    Default Top Speed and Acceleration Test Can-Am Spyder 2022 F3 Limited Special Series

    I think the title has it all, right? As a bonus, I have made a comparison with tbe PedalBox ON and OFF.
    If you want to find out more details, see the full vlog on my official website.

    That was a great vid Martin!

    But I do feel that it's a pretty new bike, so it'll be interesting to see if that top speed & the acceleration improves any once the F3's got a few more miles up & everything's starting to free up a bit?? I hope you can do it all again to compare, maybe do another vid once it's travelled over 5000 km??

    Thanks again!

    Thanks Martin……very informative video, as usual. Like you, I find my pedal box excels when I am turning a corner to get on to the freeway on-ramp at 40Kph and need to get to 110kph as quickly as possible to merge with minimal impact on those around me.

    A few comments about the video at bike night recently. And we all agreed given Martins propensity for speed................
    ''Bagger racing...........it'll never catch on''.''
    I thought I saw in one of his videos sitting on the workbench a copy of Streamliner theory and design''
    Another said ''70p.s.i. would that be so bad?
    I'm guessing ceramic wheel bearings available soon

    Nice video. I especially like the comparison between using the pedal box and when it is off. Some say it doesn't make a difference in acceleration, but I beg to differ.

    It does, but honestly, I don't like people to only watch it on a straight line... it's the flexible acceleration that it gives from different "rolling" speeds that gets me always
