    Default Launch Stats/Trip page on 2020 RTL

    I noticed on my launch stats/trip page that the max mph reached was showing 120. I took delivery of my RT with only 1.9 miles on the odometer. There’s no suitable road within that distance of the dealership for someone to have gone that fast. My question is, do they come from the factory showing that speed by default? I’ve read that the speed limiter is set at 120 so maybe it showed up on the stat page when they set it?

    When Spyders roll of the assembly line, a BRP associate then takes it to the company drag strip alongside the factory. Yours is one of the better ones - hitting 120 in the quarter is rare.

    Mine says 99 mph. I did that when pulling my trailer with big 145 tires on it. I've yet to try it without pulling my trailer. Ha! I've also removed my 145 tires and replaced them with the standard 4.80 X 12 tires. My RTL ran like a dog pulling my trailer with the bigger tires on it.

    I think what you'll find is that when it comes off the line it go's to a dyno, before it gets broke down and crated! They run it, give it a good burp and there you go!! And some people don't believe in the run it like you stole it break ins periods!!

    How do you look at these Stats ??
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    It’s on the screen that displays Trip A, Trip B, and Total.

    Mine said 120 also.
    My wife looked at it and said "I thought you had to take it easy on break in".

    Not with engines that are designed, machined and measured for close tolerances by computers. Much better made then before, so no need for break in. It is a good idea to take it easy for the first 500-1000 miles. First service is 3000k.
