Choosing Between a Can-Am Spyder or Ryker

When riders begin looking at BRP’s 3-wheel motorcycle lineup, the most common question is: What is the difference between a Can-Am Spyder and a Ryker? Both offer incredible stability, safety, and an open-air riding experience, but they are built for entirely different types of riders.

The Can-Am Spyder: Built for Touring and Comfort

The Can-Am Spyder (available in F3 and RT trims) is designed for long-distance cruising and maximum comfort. It features a larger, more powerful 1330cc engine, extensive built-in storage, premium audio systems, and advanced touring ergonomics. If you plan on taking cross-country road trips or frequently riding with a passenger, the Spyder is the ultimate choice.

The Can-Am Ryker: Built for Accessible, Urban Fun

The Can-Am Ryker is lighter, lower to the ground, and highly customizable. Featuring a fully automatic twist-and-go transmission (CVT) and an approachable price point, the Ryker is perfect for newer riders, urban commuting, and quick weekend thrills. Make no mistake, the Can-Am Ryker is fast!
