I mean, it is 59.4" wide, so there is only 0.3" to spare on each side whilst loading onto trailer. :shocked:

Not gonna work, you will booger something up. Heard of it happening already. Get a 6x10 or 6x12 if you can
My Aluminum Triton is an 84” x 120”. This gives me room to walk around and strap it down. Plus, for me, it helps to get on and off more safely. The ramp is the full width and 4’ long. ;) cueman
I'll probably get a 5.5 X 9 one.
Probably prudent would be to BACK it onto the trailer.

I have a 6' x 12' Triton trailer and plan on putting 2 Rykers back to back on it by offsetting the rear wheels.
And don’t forget that the front of the Ryker is heavier than the rear. Just make sure the trailer is long enough so you can get the proper hitch weight. IMO cueman
Yes, doing it backwards is always easier... lol
Manuel states the RYKER should be transported with the front facing forward.
Speaking of that, instead of towing on a trailer, I've just sent a message to Can-Am asking if the Ryker be towed safely (i.e. w/o transmission damage) on a dolly with the rear wheel on the ground. Will be interesting what they say.
Will be a helluva lot less weight towing & much better resulting MPG.
When the Rep at CanAm stops laughing about using a Dolly I'm relatively sure the answer will be a firm NO
Would not be a good idea AT ALL because the input pulley from the motor would be spinning a extremely hi RPM's as the CVT tranny would think it is in the lowest effective gear. The engine RPM governs the engagement of the centrifugal clutch on the motor. It would be like putting a manual shift vehicle in low gear and holding the clutch in while pulling the venicle, at the speed increases the transmission input would try to run an extremely hi RPM with the resulting serious damage to the tranny and possibly the motor should the centrifugal clutch accidently engaged. Try pushing your Ryker in either forward or reverse gear with the motor off.
Do not try it.
Transport facing forward mainly because the windshield is designed to cut thru the wind not catch it.
I have an 80" wide by 12' long trailer. it will fit both my Ryker, and the wife's Spyder. It's a tight fit with the Spyder being backed onto the trailer.
