    Would be nice if BRP comes out with an update to the 2015/2016 F3-S software/firmware and lets the VSS be disabled if you choose on that as well. Possibly wishful thinking on my part...

    Thanks for the info on that new model F3, Lamont. So it's available for order now, huh? Since I'm mostly a tourer and can't afford two Spyders, I'll have to pass, but that's going to make for a lot of fun for some folks.

    Default Belt

    How did the front sprocket (pulley) hold up? Did it eat into the belt any? Heard this is a problem with the F3's.

    Nice looking ride, colors are great too.

    Great review! Looks like it could be a lot of fun. Have to agree with you that 125 is a lot of fun - rode that when we were there for Spyderfest.

    BRP's website seems to indicate that the Sport mode will be available on all F3-S models. Like was suggested above, it would be nice if the new mode could be pushed to the 15's & 16's!

    When can we expect this option on other models. Mainly the RS/RSS?

    Is this really true? The RS, RSS and ST models will no longer be built after the 2016 model year?

    If this is true my Spyder riding days are over

    Why would they make it available to older models when what they really want is for you to buy a 2017?

    It was mentioned in Lamont's video that they felt better about relaxing Nanny's grip in this model, due to the lower center of gravity...
