RT Trailer info and vidio

[DannyS]

Here is a link to the new trailer and a video of it. This was posted today on BRP news looks good and the price is OK also. I am not sure it it includes the hitch if it does its even better.

I know they will tell us we can't use it because we lack the interface with the computer that tells Nanny we are towing.:sour:

NO!!! Lamont said the hitch can be installed on the '08 and '09 Spyders. That means the trailer will work too. Just can't get the colors to match.

The trailer will be available through Spyder dealers.

There is some talk between dealers and BRP about making primered trailers available. That would be HOT!

I still don't see how we can interface with Nanny. Not that I think we need to.I'm not worried about matching colors I will just call Peter Grant I am sure he can fix me up.

The RT-622 is sold in Full Moon Silver, Orbital Blue and Timeless Black to color-match your Spyder RT. The trailer is priced at $3,999.99 (US) and $4,879.99 (CA).


Pretty good price!

After watching the video it does appear they are mounting to the swingarm.... strange.

I really think BRP has hit this one out of the ballpark!!!

That setup --- an RT with the matching trailer looks REALLY sharp---- they are gonna sell a $%^&ton of these.

Really slick trailer--- wow!

Actually, if so, that "new" design is what MMG has been offering for the Spyder on EBay for the past year. In fact, I have that hitch that attaches to the swing arm and with which I have towed a 300 lb camping trailer (Aspen Sentry) all around New England and the Canadian Maritimes. I have had absolutely NO problems with it, and don't expect any. This is the same hitch that everyone was so quick to dismiss as being "unsafe, poorly designed," etc, etc. without even having seen it. One, I might also add, takes 5 minutes to put on and take off, and one that works perfectly with my Givi bags and I7 frame.
Sorry... I had to vent, but is HAS been a successful design!

I'm glad it's working for you. I'm told that the reason BRP went to a Patent Pending cush type hitch is they did have a problem with the hitch breaking without this additional shock absorber. I still have reservations with this design but they tested all the hitchs on the market and this is the direction they decided to go.

Bottomline is this is the only hitch currently aproved by BRP to be used on the RT.

That does make sense. I will have a look at that hitch.
