So far the best review on the Ryker! Thanks brother ! Me and the wife are looking into buying a Ryker Sport soon. I currently own a 2005 Hayabusa and a 2019 Harley Road Glide. The wife is digging the 3 wheeler and a happy wife means a happy life . A Ryker might soon find a new home in our garage 👍
Awesome Rich!! Thanks for the kind words. I am also coming off a Hayabusa and have owned a few Harleys as well. Had an unfortunate Busa vs moose incident 2 years ago but lucky enough to ride another day. My wife is also digging 3 wheels. Good luck with the new purchase and hope you and the mrs get to enjoy riding together. Cheers 🍻
I rarely comment on videos, but the is by far one of the best reviews I have seen on the Ryker! I have been trying to pull the trigger and this just sent me over the edge. Thanks for sharing.
Your review was spot on! I have a 2021 Rally and I really like it. So many reviews out there are more about pimping out the bike rather than what’s really like to drive one.
I've had my Ryker Sport now for about a month (new rider) and I've already put about 700 miles on it. Love it! Always look forward to riding in. Love the rims that come with it. This Ryker gets lots of looks and compliments. Neighborhood kids call it the batman bike lol
I've had my Sport for about a month and absolutely love it. You did an excellent job explaining what a Sport is and the difference between it and a Rally.
I just signed up for the MSF class next month and have never rode. After all the research this seems like the safest option for me to ride with friends who have all been trying to get me to get a bike. Your review does give me a better idea with what model I may end up getting.
That is great Taylor!! Awesome to hear that you are taking the course and getting out on the road. Start with what you feel comfortable with as you can always upgrade at a later date when you get more comfortable. Enjoy the course and ride safe 🤘🏽
Great Soundtrack, Bro…a very accurate description when saying it is like a snow mobile on the road…saw this before I bought mine and that description alone really helped make the decision a lot easier
Best Ryker video I’ve seen so far!! Looked at both the Ryker and Spyder today. Used to rife on 2, but not for a long time. These look like great fun! Thx👍
Good review CP on this ryker , I just recently bought a new leftover 2023 ryker 900 ace here in Ohio usa , My dealer is now calling the ryker a roadster which i find pretty cool it needs its own category , Been a HD guy my whole life but being stupid i fell off a ladder and broke my hand in a bad way lol , I havent ridden mine yet just on and off the trailer its way to cold yet but it will get me out on the road again and im super excited , Good video once again and subd !
@@kellywilson8440 Thanks Kelly. Roadster, I like that!! You’ll love the Ryker. It’s definitely a different ride than 2 wheels but loads of fun in its own way. Thanks for the sub. Enjoy and ride safe! 🤘🏽
A bicycle has two wheels, a tricycle has three wheels, they are both cycles. Same applies when you add a motor to your cycle. A two wheel motorcycle is called a motor-bike and a three wheeled motorcycle is called a motor-trike, but they are both motorcycles. And they are both fun to ride. That's my take on this whole "that's not a motorcycle cuz three wheels" debate. Ride what ya like, have fun and stay safe!
Bought used 22 sport😢 for $8500 usd today, 250 miles on it with lots of expensive upgrades. Mtx sound system/dash, wind guard, hand guards, hand wind guards, performance exhaust and led eyebrow headlights. That's all so far I can tell is added. Think I got a great deal.
Just put down a down payment on a new ryker sport. Very informative video. I currently own a Honda PCX 150 scooter, and it's nice to know the difference between the vehicles. Especially the driving and riding experience. But the features are very cool as well.
Great review! My son has a 2020 900 Rally and I'm thinking about getting a Ryker myself due to low back issues which have caused drop foot for me. I'm glad to hear the 2022 models have electronic cruise control, but like you, I wish they also offered a hand brake.
