2014 Can-Am Spyder RS Features and Benefits:

Performance and Handling:

Power and performance

With 998cc, the powerful Rotax V-Twin engine delivers crisp acceleration and plenty of torque, which comes in handy on any type of terrain. And the electronic throttle improves fuel economy, which means fewer fill ups.

Responsive and easy

You can choose between the semi-automatic or manual 5-speed transmission, both with reverse. The semi-automatic transmission uses paddle shifting for faster, smoother shifts without a clutch lever or foot shifter. The manual transmission’s fluid motion stems from the 5-speed gearbox created specifically for Can-Am Spyder.

Designed for optimal control

Developed in partnership with BOSCH† and inspired by automotive technologies, the Vehicle Stability System integrates ABS, traction control, and stability control for an incredibly confident ride.

Precision control

Higher-performance brakes specifically designed for Can-Am Spyder from the world leader in braking technology ensure excellent stopping power and consistent performance every time.

Comfort:

More air where you need it

Optimized side panels improve heat management by letting more air inside the vehicle, keeping a cool look.

Convenience:

Take it with you

Keep your gear safe and protected. The Can-Am Spyder’s lockable front storage features 12 gallons (44 L) of watertight space.

Constant protection

The Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.) helps protect the Can-Am Spyder from theft or other unauthorized use. The vehicle will not start unless the rider uses the correct coded electronic key. Your vehicle will be right where you left it.

Instant access to information

State-of-the-art LCD and analogue gauges display all critical information so you can access fuel levels, speed, and more with just a glance.

Style:

Standout looks and enhanced grip

Metallic Silver, twin-spoke wheels and low-profile tires with exclusive treads allow for better road feel and cornering while adding a more striking look.

Protection and sporty look

Protect yourself from wind while enjoying your sporty ride.
