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.
So it's called the Ryker!

Piling on with little details...
It's about a foot shorter in length than the F3, and the seat is about 3 inches lower.

this will get even more riders into 3 wheels Y version
I agree, but.......
It seems a no brainer to me to spend the extra $1500 on the 900cc ace vs the 600cc ace.

My first impression: I LIKE IT.
Had to do a bunch of searching but the Can Am site has a build it section that actually works. :bowdown::bowdown:
Three versions available: Rally, 600 cc, 900 cc. You can buy the 600 for $8499.
A lot of color combos available. Some actually "new." The color choices are panels that they charge extra for.
A "passenger" seat can be purchased. Otherwise, It's made for one up driving.
This should rev up the market for BRP and get more people interested. I must compliment BRP. :bowdown::bowdown:
They have added some new colors and offer "dark" and "chrome" versions for the RT. The base model is white only. I like the phoenix orange. :yes:

The RTs are there (including some new colors)...under Touring. https://can-am.brp.com/on-road/spyder/touring.html
on the photo for new colors for 2019 there are three f3 models and a RT... I am thinking it's staying around.

They added a new color to the RT's and check out the wheels.

This is the closest "spyder" to a snowmobile yet. The engine and transmission is pulled directly from the sleds and it wouldn't surprise me if their configuration isn't identical to the sleds. i question how well the cvt belt will hold up to road use. 2-3K miles on a sled belt and its time for a replacement. I also question the 80 hp 900 being able to provide satisfying power. The site says better power to wieght ratio but the Ryker is 800 lbs.
Lots of questions left to answer. I do like it, will need to ride one to know if I would buy one.
My prediction. This is the end of the F3. Next year, maybe the year after the F3 will be replaced with Ryker with 147hp 900 ace turbo with shaft drive, more storage and a better 2up option. I bet it keeps the CVT as well.

Those tires don't look like the stock Kendas we're used to seeing. Maybe BRP is using a new OEM brand?

High End Ryker or Low End F3?
A decked out Ryker Rally 900 ACE gets me close to $14,500 while a lower end F3 or F3-S can be had for $15,000-$20,000 so it's going to come down to the advantages/disadvantages of the two. Personally, I like the 1330 on the F3, but the idea that the Ryker can go on gravel roads intrigues me. Should be some interesting comparisons ahead!

Do you have any intel on how that CVT tranny holds up in the snowmobiles? I know in the auto world, some brands initially had big problems with reliability of their CVTs. And you can rack up a lot more miles on a bike than a snowmobile, so durability may be a challenge.

Thanks folks for the update on the RT. I did not find that section when I looked.
Yes, the RT is still here and I do like that orange color. :bowdown::bowdown:

Doggone if I see any footpegs in any of the pictures of this thing. On the BRP Spyder/Ryker website, you see a picture of this thing and there is a brake pedal that just seems to be out there all by itself. I suppose it's just not visible but still must be awfully small not to show up at all.
Overall this looks like a neat product at a good price, and it's really cool that it has a shaft drive, but it sure is ugly to my eyes. You add the saddlebags and a rear seat to it and it's still ugly. Looks like a Japanese robot. Same is true of the Yamaha Nikken. People buy stuff they are attracted to. I don't predict either this or the Nikken to be huge successes for that reason alone.

The CVT itself on sleds is bullet proof. You have a primary and secondary clutch with a belt between them. The belt wears and needs to be replaced. I say this having ridden no more than 10K miles on a single sled. Belts on sleds need replacement when they blow or typically every 2-3K miles. They are simple to change and cost about $120. I too question how a CVT will hold up on bike over 20, 30, 40K miles? Heat on a CVT is the enemy.
Also, it could cause some issues when needing "instant" power. Its not like you can drop it down a gear and punch it like the semi auto or punch the gas pedal in your car and it drops a gear and accelerates faster. CVT's don't work like that. That said BRP doeshave some of the best CVT clutch setups for sleds.
Also, recomnded oil changes on the 900 ACE in the sleds is 3000 miles. I'd hate to think I'm doing and oil change and belt replacement every 3000 miles.