Thanks for the kind words Tony! You won’t regret it. The electronic cruise is one of my favourite features about the 22 Rykers. Good luck with the purchase and enjoy the ride 🤙🏽
Can-Am offers a few windshields in multiple heights in their accessories catalog. There are also a few options in the aftermarket world. Check out a few of my other videos as I have an adjustable sport windshield mounted. Cheers
Hi I just bought myself a can-am Ryker , I had a major truck accident in 2018 and lost a leg above the knee so I looked around to see what would cost to get a motorbike modified and I decided that the can-am what’s the best deal that I can come up with the only modification and I had to do was to take a break from the right side to the left side which an engineer has already done, Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Great review! And music (I listen to all these artists.) I had a question about the cruise control on the sport. when you throttle up to say 35 miles an hour and you wanna lock in the cruise control, do you just press the button once and then you’re locked in? What takes you out of cruise control? throttling up more? Braking?
Thank you for the kind words 🤘🏽 Pressing the cruise control button will enable cruise control. Press again to set once you’re at your desired speed. To take it out of cruise you can either press the button to disengage cruise or hit the brake pedal. You will need to reset once back to your desired speed if cruise has been disengaged. Hope this helps
@@canuckpowersportstysm for your reply. So then it’s like when you use it in your car, pressing it once, then pressing it again to set it. Okay - good to know. Ty again.
With the Linq attachment on the rear you can carry fuel or luggage. I believe that there are 2 different size gas can available. One is around 10L and the other is the stackable can (in the video) that I can squeeze about 17L in.
Same here I stuck between the two.i had a concourse 14 Kawasaki and I wanted the wife to ride with me.but it was just to bike of a bike on two wheels for touring if she wanted to drive/ride so this Can-Am or two of them would be perfect for us. And she can have her own
I’m looking into getting rid of my sports bike and getting a Ryker. I’m missing my left leg below the knee and ride with an electric shifter. But, I want something with a little more comfort for longer rides.
You’ll have zero issues riding with the CVT transmission. As far as comfort goes… If you’re planning on long days in the saddle or multi-day trips, I’d invest in a comfort seat and windshield. The electronic cruise control on some models is also a nice feature. Good luck with the purchase and ride safe! 🤘🏽
Be nice to hear a little bit about the power/acceleration. I guess when you get old you don't care about that. Some people. Let me see..maybe one of those other reviews....
@@johnhand871 ruclips.net/video/C3dGjEKAPE8/видео.htmlsi=0oO9OAhY_gzJ9AHB Check out our other video at 4:08 as I discuss some of the power and acceleration of the Ryker
I’m sure there are a few big Can-Am dealerships around the Montreal area. The 2023’s are slated to be announced soon I believe. If you can’t find a 2022 or a used one maybe talk to your local dealership about getting on a list? I ordered mine shortly after the New Year and took delivery in May. Might have to wait or be willing to travel to find one. It sucks, but unfortunately the only option right now. Good luck with your search and hopefully you’ll be able to pick one up soon 🤙🏽
You can buy a 2-up seat for them. It would be ok for around town riding or a day trip IMO but if planning longer or multi-day trips you may want to look at something like the Spyder specifically for comfort reasons. I’m sure people have done it on a Ryker tho. Just my $.02
It’s unfortunately everywhere and I 100% get where you are coming from. Getting a Ryker to do a few trips out of the city may be option for some. Either way, stay safe out there!
About to pull the trigger on 2 sports for the wife and I we’re too excited was gonna do the 600 because I’ve never road fast bikes but screw that 900 all day I’m use to fast cars anyway but I know it will be a different experience
You’ll be glad that you went with the 900 when you get out on open roads or on the highway. It’s a pretty easy learning curve so you’ll both be fine. Enjoy the new Rykers!! Ride safe 🤘🏽
These are interesting vehicles. I don't really want one, but I would like to ride one. I have always thought they looked like a snowmobile converted into a bike. I don't really have the room for one though. Nice review.
You could definitely use the Ryker as a daily rider or commuter vehicle. If you have a long commute you can always think of upgrading to a Spyder if looking for more comfort on the long hauls.
