1330 Triple in other models?

Has anyone heard if Can Am plans to offer the 1330 Triple in other models for the 2015 models? The RT is an awesome machine but to big for me. I will be considering either an RSS or ST next year, but would really like the triple with the 6 speed. I really like how Can Am has listened to its customers and is continuing to improve the Spyder as time moves forward.

TIA,

Time will tell. The subject has been under much speculation. :bbq::bbq::bbq:

I am guessing it may show up in some other models for 2015.
 
I think you will see it. They have to forge ahead. Bigger motor more money. Isn't that what it's all about
the almighty dollar:cheers:
 
to be honest I would love to see a redesign of the RS into more of a sport model. Would love to see an engine that was more on the super bike side and I don't want them to touch the other models. It would be nice to have a total sport model to go along with the touring models.

The frame for the ST is the same as the RT so the 1330 would fit, but I will bet you it will not show up there until 2016. There is no way to fit it in the RSS without total Bike redesign - not enough time for that by 2015.

My guess is that what the surprise will be in 2015 is an RSS Jr with a smaller engine and lower body weight to drop the starter price for the product line...
 
1330 Ace

The ST doesn't need it, it's cool enough as it is. That's cool as in looks, it's certainly not cool in the heat output, it's red hot in that department.
It would look ugly too, leave it in the RT where it belongs and make the RS a much more sportier model by tuning and exhaust mods.
 
I sure hope it shows up in the 2015s, don't know if I can wait another year! I almost bought an RSS SM last week but the guy sold it before I could get there, it was a perfect bike for me. Told my wife this was a sign to wait until next year. I've been searching the web on the 1330 but haven't found anything, so I figured you guys would be my best bet :)

You do realize the frame is the same in the RT, ST, and RS. Also all the lower plastics of the ST and RS are the same?

The 1330 motor would fit just as easily in the RS as it would the ST. However, I really hope BRP does not go that route with the RS.
The RS really needs a high reving, higher hp, more of a super sport motor. 1330 sounds great and looks great on paper. However, A low rev tractor motor like the 1330 is NOT an upgrade in performance for the RS.
Now, pull the V4 out of the Aprilia rsv4 or maybe a 1300-1500 inline 4 each at 175+hp that will spin up to 12k rpm's, ....now that's an upgrade!

They aren't exactly starting R&D right now....it took them 2+ years to R&D the 1330...why wouldn't they have had a brain or 2 on how to fit it in the RS at the same time?

sounds like a plan drew. why don't you move to Canada and get a job at brp?? sign me up for one of the first ones off the line!!!:cheers:
 
They listened..!!

to the RT ryders. That is the money maker for them so they build them a new bike. If they do put the same setup in another model it will be the ST. This is that middle of the road model but attractive to the almost RT folks.. I would not like it in the RS/RSS granted this is my opinion and I did mention it to them..a bigger twin would be nicer platform...:ohyea::ohyea:
 
ST 1330 ACE

Surely if they put the 1330 into an ST they would have to change all the tuppaware as the 1330 engine is much wider, then it would just look like another RT.
Boring with a fat arse end. ;)

The 1330 could be anything they want it to be different cams ,compression ratios ,intake sizes ,fuel mapping ,head shapes,etc all could make it have zx14 power if they want ever heard of a speed triple ,take away the 200 lbs off the rt and a tractor motor would more impressive ,but does anyone think that the lawyers that wanted a burnt out tail lite to trip the nanny to only give you 40 mph would ever allow a 160 mph spyder?

A "tractor motor" would still be pretty impressive without the extra 200 lbs of an RT to pull around but do you think the lawyers that made a burnt out tail lite trip nanny to only give you 40mph would every a permit the marketing of a 165mph spyder?

Don't think there are to many RS riders that would want that motor in it in it's currant format.
 
The plumbing wouldn't fit anyway...
Remember the twin radiators, and their new location? :shocked:
The RS is probably the series that's in the crosshairs for the upcoming year...
What do you want to see? :dontknow:
If it was me; I'd like to see the ACE 600 engine brought into the base chassis, with a bit of downsizing and simplifying. This would create a more affordable entry-level bike.
The RS-S? The sky's the limit! :2thumbs:
How about the fully-articulated chassis that we've heard about? AND an injection of horsepower? :D
 
I'm holding off putting money in to my 2013 RS-S on the expectation we'll see a revised RS-S for 2015 with more power. Be nice to see a couple leaks so I could decide whether to do some work on this one or know my waiting is justified. :)
 
While we DID see pictures of the new RTs last August; that was pretty unusual... :gaah:
My guess is that you'll be waiting until the "Official" announcements.
But I hope that I'm wrong! :D
