• 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.

Trailers to haul 2015 Spyder RT

I have a 2015 Spyder RT Limited and am looking for an open trailer to haul it on. I have looked at the Ultimate Trailers and think their price is way to high.
I read in the forum that somebody used an Aluma UT10 and I could not find the thread again. I am wondering how this trailer worked out. Looking at the
specs the ramp is only 63" wide and the RT is 61.9" wide according to BRP this seems a little tight to me, also there is wheel stops for the front wheels.
Also does the front nose clear the ramp while loading, I would hate for the nose to hit. I am undecided at this point any help would be great.

Check out TRITON AUT 1064 Aluminum Trailer with Bi-Fold Ramp. Weighs 400 pounds. 64" inside X 120" long.. Mine has hauled 2 wheelers, Tractors, GS and RT's for 8 years. Plenty of clearance for my '15 RT-L. Has EZ Lube hubs.. Low maintenance.

That trailer will need some front 4' panel shield to block the road debri from hitting the Spyder. We used an open trailer to haul a motorcycle to Florida. Used wrapping material to cover the bike--wrapped it really tight. After a few hundred miles the wind tore the wrapping loose--rewrapped it again & after a few more hundred miles the wind tore it loose for the 2nd time.. Wouldn't be that difficult to use plywood to form a U shaped barrier around the front. Craigslist usually has a few slightly used trailers for a decent price. Good Luck.

Thanks for the info I will look that trailer up.

Get a fully enclosed trailer. You will never have to worry about your Spyder. 7X12, with brakes. Always get brakes. Much safer! Aluminum is better. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:
 
I have an Aluma 7210, with the bifold ramp gate.
You can dismount and walk off the back of the trailer.
Have never high centered my Spyder. The ramp has a built in arch to it.
 
I'll second the Aluma 7210 with the bifold ramp, mine has the 24 inch rack set on it, which gives a solid 2 foot rock guard across the front. It's worked well for me.

Spyder Trailer

This is my set, up it's an Aluma 7210. Have towed this many miles with no problems. This was $2,600 but Aluma has since come out with a new line called Aluma Elite price for one of those was $1,995 didn't see any difference.0604171005 (002).jpg

I have the Triton Buckboard option. NO ROAD DEBRIS ! Pulled through Road construction gravel, Mud, Rain, Snow, and Sleet. No dings :yes:
 
Trailer

I bought the Droptail trailer for mine and couldn't be happier with it. It's light enough to move around, I can use for anything and it stores standing up so it is a small footprint and the price was right.
:cheers:

I have this trailer and love it.

 
I looked up the trailer and the rock shield for that trailer looks like it is pretty low. It doesn't look like it would give much protection.

Love our enclosed trailer

Have seen people attempt about every way to cover or protect a sled in the winter. Most end up with damage from the cover material itself.
 
Enclosed V-Nose Trailer

I have an enclosed 7X10 V-Nose trailer that is great. It is perfect for hauling the Spyder.20160812_192218.jpg20160823_192757.jpg It also has electric brakes and I have since put shelving in for helmets and jackets.
