Thoughts on upgrading from 2021 Rally to 2023 Rally - worth it?

[3WheelFred]

One of the dealers near me is offering big discounts on "new" 2023 Ryker Rallys that haven't sold. I've got a 2021 Rally and love it, but they have added new features to the Rally since 2021 that I wish mine had - doing the math based on MSRP prices for accessories from the Can-AM website, there's over $3000 in "upgrades" on the 2023 Rally over my 2021:

- Sand Storm limited edition panel kit ($400)
- KYB adjustable suspension on front wheels ($250??)
- Akrapovic exhaust (at least $1000??)
- Rally rims ($670, but I wouldn't pay for the new rims)
- Grill guard ($210)
- Auxiliary LED light bar in hood ($200?)
- Rally handlebar ($120)
- Glove box lock ($60)
- Air intake pre-filter ($175)
- Rally rear tire Mud flap ($45)
- Rally comfort seat ($330)
- Newer Rally foot pegs ($100??)
- Cruise control ($170, but not available on 2021)

I wouldn't necessarily pay to add all these accessories to my current Rally, but if I could get all of them AND a Rally that's two years newer for less than I paid for my Rally in 2021, is it worth it or a stupid idea? Depending on what I could sell or trade in my 21 Rally for, it might only be $3K - $4k to upgrade. Thoughts???

Don’t sound bad rally to rally. Especially if items not available for current 21 assuming that are going to remove whatever extras have already acquired & can transfer over as well. Good luck (sell/trade with an empty tank) **there’s also the 25 Canyon might want to consider

It all depends on where you ride it. The 2022+ Rally's are far better gravel road machines than the previous editions out of the box. If you only/mainly do sealed roads, then the '21 would be my choice... although I would fit Cruise Control to it.

I do like the looks of the Canyon (so far nobody else I've talked to does!) so I'm thinking about that... but I'm a sucker for green, so of course I'd want the Redrock, and my wallet definitely isn't ready for that!

I heard you can't fit the OEM cruise control to the 21 or earlier b/c the ECU is different. And I don't know if I'd trust the aftermarket options

I had a 2019 Rally; I bought a 2023 - night and day difference! The 2023 is worth buying.

Buy it. Getting 3k in stuff on a new machine, for 3k more. Like a free one!
