• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

20-21 top speed

Asking for my friend Jake -----

He can't get his 20 RT over 108 mph and really wants more. He thinks the VSS limits top speed. My old 2014 with a stage 1 pulls right through that, up through and beyond 115 ( with the windshield down).

Soooooooooo:

Are the new :spyder2:'s top speed governed to 108 MPH????

Thanks in Advance,

Lew L
 
Top Speed

:coffee: Well, yes. Anything faster you be flying and need a pilots license. ....:roflblack:.....:roflblack:

:popcorn: Maybe BRP will have some answers.

Just curious about the +108 mph speed need. ....:thumbup:

Any good ECU Tuner should be able to sort that tiny problem right out for him! :ohyea: . :yes: . :thumbup:
 
Mine tops a little over 105. Not sure about the desire to go faster. Quite frankly, I'm more comfortable plodding along in the right lane slightly under the speed limit and letting folks pass me.
 
Unless your on a drag strip, don't know why you would have the need for any faster than 108!! I know how mine feels at 80, don't think I would want to go 108. Now I love to go from 0-65 with my hair on FIRE!!!!!!:ohyea::b2b:
 
No idea on maximum speed capability.

At a guess though, at over 100 the fuel, mpg is likely around 9.25 miles per gallon, giving a range of 50 miles.
 
Thanks for your question, I was wondering the same thing.
I past what I consider to be the break in mileage on my 2020 RT last week end and gave it a good spirited run, at 103 I backed out of it and regretted
staying in it long enough to see just what it would do.
Mine handled good at that speed, but you do have to have your head in the game. I found 85 or so to be a good lay back and cruse speed.
I would like to find a good hand held tuner that would work with the RT and take it in for a dyno tune.
 
Plenty of back country roads in the NE ConUS to do so. One only needs to be selective. If your friend needs to ask, IMHO, he does not need to be riding or for that matter, driving. Just my .02

Well, Jake says the only roads he knows of in the NE that are straight and wide enough for that kind of speed are the heavily patrolled turnpikes.

Unlike in Nevada, for instance, or Arizona, where he routinely cruises over 100 mph...
 
Not sure about Spyder's, in the automotive world top speed is programmed to the safe speed rating of the original TIRES! that being said, i am surprised they go over 50MPH?
Someone mentioned his Stage 1 programmed Spyder went right past the 108 MPH speed, maybe speed limit increased by the stage 1 program....
 
"Jake" needs to get out of his/her hooch ! It is my personal opinion that "Jake" is full of crap. Again, if this person is that unfamiliar with said person's surroundings, he/she needs to be institutionalized for his/her own safety as well as the general public.
