The RS and the RSS are identical except for paint job, shocks and sway bar (which is pretty much indistinguishable from the RS sway bar). If you have an RSS it will be obvious. If it's not obvious, then you have an RS (unless it has been repainted or wrapped).

Many times listings are miss printed as the common discription for an RS will be RS Sm5 or RS Se5 so some list RSS when it is only an RS. Some came with a big RSS sticker on the frunk (front trunk) which made it clear. If you have the fox shock probably an RSS...:thumbup:

Since it is solid metallic black it is an RS. The only series model that came in that color in 2015 model. See 2015 RS series spec brochure. https://www.brp.ca/content/dam/canam-spyder/Global/MY2015/Documents/Lineup/2015_RS-Spec-PAC-Sheet%20EN_.pdf

Many put the RSS upgrade shocks on their RS. But I do not think BRP made an RSS that did not have the large RSS print on the trunk lid. I was always partial to the Green one!
