    Default WIDE!

    I just got an RT pamphlet; I know the RT is wider than our Spyders, but this book shows the track at 78 inches! Am I going to have to buy a wider trailer?

    I believe Fred Rau told me that the RT was 2 inches wider. I believe the pamplet was wrong about the measurements.
    I am not 100% sure!

    3" is correct and the book is way off.

    Yeah, it's about 3" wider. While I was at Lamont's house we measured mine and the RT and compared. We came up with somewhere around 2 3/4" or so difference.

    BRP still seems to have some trouble with their published numbers. Can't be a translation from the French this time, as the metric measurements are way off, too. Their spec sheet shows total vehicle width at 62.3" with front wheel track at 54.5". Dont know where they came up with the goofy numbers in the brochure that make the wheel track wider than the wheelbase.
