    Default Heat from my 2014 test RT

    I really don't mean to tease all of you on the cold side of the US, but today I was riding when it was 94 degrees, and my head was hotter than my feet. BRP needs to do something about that dang helmet

    Yeah they really did fix the heat issues on the 2014. When I was riding this past week and it was 29 degrees I was hoping for some heat coming off the Spyder but it didn't happen.

    Default 2014 Heat
