Can-am Spyder Rt

Can-am Spyder Rt

The Can-am Spyder Rt has a top speed of 185 km/h, produces 115 hp and weighs 452 kg. Motoryk rates it 7.5/10.

Le Can-Am Spyder RT a été introduit par BRP (Bombardier Recreational Products) en 2010 en tant que variante axée sur le tourisme du roadster Spyder original, qui a fait ses débuts en 2007. Il présente une configuration unique de tricycle inversé (deux roues à l'avant, une à l'arrière) et a été conçu pour offrir un confort sur de longues distances avec des bagages intégrés, un pare-brise et des systèmes de stabilité avancés. Il est devenu célèbre pour attirer les conducteurs qui recherchent des capacités de randonnée sans les exigences d'équilibre d'une moto à deux roues traditionnelle.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir

⚙️

Watch the Belt Drive

The Spyder RT uses a belt drive system that requires inspection every 16,000 miles and replacement around 30,000-40,000 miles. Neglected belts are one of the most common and costly failures reported by owners.

📉

Steep Depreciation Curve

Can-Am Spyders depreciate faster than traditional motorcycles, often losing 30-40% of value within the first three years. This actually works in buyers' favor when purchasing used, offering premium features at significantly reduced prices.

🛡️

Advanced Stability Technology

The RT comes standard with Vehicle Stability System (VSS), traction control, and ABS, making it one of the safest three-wheelers on the market. These systems are particularly valuable for riders transitioning from cars or returning to riding after a long break.

Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion

7.5/10
Idéal pour
Touring riders wanting comfort over traditional riding

"Outstanding touring machine, but only if you're honest about what it is."

$8,000-$18,000 used

Let's be straight — the Spyder RT isn't a motorcycle, it's a three-wheeled touring machine, and you need to make peace with that before handing over your money. Once you do, it's genuinely impressive. The semi-automatic transmission and stability control make long highway slogs surprisingly relaxed, and the luggage capacity rivals a full dresser. Used examples from 2014 onward are worth targeting since Can-Am sorted most of the early electrical gremlins by then. Here's what dealers won't tell you: these things are expensive to maintain. Dealer-only servicing on most items, proprietary tires that cost a fortune, and the belt drive needs strict attention. Budget an extra $1,500 annually just for upkeep. Also check for front suspension wear — it's the Spyder's known weak spot on high-mileage bikes. Pull the service history or walk away. For the right buyer — someone with mobility limitations, a non-riding partner who wants to come along, or just a rider who wants effortless touring — this thing genuinely delivers. Just go in with eyes open.