It's a trike plain and simple, not a reverse trike, simply a trike. Trike = 3 wheels, Motorcycle = 2 wheels. No matter what the government says this is not a motorcycle. Is it fun? OH HECK YEAH! It's just a different kind of fun. Almost no learning curve to riding a Ryker at normal speeds. Pressing opposite leg into foot peg makes aggressive turns a piece of cake. Never having to worry about stopping and accelerating on wet surfaces is priceless. Also a little sand or rocks in road during tight turn is way less likely to ruin your day.😀
I'm looking for something that is cheaper and could be a first time bike/3 wheeler and I was wondering if something like this could be good. Also would you recommend it for city use or for more open roads?
As a first bike, the Ryker would be a great option. If you’re looking to keep within a cheaper budget a used 600 may be the route to go. I’ve found that insurance is reasonable compared to getting on a sport bike for instance as a new rider. I enjoy riding open roads but that is just my preference. I know a lot of people that commute and ride in the city without issues. Good luck finding the right bike for you! Ride safe 🤘🏽
I personally never rode with a passenger. From what I’ve heard, it would be great around town but not ideal if doing longer trips. If looking to tour long distances it may be ideal to upgrade to a Spyder. Just what I’ve heard so take it for what it’s worth.
Yes it most definitely would be a great starter bike. There are only 2 things needed to operate the bike. The throttle which is your right hand and the brake pedal which is operated by your right foot. The benefits of the Ryker are… not having to hold the bike up when stopped, no shifting gears and not having to worry about sliding out if you hit sand in a corner. More of your riding is focused on what is on the road and you’re not having to worry about all the little things as a new rider. Good luck with your purchase whichever way you choose to go. Ride safe!!🤘🏽
@@canuckpowersports I am just afraid that I would hit the gas and crash. So I was learning how to ride a grom and somehow hit the gas without knowing and the grom hit one of those yellow poles and my body wrapped around the other pole. I did not know I hit the pole until my friends told me like a minute or two later, I was able to just get up after but I was limping a little. (Anyways that is what I am afraid of, making the mistake of hitting the gas and not being able to stop it without crashing.)
@@ScoobyDooSnakz There are 3 wheel courses that you can take and they will start you off by teaching you all the basics. A course may be your best bet to regain your confidence. Glad that you weren’t seriously hurt in your crash.
Ok. Im new to riding. I want a can am. Choosing the right one is my thing. Im 5'10 230 lbs. Will a ryker be a bit small for me? I also like maybe doing a 2 up ability for it. What do you think? Or should I go up 1 to the f3. Yes price is a thing because Id also like some lee way for upgrades.. sorry but I really need some help choosing.. I dont want to look weird on a small bike. But again Im only 5'10 - 230 lbs roughly
I am the same build and it fits me fine. Having the adjustability in the pegs and bars helps. You’ll be ok on the Ryker 🤙🏽 2up could be tight but still doable. If planning on doing a lot of 2 up riding I would step up to a bigger bike IMO. If just running around town with a passenger, you’ll be fine. Go with the 900. You’ll be glad that you did.
Errands to town or 2 up for an hour ride, Ryker 900 (payload approx. 400 lbs) will be fine. If you want more than these, checkout the Spyder F3s (the cheaperr Spyder) Also, if you're thinking of the Ryker 900, research all the add-ons to get for your needs. Before you know it, you'll be approaching the Spyder F3 entry level cost. e.g.: adding a passenger seat with backrest to the Ryker and upgrading your sway bar will already set you back 500 to 600 dollars. It's easy to get carried 1000s $ away with the options the Ryker has, talking about a friend. LOL. May you find your "ride".
@@canuckpowersports already have a test ride scheduled through the Can Am site with a dealer in my area and picked mine out already. $10.6K with the 900 CC engine.
Good review, could do without the background music (would actually like to hear the startup and how it drives). But neat and something to consider in this price range.
