades.

RS gets new frame, keeps small engine, but gets engine refinements to boost HP towards 140 HP.

All models go to OBD engine codes able to be read by any shop with a reader.
