• 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.

Is there a Wind tunnel video of 2020+ Spyder RT Ltd?

Has anyone seen / found a video of the wind tunnel test on the 2020+ spyder rt limited. I think it would be interesting to see the aerodynamics of the Spyder RT and determine if any body modification could reduce drag for better highway speeds and gas mileage.
 
The difference is probably only in the size of the barn door one is trying to push through the atmosphere; the MY2020/2021 RTs have a somewhat smaller door.
 
Funny, Just saw this post. I took my first longish ride this last week/weekend by riding to the Hot Springs Rally. 350+ miles each way and a total of 1,015 miles total for the rally and round trip. It was very hot the entire time. I kept thinking to myself that there is no doubt BRP wind tunnel tested the 2021 RTL’s (Sea to Sky model for me) as there is absolutely no air movement within the cockpit! If I stuck my hands out to the side or straight up I could feel some cooling air and if a sat as straight up as i possibly could I could get some cooling air into the eye port of my helmet...but strictly within the cockpit area it is completely still air. That doesn’t happen by accident, so there is surely a video, just probably not made public. The no air will be great In cool or wet weather riding but I didn’t find it so great in miserably hot/humid weather.

Can’t wait to get the adjustable upper and lower side wings installed and see how much difference it makes. Overall I enjoyed the trip and the Spyder immensely, no regrets with my purchase at all.
