2019 Can-Am Ryker three-wheeler range
A new Roadster range from the Canadian company, including a 600cc parallel twin LAMS versionBombardier Recreational Products (BRP) has seemingly answered the question that a lot of people have been asking: is the company ever going to release a cheaper, simpler, bare-bones version of its three-wheel roadster genre?
The answer’s now an emphatic yes, with news that the current family of 1330cc-powered Can-Am Spyders will be joined by the much cheaper Can-Am Ryker in 2019, which will include a 600cc model that meets Australia’s LAMS regulations.
The 600cc version will retail for $14,899, while there will be two 900cc models: a standard road-based version for $17,299 and a Rally spec (a first for Can-Am) with longer travel suspension, chunkier tyres and the ability to get some sideways action – something that is impossible on the current Spyders with the conservative stability and traction control systems.
The Rally version will retail for $18,299, with prices on all three models rideaway. Expected delivery in Australia is February 2019.
The cheapest Spyder on sale in Australia at the moment is the RS, which retails for $19,990.

Both the 600 and 900cc versions will be powered by parallel twin Rotax engines; the Austrian brand is a fully owned subsidiary of BRP. The 600cc model will produce 47hp and 47Nm, and the 900cc version will be good for 77hp and 76Nm.
BRP is making the Ryker family as easy as possible to ride, with all three models sporting CVT transmissions – omnipresent technology on Can-Am’s ATV and side-by-side vehicles – and a single foot-actuated brake. Dry weight starts at 270kg for the Ryker 600, which is similar to a big-bore adventure bike.
Suspension travel on the Ryker Rally is 25mm more on the front and rear compared to the road-based models, and it has KYB boingers instead of Sachs.
Fuel capacity on all three machines is 20 litres, and there’s the Can-Am UFit system with allows a wide variety of ergonomic adjustment.
Electronics on all three models include stability and traction control, as well as ABS, hill start control and an anti-theft security system.
