RS- Really Sexy
RSS- Really Super Sexy


The RSS has upgraded paint colors, shocks (2012 models), seat cover, a fancy decal on the hood, ect...... but I'm almost certain the internals are the same.

Fox shocks on the 2012 RSS are the biggest difference... Everything else is pretty much window dressing.
The guts are the same!

For 2012 the differences between the RS and the RS-S are as follows:

- Upgraded stitched seat
- Two tone coloration
- Black six spoke front wheels
- Painted front spoiler and A-arms
- Carbon black handle bar console and lower body parts
- RS-S Graphics
- Gas charged Fox front shocks

Like they said I guess.

Salesman told my buddy that his rss would corner better than my rs/gs because his 2011 rss has a better sway bar ???

Pro10is has given the actual upgrades for the RS-S, broken down the Fox shocks offer a substantial improvement in handling;every other component works to create a sportier image, but does not alter performance. The upgrades are well worth the expense (around $1800 over the RS) if you consider what they would cost to add later. However, I decided to buy an RS and add the Fox shocks (less than $500) and with the difference I bought the BRP touring windshield, passenger backrest, and 1" riser. I loved the basic black look anyway and I knew my options were changes I really wanted. To emphasize, this is not to take anything away from the RS-S package which definitely hits a home run when it comes to an aggresive, sporty appearance at a very reasonable price, just to say there are a lot of options available to personalize an RS, which may or may not be a higher priority for you.

Thanks for clearing that up. I had been wondering what the difference was

Agreed. I did pretty much the same...
