BRP introduces the new Can-Am Spyder RT roadster in response to specific consumer demand for a touring platform. The 2010 Can-Am Spyder roadster line-up now includes the Spyder RS (roadster sport) and the Spyder RT (roadster touring) models.
The introduction of the touring model coincides with a
substantial gain in market presence on the heels of strong consumer demand
since the roadster’s launch more than two years ago. Driven by a passionate
owner community, the innovative three-wheel concept has become a global
phenomenon in more than 50 countries to-date with authorized BRP dealers.
“The Can-Am Spyder RS is already a resounding market
success, although, clearly, its full growth potential is only beginning to
materialize,” said Yves Leduc, vice-president - general manager Can-Am and
After Sales Operations, responsible for North American Sales & Marketing.
”We are delivering the expansion of our Can-Am Spyder roadster line-up as
promised at its launch in 2007 and we believe the announcement of the Spyder RT
will even further accelerate the momentum experienced thus far.”
The Can-Am Spyder RT roadster powered by a Rotax 991
engine with Electronic Throttle Control optimized for touring stays true to the
brand’s promise to deliver a perfect balance of performance and peace of mind.
The roadster features the same acclaimed BOSCH-engineered Vehicle Stability
System (VSS) as found in the Spyder RS roadster, which includes Anti-lock
Brakes, Traction Control and Stability Control systems. The VSS, coupled with
the inherent stability of the roadster’s ‘Y-architecture’ and overall ease of
use reinvents riding for enthusiasts of all skill levels.
BRP is also introducing an industry-first optional RT622
trailer package*, providing an additional 622 litres (22 cu. ft) of storage,
designed specifically for the Spyder RT roadster and compatible with the
vehicle’s stability system.
