Is it true? Are the Spyder 1330cc Rotax engines built in MEXICO now???

[SERGIU]

Hello everybody,

I just went to change my 2017 Daytona Spyder for a new one, and my dealer told me not do that as it would be a mistake! They said that old ROTAX engines are much better.

Is it true that 2023-2024 Rotax are made in Mexico not in Austria?

Regards,

Sergiu

Well, according to Google Search in 2007 BRP opened up a factory in Mexico to make Rotax engines for their ATVs. Sooooooo they could be making engines for the Spyders. Not sure if my local Spyder Dealer will want to talk. Just saying.

Making or assembling?
My 2022 Rotax has a stamp or tag on the engine case that says made in Austria.