It can definitely be done but you’ll want to set it up with a few accessories to make yourself more comfortable. ie windshield, comfort seat etc. If looking to go on extended tours you may want to consider stepping into a Spyder. I’ll be releasing a video soon about setting up a Ryker for those looking to put on high miles, so be sure to watch for it. I’ve done a few 400 mile days and had zero issues.
So far it has been great. I’ll be doing a 2500km (1500 mile) review shortly. I have heard that others have had issues but like any machine it will at some point. Regular maintenance will help prevent premature breakdowns but luckily I’ve been ok in that department so far. Time will tell
The Shaft drive is what sold me to the Ryker. Most minor probs you'll be able to handle on your own even on the road. I'm almost near my 4,000 km check and no probs so far.
I have done over 250,000 miles on two-wheeled motorcycles. But I now have a Can-Am Spyder F3-S. It's fantastic. I still have a KTM 390 Duke and a Yamaha Aerox 155 scooter. Informative video.
The Ryker is an entry level model into the 3 wheel Can-Am world. There is a $7k difference between the top Ryker model and the F3 here in Canada. Maybe another “loaded” Ryker model to fill that gap would be awesome which would include a better display and maybe a turbo engine. Just my $.02 🤙🏽
You need a motorcycle or 3 wheel endorsement to ride here in Canada. Can-am offers a 3 wheel course, which upon completion will allow you to ride a 3 wheeler. Some States may have different rules so good to check with your local DMV for license requirements.
I was dodging some rough road sections in the video but it does drift a little bit at highway speeds. I’m use to it now but will be adding an aftermarket sway bar and end links which will hopefully eliminate that issue
Hey Ethan. It all depends on many factors such as age, driving record, geographical location, insurance company you use etc. I am paying slightly less than I did compared to my Harley and A LOT less than my Hayabusa. I am paying about $55/mo here in Ontario, Canada. Your best bet is to call around for quotes or bundle insurance with your house, car…
@@canuckpowersports You sound very intelligent , you should seriously look into becoming an automotive journalist. This RUclips from start to finish was done in a very professional manner. It seem like a team of editors got together to make this video.
@@minpinracing8462 I enjoyed putting this video together and really surprised about the response that it has gotten so far. I have done some writing for Powersports magazines in the past and learning more about video editing as I go. Having fun is what it is all about!! You never know where it may take you. Thank you for the kind words 🤙🏽
In Ontario Canada you need a 3 wheel endorsement course or a motorcycle licence to operate the vehicle. Each State may have different laws so check with your local motor vehicle department for what is required. Helmet laws may also differ from State to State.
I guess a turbo version would be pretty good. But you can have them mapped and they go like stink. Also, could you imagine what a 3x3 Ryker would be like????!!! Could that even be possible?
Great points! I talk more about a turbo engines in my latest review. Precision EFI has a turbo kit for the Ryker. An all wheel drive would be interesting but not sure about handling characteristics.
If you have long legs, the U-fit system won't fit. I have a 36" inseam and a Ryker leaves me with my Knees in a bod position for too long. Spyder > Ryker for any tall person. Also there is not plenty of room in the Frunk. you will find its just not big enough for most things you want in there minus Keys, wallet and water bottle.
So it's NOT a motorcycle?...... 🤔 but then just a moment later you say "let's take a quick walk around the bike." Edit: 20 seconds later you call it a bike again😂..... and less than 10 seconds after that. A couple of other "bike" mentions later, as well. I think you have it backwards..... it IS a motorcycle (@SquidzitAce breaks this down well), but it's NOT a bike (clearly a trike). I bet a number of Harley TriGlide owners take umbrage with the "three wheels is not a motorcycle" take on it. But whatever..... As for your review.... you did a very good job covering many important points. Ill give you 👍👍.
Not calling it a motorcycle has been a hot topic on this video. Whatever you call it, it is a blast to ride. We also call ATV’s bikes here north of the border. Maybe it’s just our slang. No doot aboot it!
