2020 rt

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

They shrunk it. Saddle looks more sculpted. Nice evolution in the marque.

Earlier model years should get a boost in resale value from this development I think.

Shrunk ??? ….. specs say 4.5 +/- longer ……. Mike hyea:

They will have the new Tech dash but more storage. The rider part of the seat flips up for gas letting the passenger stay put. Adjustable floorboards. Removable trunk.

I find it interesting. I sure hope they did a better job with the top case, frunk and side cases over what they did with the F3.

I like the looks of this when the trunk is off. Nothing that I would switch up for, but the larger saddle bags (larger than my F3T) are nice. I also like the larger frunk.

So they now put the RT on the F3T/L chassis with a different set of body work. The old RT chassis was introduced in 2013 and was the same as the RS and ST. So I guess time to go.

I do wish BRP would do a better job of marketing. Their website and video's are flashy but don't really show or get down to the nitty gritty of the bike. Think they ought to give a better tour of the design and changes etc., I understand that this is their way of marketing but people who buy the product and own one already, would love to know the details, see the details, understand the details etc., you can't learn with the video's they have produced. Think they could improve on that for sure.

I think it looks good and seems to have some great features. Long footboards allow you to move your legs (That's why I ride a F3L), removable trunk that is wide enough to hold two helments, and better electronics control panel. What I really want to know is how big are the saddlebags and the frunk? Are they bigger than the F3 bags because this looks a lot like a modified F3.

BRP has updated their 2020 RT page: https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/models-2020/spyder-rt.html

Thanks a lot. I looked, I liked, I printed a build it page, I looked at potential dealers.

They even got me with the RT in Petrol (Aqua) color...been waiting for that since about 2013. I like the "clean" look...no top box. Found two accessories...the heated comfort seat and the front auxilliary light. No need for the $2K top box in back. So far...$24K and change.

Remaining....a dealer who is willing to give me a good deal....and I am hard when it comes to that. The looking and make an offer stage to follow. opcorn:

Keep in mind this was the dealer show, not consumer show. They repeatedly said, "Come see us in the showroom!" That's where the dealers will see the details. Consumers just have to wait our turn!

31 gallons without the top box. 47 gallons with the $2K top box option.

Thanks. I looked it up after i wrote that post. It looks like with both sporting top boxes the new RTL has about 25% more storage than the F3L. . That's a bunch.

 

[jcthorne]

The top box is better than the F3 even though it looks the same. LED headlights.

The hinge improvements carry to the F3 as well. They use the same top case for 2020.

That's because it IS a modified F3. Same chassis with more options added. The new frunk is larger with the radiators moved outward and facing forward. Its just a trim level up from the F3 limited now.

I happen to like the F3 trim look, a lot. I always felt that RT and F3 were side by side, just for different stylings. But that seems to have changed. :\ Guess it's a good thing I'm not looking to replace mine.

A little comparison of the specs......2019 -vs- 2020 Wheelbase is the same (67.5") Overall length, the 2020 is 4" longer. The seat height of the 2020 is 3/4 inch lower. Overall width, the 2020 is 3/4 inch narrower. ...... Jim

Does anyone know if there is more room for the passenger front-to back? My wife and I are on the bigger side, and having some room between us would be really nice. Our 2018 RT LTD is a little cramped.
When we had our HD, I moved the tour pack back 2 inches (52mm) which allowed some air to pass between us. I wonder if this can now be done on the 2020 RT LTDs?
