RT 2020 vs 2024 - Is the ride different?

[MRH]

I was talking with another Spyder rider who strongly feels there was an upgrade to the feel of the ride between my 2020 and their 2024 (or perhaps it was a 2023). Both are RTs.

Wondering what others have experienced if you've actually spent time on the newer and older RTs since 2020 when the last major model change happened.

While my 2024 is my first Spyder I did not like the handling and before I had 1500 miles on it I went for new front shocks and the Ultimate sway bar. Now I like the way she handles

No question the anti-sway bar is game changer, and the shocks can also make a big difference for a lot of riders, but in this case I'm wondering about a stock apples-to-apples comparison between the years. I could easily see that just the sway bar difference could account for their experience if they didn't know it had been changed.

According to the parts manual, 2020 and 2024 Spyder RT's have the exact same part #'s for front/rear shocks-springs.
