Thinking about buying a 2020 can am rt
I currently own a 2020 can am ryker rally. Thinking about upgrade to the 2020 rt. Just wondering the semi automatic transmission can you put it on auto ,does it automatically up shift and down shift like the ryker .

No it will not shift up automatic, you have to push to paddle button for it to up shift into each gear. It will down shift by itself tho.

And it's more fun to ride the semi-automatic than a CVT too. All it takes is a thumb and a forefinger meaning it's much easier than a traditional manual transmission. Only my two cents.

Spyder RT
Spyder RT is a good choice. The SE6 is the way to go. Many people have done a demo ryde first, to check it out. Good Luck on Your Mission.

The SE 6 transmission is slicker than deer guts on a doorknob!
Artillery lends dignity to what would
otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

Warning!! The SE6 will spoil you and you will never want to go back to squeezing a clutch lever.

Let's not get too carried away. Some of us like the interaction between rider and machine.

In the mountain twisties and with the compression braking of the 1330 engine the SE6 gives you great interaction with the Spyder with no left foot involvement.

Good comment, except for the fact he has already given up squeezing a clutch lever! The Ryker doesn't have one!

He already has a no left foot involvement situation, unless he wants to use his foot to shift between forward and reverse while stopped. I suspect most ryders do that by hand. There is no usual shift lever on a Ryker.

I didn't know what the Ryker had and didn't have - never paid any attention. Thanks for filling me in guys.
Before getting my SE6, on day rides, my left hand would cramp mid afternoon. Hurt too. Now all day rides are a lot more pleasurable.

If you can afford it, JUST DO IT AND DON'T LOOK BACK.
I came from the opposite direction. I had a 2014 RTS with the manual transmission.
Going to the semi-auto took a little getting used to, but the additional comfort, better handling, weather protection and storage space are major upgrades, particulary if you ride two up to any distant destinations.
Good luck and keep us posted.
As always, my free advice comes with a double your money back guarantee.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

You meant power steering, right? The power steering on the Can Am is electrical. Not a big deal but just wanted to be sure you know what it is.

Hey Platinum!! I felt just like you back in 2018 when I took my Can Am Rider Education Course. They had every new model available - but, I claimed the Ryker with bright yellow panels...and never got off of it the entire weekend. Being just 5'2" tall, I felt like I was more one with the machine - that it did not over power me. When it came time to purchase my first Spyder, however, I ended up with a 2015 F3-S. So glad I had a slightly larger machine with better suspension and power steering. I never looked back!! Definitely test ride the re-designed RT, though. If you can rent one for the weekend, do it! The riding style is a massive difference from the Ryker - and when you are plopping down that kind of money, you want to be sure. Take it from me...mine went back to the dealership after 5 weeks. Phenomenal machine - just not the phenomenal machine for my riding style. Have fun!!!

I love my ryker rally. I like the cvt transmission. I'm just scared if I buy a rt on sharp turns, I might accidently shift the wrong gear and crash lol.

Fear not, my friend. In a case like that, the bike is smarter than you. Go for it and worry not!
