2020 Can-Am Ryker 900 vs 2020 Can-Am Spyder Head to head

The ryker steering is heavy and needs power steering.

I purchased a 2020 Ryker 900; with accessories; a 10x12 lofted barn shed; and insurance paid in full for under the price of a 2020/2021 Spyder f3

The Ryker does have ABS brakes. I own a 900 and it most def. has them.

So I saw the Ryker won both races but he keep saying the Spyder would have won if… 😂

I'm not sure what it is you're trying to compare here. Both machines come from the same manufacturer and both have 3 wheels but that's about all they have in common. The Ryker comes in 600 and 900 displacement where as all Spyders now are 1330 triple - engine size of course will affect any test or comparison. The Rykers as I understand all use a CVT where as, again as I understand, all Spyders now come with a dual clutch paddle shifter which automatically downshifts when you close the throttle but needs to be manually up-shifted. Weight of the vehicle would be a factor as well a 1330 engine is going to make for a much heavier machine than the 900. I'm not aware as to all the electronic safety features of the Ryker but the Spyders have a full suite of acronyms of ABS, Traction Control and so on. Finally I hate to sound like the safety police, but riding either machine one handed whilst holding a camera and not wearing gloves, or boots and in shorts is a personal choice but a recipe for an accident and since you're hoping others including new and inexperienced riders will watch your videos poor behaviour to model. I accept that everyone who rides is responsible for their own safety gear and laws vary from state to state and nation to nation but those of us in the 'riding community' who make and share videos or us riding and testing bikes have a role to play in teaching and demonstrating safe and proper riding behaviour.

Good video, nice to see them compared side by side. Helpful.

I love the ALL black spider!

Finally thanks guys

Yes it does have abs breaks the 900 and it has brembo break pads

Couple suggestions, invest in a gopro mount and watch Top Gear to better your skills at talking about vehicle specs that will keep people interested!

ABS dosent necessarily apply only to brembo brakes ABS stands for anti lock brakes it's a system which electronically controls the brakes to prevent you from “locking” up your brakes, or applying so much pressure to your brakes that the axle and your wheels themselves stop turning completely. Upgraded brembo brakes isn't a necessity in order to have ABS. And yes all Ryker models came standard with ABS.

Hello! Trying to race a SPYDER against any other vehicle requires the use of two hands. Holding a camera in one hand and a single handlebar side of a SPYDER with the other hand and trying to drive, and especially racing, is a recipe for disaster. You apparently did not turn the throttle all the way up on that SPYDER when that so-called race took place. The CAN AM SPYDER F3S and the regular F3's are absolute beasts. The race you conducted was rather short.

Power to weight on the Ryker is .125 on the spider f3 it’s .116. For about 6k less and a little more nimble and sporty I’d rather the Ryker. I’ve been riding 2 wheel bike for a long time. If the day ever came where I needed a 3 wheeler then the Ryker would be the closest thing. The spyder just seems more like a 3 wheel atv or small car to me

Ryker has ABS brakes and VSS (vehicle stability system) just like all Spyder :) This is standard equipment.

Love the looks of a Ryker, the spyder is so so.

The Ryker has abs, traction control, electronic stability system, and all wheel electric breaking system with disk breaks. The Ryker you sit in the bike. The spider you sit on the bike. The Ryker was built to be lighter and safer. The spider is chain driven and the Ryker is direct drive shaft.

You install a Monster or Dynojet tune on the Spyder...AND... for extra fun...add a pedal commander to boot..that Ryker is toast!!

WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED ON THE 2020 RYKER AND TOP SPEED FOR 2020 SPYDER?

The European rykers have a torque limiter from 0 to 50 mph but once you turn that off they do 60 mph in 4.5 seconds...the same as a 115bhp F3S.....I’ve recorded 4.5 seconds on my ryker rallye via gps...the 900 ryker has the highest power to weight ratio of all the new can am models....hence there the quickest,maybe not top speed cos there limited to 105mph but this can also be increased. Plus the all have ABS even the 600 models plus traction control and VSS all onboard

How do they cruise. 65. Smooth or buzzy. Tnx
