• 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.

Any way to modify an RTL to mimic the off-road features of the new Canyon?

There are still many dirt roads/passes in Colorado that are nicely graded and travelled regularly by cars. I don't have any desire to ride on rough, ditched, or rocky 4WD roads. I get that. Protection of the under carriage and belt would probably be sufficient in my opinion to allow the RTL to safely travel on these type surfaces at a reasonable speed.

Read post #8 ...... Mike :thumbup:
 
Can Am's 2025 fiche is out now, but as far as I can see, no belt guard upgrade will work - the swingarms are different, with the bracket for the belt guard made on the Canyon swingarm. :gaah:

But... with AWD, a lift kit, knobby tires, and a switchable front locking differential, you might have something. Makes a good SXS look real good to me....

The reason folks look to the Ryker/Canyon/modified RT is that they can be licensed, which is a requirement in US forest and other areas. I would look at a UTV, but that only gets me registered (not licensed/plated) for county roads in Georgia.

I have my SxS plated for county roads. Just did some FS roads in N. Georgia recently. $20 and liability insurance and you get a plate. And when the road crosses a river, I don't have to turn around. :)

Exactly. The only caveat would be grade. Could be an issue.
