RT's

Let me see if I get this right, they didn't eliminate any colors on the RT, but added three new ones.

need all those blacked out bars, pegs, rear wheel etc for my 09 Phantom... bet those parts would be a pricey swap tho, hate painting parts, and powdercoating parts like pegs will probably chip away easily... nice to have factory colored parts....

man, keep getting visuals of my phantom all blacked out with those OEM parts :bowdown:

Man does BRP need to work with a better group of photographers. These photos are horrible and make the red look like a Matchbox plastic red color and the white is white. Not Pearl. When we saw the Pearl online with the RS-S my wife and I thought it was looking like the normal white bleh.. Then in person it knocked our socks off.

That makes me doubt HIGHLY of the actual Pure Magnesium Metalic and the Red is even properly displayed at this point.... BTW I do realize these are most likely computer generated colors and all... But just look at the photos of the Blue RT-S in the BRP site... Nothing like the real deal...

We are trying to put our order in for the 2011 and waited for this official release before doing so. But now I want to see the actual paint chips...

Man am I frustrated...:gaah:

Other than that... OMG I love what BRP has done. Thanks Lamonster!!!

WOW

These new Spyders are SHARP!! :2thumbs::2thumbs::2thumbs:

Now if they can get as quality of engineers working on the dependability issues as they have on the design team we would all be in hog heaven.

To me the pearl looks more a beige, I don't care for it. A pure white one is sharp though. There's one painted here an Arctic white with silver decals and it's a beauty.

They blacked the handlebars, pegs and brackets and rims including the rear wheel. :doorag:

BRP copied my blacked out theme, and Evans shorter windshield too. More proof they read the posts on here...LOL

Dont worry about powdercoated parts. They last a long time. I did my Phantom in all black right after I bought it.

2011 RT Lineup

I like the red one and the pearl white "Limited." It looks like the RT Limited is the same thing I have now (RT-S Premier Edition), except they add the integrated GPS as standard (something tells me the price will reflect), where for '10 it was a $1,199.00 option. "Newly calibrated shocks." Hmm ... probably means a heavier spring. I wonder if this will start a rash of current RT owners ordering '11 RT shocks for their '10s, vs. getting the Elkas, Penskes or whatever (Love my Elkas). So always a neat machine ... The single item that really intrigues me is that newly-sculpted windscreen, whether it might reduce some drag and help mpg, and of course if it can be fitted to a '10.

... and Thanks Lamont for grabbing ahold of this preview. While dedicated (mostly by wallet size) to only owning an RT-S, the RS's look very very cool for '11.

My guess is they changed the springs and valving on the shocks. It will swap out with the 2010 and I'm sure they will be cheaper than any of the aftermarket shocks. I still love my Elka's but I do have a set of the new BRP shocks heading my way to test.

As far as mileage on the shield I'm not sure if you see any increase or not. I'm running the ESI Street Magic shield now that is 3" shorter but it is 5" wider and I'm not seeing any increase in fuel economy but I do like looking over the shield much better. When the RT5 guys were briefed last year we were told that they were going to offer 3 different shield heights but for whatever reason they held off on bringing them out this year.

One thing they did mention is they were seeing a slight increase in fuel economy by changing the lower air deflectors. If that's the case I'm sure the Baker Airwings would have the same effect.

Here's a better pic of the white, it is pearl and I think it looks great. Click on the Original Size to really see the paint.

Thank you!!!

I love my dealer... They said worst case... They are going to order one of each and when they arrive let us see the colors in person to make our choice from! :clap:hyea::yes::bowdown:

But then I read the Limited is not due till Spring 2011 :yikes:... Guess now it is another Blue one or that metalic... Unless that red looks good... Sigh... I need a drink...

NEW GEARS AND ACCESSORIES FOR 2011

For 2011, whether for long or short rides, Can-Am takes the worry out of packing with its new and expanded Spyder storage solutions. Spyder RT riders will be able to add more eye-catching style to their mounts with 18 new chrome accessories and HID Xenon lights. Customized style will be a cinch for long distance riders with the RT-622 trailer's new colours. High style and leading edge technology also meet in the 2011 Can Am Spyder clothing lineup, with the revolutionary Kavalier jacket as the perfect case in point.

I like my red and I liked the yellow a little better. I picked red over yellow only because I have two yellow ski-doos. And I like how the black breaks up the primary color of the Spyder. But I must say, I really like the new orange with the black hood, wow. I want one.
