Hey, I apologize in advance if this has been covered - but I haven't found it yet.
I've been trying to find the turning radius of both the F3 and the Ryker, with no luck. Not in the BRP web site, not in the scattered magazine test reports, nowhere.

Can anybody direct me to that info?

Thank you.

Smaller than that of a Mack truck but not by much! Can’t say I have ever seen that information

Make a u-turn and measure how wide it took. Divide by 2. That is your radius

:coffee: I did the turning radius testing and came up with about 13 feet.
DO the Test in a large parking lot and SEE what you get.
I have a 2016 RTL......:thumbup:
PS: about 3 -10 feet small town street's to make the U-Turn. I usually go around the block if I miss the place. My 2....:banghead:

You just didn't see the turn radius in the specs because it is listed in acres. The Spyder is about double the turn radius of my old Harley Sportster trike.

A little song to go with the theme of the thread:

BUT--- I feel much more confident making that hard , tight u-turn on my :spyder2: than I ever did on any motorcycle. AND-- you bet you go where you look.

If in a hurry.... spin the back end and you can cut the radius way down.... F3 are easier to do with the relaxed nanny...:roflblack:

Yeah, I will spin it around on dirt, but I don't really like buying tires, so on asphalt it is a 3 point turn.

On a RT you hafta suck in your belly so that the handlebar has room to make sharp Uies.

Use reverse. It cuts the radius down to about 6'. lol

Tried it on my Ryker on the empty parking lot. You can make full U-turn on 2 parking space.
