Three’s Got Company

The 2010 Can-Am Spyder roadster line-up now includes an all new touring model, the Spyder RT. “The Can-Am Spyder RS is already a resounding market success, although, clearly, its full growth potential is only beginning to materialize,” said Yves Leduc, Vice-President and General Manager, Can-Am Division. “We are delivering the expansion of our Can-Am Spyder roadster lineup, as promised at its launch in 2007, and we believe the announcement of the Spyder RT will even further accelerate the momentum experienced thus far.”

The Can-Am Spyder RT, powered by a Rotax 991 engine with Electronic Throttle Control optimized for touring, stays true to the brand’s promise to deliver an exceptional balance of performance and peace of mind. The roadster features the acclaimed Bosch-engineered Vehicle Stability System (VSS) found in the RS roadster. The VSS, coupled with the inherent stability of the roadster’s ‘Y-architecture’ and overall ease of use reinvents riding for enthusiasts of all skill levels. BRP is also introducing an optional RT622 trailer package, providing an additional 622
liters (22 cu. ft) of storage. This industry-first accessory is designed specifically for the Spyder RT and is compatible with the vehicle’s stability system.

“The introduction of the Can-Am Spyder RT now provides options for sport and touring enthusiasts alike,” said Chris Dawson, Vice-President and General Manager of the International Division. “The new platform goes well with what touring riders demand and there is no doubt in my mind the Can-Am Spyder RT is going to forever change the touring motorcycle category.”
