Performance & Handling:

Power and Control

The Rotax 998cc V-twin engine delivers crisp acceleration while 7 automotive technologies including ABS, traction control, and semi-automatic transmission put you in control so that your ride is as confident as it is exhilarating.

Power and Performance

With 998cc, the powerful Rotax V-Twin engine delivers crisp acceleration and plenty of torque. Its electronic throttle delivers instant response and optimum fuel economy.

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 anti-lock brakes, traction control, and stability control for confidence taking on the open road.

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.

Easy To Maneuver

The electronically controlled power steering system provides a varying amount of assistance, depending on the speed of the vehicle. So it’s always easy to maneuver and steer.

Positioned For Better Handling

The bike’s unique suspension geometry redirects forces to reduce load on suspension components, minimize body roll during cornering, and maximize tire-to-ground contact. The end result? Tighter turns, more precise handling and a more comfortable ride.
