So it's called the Ryker!

[ofdave]

The Outback with CVT, I'll believe that. A Tacoma with CVT - not so much

have to agree, no Tacoma has a CVT. some Corollas and Priuses have them, Not a Tacoma

It seems that BRP picked out a name with some strong "Street Credentials".

Maybe but everyone I talk to says the same thing. "They named if after Star Trek?"

How about this accessory: a seat attachment that is a mini trunk (big enough to cram the wifes purse in), put a helmet lock on there somewhere and add a cushion to it so it can double as a back rest.

BTW: ALL Spyders/Rykers should have SPORT mode available on them.

She wants the Ryker Rally with Army Green, Sport Shield and Splash Guards.

There is a top case that attaches behind the seat has an accessory. Sort of what you're asking for.

[Bob Denman]

There is?
I must have missed that option; while building the three that I tinkered around with!
Thanks for the info!

[Deanna777]

My first impression: I LIKE IT.

Had to do a bunch of searching but the Can Am site has a build it section that actually works.

Three versions available: Rally, 600 cc, 900 cc. You can buy the 600 for $8499.

A lot of color combos available. Some actually "new." The color choices are panels that they charge extra for.

A "passenger" seat can be purchased. Otherwise, It's made for one up driving.

This should rev up the market for BRP and get more people interested. I must compliment BRP.

They have added some new colors and offer "dark" and "chrome" versions for the RT. The base model is white only. I like the phoenix orange.

I also like the Phoenix Orange, in the RT in the Chrome Version.

Thanks folks for the update on the RT. I did not find that section when I looked.

Yes, the RT is still here and I do like that orange color.

I do like the orange. Deanna

[Deanna777]

Under the skin.

Hey, It looks like they are using the "Kenda Tires".
Look at the front wheel, lower left with red dot.

If you add the passenger seat that option goes away . It mounts in the same location. If you have the passenger seat you get the shad bag option only

I like the sounds of Stryder

The Ryker reminds me of the Sportster and Harley. The low price may get people into riding three wheels and soon after they will want the extras of the F3 or RT. Not a bad plan. I would like to see the driveshaft migrate to the F3's and RT's.

Honda better get their rear in gear if they have any thoughts about getting a piece of the three wheel market. Good grief Honda, throw a front end on that 1800 Goldwing and call it a day!

BRP does it again!!!
actually, its even uglier than F3 and more stuff I added, windshield/saddlebag, worse it looked.
I shall take good care of my 15 RS, hopefully long enough for BRP or other manufacturers to come up with a replacement.

its just my opinion and doesn't make it right or wrong, just not for me.

[asp125]

..

Me neither, can't get used to the lawn tractor front end of the F3 and now the Ryker. Now, the lower maintenance shaft drive and the center lock wheels? They got that right.

[delkhouri]

After some time thinking about it... I think the real money for can am to make is in all the accessories/accessorizing that people will want to do to their Ryker to make them their own. It's brilliant really.

I am sure that you have all realized this by now

I'm also thinking this is lessons learned from the way they market their Sea-Doo Spark. Sell a deliberately de-contented "bait" version at a loss, so you can advertise the MSRP, but offer a much more desirable "real" version just one step up on the food chain.

[delkhouri]

So I finally got to watch some videos on the Ryker.... It looks like the designers took the batman motorcycle from the Dark Knight, made it into a y-frame tryke and put Darth Vaders Face on it. Not sure if I love the looks or hate them but I am pretty sure there is no in between.

Whats Not to like-
Easy access to rear tire replacement and Spark Plugs , Battery, and coolant ! Little slot car that's going to replace my F3 and cost me nothing in a decent deal! Sport front windshield will probably need the touring shield on top But its a No Brainer for me who rides only in my own State with no long trips. Gas mileage on the ACE 900 is excellent on the Spark and probably much better than the 1330 in my F3? Just want a test drive?

100% agree!!!

BRP is on the right track in a lot of ways with this, but the styling definitely needs work. The F3 grew on me, but still is not appealing to say the least (In my opinion).

Lots of comments about the F3 looking like a lawn mower with the Ryker on the same page is funny, because when I had my wife at the dealer the last time she commented that the F3 looked like a lawn mower at the time a just laughed. Funny seeing other people think the same!

One thing for sure and Harley has this problem too is not everyone likes the mid mount or forward pegs. I prefer more of a sport position with the peg pulled back more from the mid point, I can't see if they allow that or not. Doesn't seem that way though.

As the 2019 Spyder's go I like the RT by far the best in the styling department, followed by the F3, with the Ryker in last, who knows maybe it will grow on me like the F3 did.

[Dubliner]

single seater.. no place for significant other to ride??????????? NO THANKS!
BIG F

If you look at the photo you can see the passenger seat on the back, the seat looks a tad small for one of ample girth though! 😎

[Dubliner]

I'm not sure how you lose power with a swing arm. All the current spyders have swing arms.

I think he means shaft drive, I talked to our local dealer this morning and they were just getting feedback about it from the show. He doesn’t know when they will have any. But I have booked a test ryde anyway.. I don’t mind travelling..

[Dubliner]

My guess is yes. The SxS and Sleds with this setup do. It's called RER and the engine actually spins backward which turns the clutch in the opposite direction. That's how reverse is achieved. The beauty is.......no extra parts for reverse.

On the video this morning they were talking to a MMA guy and he mentioned that it had reverse. You might see it now. It was to be uploaded this morning
