So it's called the Ryker!

Where this bike will succeed is in the 74000 ways to upgrade it. Stripped down version to get you started and you start adding the farkles. Lamonster will be a busy man!

16 inch tires all around with one lug nut.

I'll be taking a serious look at the Rally model when it finally gets over here (not holdng by breath). Shame its an auto but to finally get some proper offroad ability will be worth it

...but why a low seat and foot forward again!!! When have you ever seen a foot forward adventure bike? I assume its a case of style over function. Hopefully the seat can be raised somehow as the pegs can be moved back.

Here you go (for those with facebook as the video is hosted there):

Looks kinda cool, but I don't think that I will ever buy one simply because of the stupid name.
"Hey, that looks cool, what is that?"
"Well, that's my new Can Am Ryker" ugggh

[tibadoe]

I kind of like it. Would need more info on all the details.

[old Timer]

Can not wait to try it out. Can buy two for the price of any number of Motorcycles. a CVT auto tranny is great. Our Polaris 500 HO ATV had over 12,000 miles on it when we traded it in still with its original belt....and ran perfectly. Lots of ATV's and UTV's with belt CVT's at 80 to well over 100HP that work well for lots of miles.

Drive shaft, a big time plus. The two engines available are well sorted out.

My wife and I are "Half a glass full" type of people. Life is a much greater adventure with a positive outlook.

Does anyone know if BRP Connect is on the ‘19’s? Website says integrated dash, apps etc but doesn’t say “BRP Connect. I really hope they don’t scrap that.

And they say it’s extremely customizable, and we can lease them. I think that leasing would kill the customization claim. Who would spend money on aftermarket parts if they don’t own it?

[Little Blue]

I wonder what the name means? Sometimes New things have a good start. I think I will enjoy my RTL and read the reviews a year from now.

[scooterexpress]

i had a Honda silverwing before the spyder it was a 600 cvt was extremely smooth ryde only thing I didn't like was there was no neutral just gas and go stop. simple concept of all mopeds.

You can find 2017 base model F3's brand new for under 10K right now......

Where?

While I'm not wild about the looks...
It's a bike worth investigating a bit further!

[IWN2RYD]

Great concept. Frankly, the second thought I had was that they should have done this before the F3 and today they should be announcing the F3. As this is clearly an entry level, get more people on a Spyder ryde. And boy does it look simple and easy to work on. That makes it attractive to a larger crowd.

I think this will sell. Heck, I am pretty sure we will get one just for one up fun. This is no different to me than taking the family RTS or the weekend warrior Ryker in to town.

That said, I am concerned on the comfort of the ryde. The rear shock and steering specifically.

Lastly... The Ryker might be go-cart or four wheeler on the street kind of fun, but legal


I just did a quick build on the $8500 unit. It chose the 900cc for me, I never could find how to change it... $12,843.84

The only thing that stands out is the off road capabilities.

[spydermyke990]

Do you have any intel on how that CVT tranny holds up in the snowmobiles? I know in the auto world, some brands initially had big problems with reliability of their CVTs. And you can rack up a lot more miles on a bike than a snowmobile, so durability may be a challenge.

I owned a renegade 800x for a few years before I got my mc license and traded it for my current Spyder sts. All of can am’s 4x4 atv’s have a cvt system and from my experience it’s very rugged. Basically it’ll be the 900 or 600 ave motors with the cvt system (and duct work) from the ATVs. My renegade was 600lbs and the 800 v twin cranked out 72hp, with the 4wd system and it was a total rocket, I had no problem lighting up all 4 wheels or pointing the front end up. The rally version it the Ryker puts out 77hp at roughly the same weight so it’ll be more than enough. The turbo 900 motor they use in the x3 buggies I think puts out 154 hp so if the decide to put that into the Ryker in the future it might be a bit too much for that single rear wheel.

Where?

Check dealer specials.. mine had 2017 base models for $9,700. Too good of a deal to pass up.....

[Firefly]

The only thing that stands out is the off road capabilities.

I don't see them doing anything 'off-road' in the videos with it that I haven't done with my Spyder(s). Many worry too much about the belt and gravel roads. On my 2008 GS I used to fishtale up and down gravel and dirt roads all the time... never had a belt issue in the 75,000+ miles I put on it....

And with such low HP and torque it's not going to tear up the trails....

Number one, your new namesake trike looks like a number two...…

[Culpjp]

The only thing that stands out is the off road capabilities.

I don't know about the off road capabilities. I think they just mean gravel roads, which can be a problem for the current models. I don't see them intending these to be ridden on a trail. Doesn't mean people won't try though.

[Firefly]

Look at the engine specs:

600cc ACE in-line two cylinder starting at $8499 - 47hp 35torque
900cc ACE in-line three cylinder starting at $9999 - 77hp 56 torque

Not much oomph going on there...…especially with a CVT where you can't drop a gear when passing, etc.

Such low torque won't bode well for off-roading.....

[Bob Denman]

Hi Dan!
You have to remember that this bike wasn't "Built for the Blackwater..."
It was built more for the dirt road, the poorly maintained road, and the sort of off-road trail that you might take your Grandma on...

[DJFaninTN]

I think it will have mass appeal worldwide. Especially in Europe.

[wyliec]

Overall this looks like a neat product at a good price, and it's really cool that it has a shaft drive, but it sure is ugly to my eyes. You add the saddlebags and a rear seat to it and it's still ugly. Looks like a Japanese robot. Same is true of the Yamaha Nikken. People buy stuff they are attracted to. I don't predict either this or the Nikken to be huge successes for that reason alone.

How does the saying go? Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.
