Haven’t seen any capacity specs for the 2020 RT side cases. Has anyone found them?

Yes, I really torn between the new and the classic.

I do like the 'praying mantis' look of the front end of the original.

I was wondering the same thing.

The stats that show side and top case separately say 31 gallons for side cases only. With the top case added...it shows 47 gallons of storage.

I am guessing the above numbers include the frunk storage...but I have not seen that information posted separately.

Looks like a f3t

I agree that the frunk storage has to be included, and the 2020 frunk is deeper so it should hold more.

It looks to me to be one or two steps backword,
the passenger now does not have the security of the trunk with backrest
and the arm rests to ensure they don't fly off in turns.
They have made it in my view into a one person trike with
an occasional passenger seat. Even with the removable trunk on
there is less storage room than before
May as well go with the F3 LTD
only my opinion... and you know about opinions

It look likes the side cases are the same size because they are selling the same Cargo travel bags in the 2020 Catalog for all RT years.

I did a comparison chart and highlighted the differences with the 2020 RT and 2020 RT Limited.

The Semi Rigid Rear Side Cargo Travel Bags part # 219400169 is the same for all RT years ( including the 2020 RT).


I bought mind( Semi Rigid Rear Side Cargo Travel Bags ) 5 years ago.

Not sure I agree that they have taken a step backwards, while a backrest and armrests can be installed, albeit this this might look a little odd it is still pratical. My first impression when i saw the released pic of the RT (without topcase) was that it is somewhat akin to the Goldwing F6b (of course less the 1800 6cyl motor) with 2 wheels up front and made me wonder if that is the look and feel they are pitting this model against as a tourer.

One thing I noticed in one of the promo videos. They are driving on gravel roads. Did something change there?

I'm pretty sure those were Rykers.

Regarding the rear trunk. Honda did the same thing with the refreshed Goldwing in 2018. As for capacity the 2018 RT Limited is about 178 litres, the Goldwing 110 litres including the trunk. Compared to the touring standard bearer we have nothing to complain about!

The 2020 Spyder RT promos do feature dirt road riding RT's at the 1 min+ mark of the 2020 Can-Am Spyder RT // The Ride Reimagined video.

We can ride our current RT's on dirt roads just fine, just the way they are. I've done a couple hundred miles of dirt roads on my '13 RT with no ill effects. We're talking graded dirt and gravel roads not off-roading like the RT Rallye's can do...

Dave, what I think they did was take some of those bells and whistles out and made them a optional equipment!! it will make the aftermarket guy's happy! All in all I think they have made some good changes in the style, tho don't like the open shot to the radiators, looks like trouble! The headlights are a plus I think, power ports, rear trunk that will fit two helmets, floor, boards!! Can not wait to put my butt on one!!

This is the first video I have seen with the side bags opening. You have to lock each side bag and the top case individually like the F3T and F3L, no more one lock locking method like the previous year RT’s.

Wonder how the foot brake pedal is with people with big shoes. Looks rather close to the lower plastics in the video.

[Batmobil-F3]

On this picture you can see the position of the brake pedal. I think this is also good for big feet.

But see the cover in front of the brake pedal. I wonder if that would be a issue?

Also, does it still have the brake away feature of the floorboard when you hit the brake pedal real hard in an emergency.

For me this is a huge improvement over the current RT.