@@canuckpowersports 😀 yes, Canadians are not the same as even northern Americans (I'm from MN). I love hearing the "oo"s when watching you guys on YT or talking to you at truck stops and customers (trucker here). All is good 👍.
The 2022 Ryker Sport and I believe the 2022 Rally has electronic cruise control as a standard feature. It is located on the left handlebar and can be engaged at >35 km/h. Push the button to activate, press again to set the cruise. To disengage, press the button again or step on the brake pedal.
Great video but someone posted that cams has engine issues and that he wouldn't recommend it because the quality control of these vehicles are so sub standard.
I guess with any vehicle there will be some that have issues. I haven’t had any as of yet with the Ryker but will be doing reviews as I pile on the miles. I’ve had vehicles with 100k kms on them and they have run flawless. On the other hand, I have owned vehicles that were constantly needing maintenance and reliability was sub par. Time will tell…
Its not derogatory to suggest its not a motorcyle. I mean its not but why would it want to be. Its it's own vehicle worthy of its own identity. I Own a goldwing but i'd love one of these.
I live in the USA and have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years. In the USA we have a goverment agency that handles all thing traffic safety called the NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION ( NHSTA) and is part of the much larger U.S. Department of transportation ( DOT) that handles all things traffic investigation, road gear grading/testing and vehicle nomenclature and definition and based on THEIR definition of a motorcycle it is a motorcycle, additionally, We have state level agencies called the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and when you go to register it it will be registered as a motorcycle not whatever you were calling it or think it is. I respect your motorcycle experience as I'm sure you will respect mine but in my "opinion" it is a motorcycle just not a traditional motorcycle and my country's government will apparently back me up on that. For the life of me I cannot figure out why people get so anal about is it a "motorcycle" or not. If you put planes underneath a boat and it can now skim over the water it is a boat, if you have a car with 5 wheels powered by gamma rays it is a car but there is noooo way a open air vehicle with three wheels in which you sit over the engine and is steered thru the use of handle bars and has completely handling and riding dynamics could not possible be a motorcycle because you can't lean it in curves? One does not balance it? You don't use a clutch and traditional gear shifter? When and who said THOSE things define a motorcycle because it sure as hell isn't in the literal definition of the same. Take care.
Physics are going to make electric motorcycles very unlikely to satisfy. This form factor can be a much better platform for EV evolution. I hope they get serious about this.
It all depends on what someone is looking for to get them out on the road. The Rykers ride differently than a 2 wheeler, but they also add stability for someone who isn’t able to ride a motorcycle. The video covers your questions in a few different areas. Hope this helps!
It's the same bike as a 2019 Rally with different rims & tires and a cruise control along with a frunk lock. Why the 2022's have no chip in the key is unacceptable. Anybody's key starts the bike. 😊
It is Not Really the same as the 2019 Rally. My wife and I own 2019 Rallies and my Boss just got a 22 sport a few weeks ago. Ours also has different suspension and Rally Mode including the things you mentioned and a different rear fender. Wasn't aware of the No Chip key 🤔 Might have to steal my bosses to go to lunch soon 🤣😂👍
@@jamesglenn520 Mechanically it's the same bike. The motor and drive train are the same. The frame is the same. The brakes are the same. The whole bike feels the same. I know it has an adjustable suspension and some cosmetic changes. My 2019 is heavily modified; including Elka suspension. So those cosmetic changes mean nothing to me. The bike is overall the same. It just has a price tag that does not make it a bargain like my 2019 was. The price is closer to the F3 now. And if I was considering an F3. I would just buy a base Slingshot.
@@anthonyhulse1248 I know why the problem exists. It still doesn't take away the fact. Can Am made the decision to still sell the bike without a chip in the key. My 2019 as well as any other key can start the 2022 model. And it can be stolen more easily. Oh I forgot; Can Am did acknowledge the bike not having a chip in the key. By putting a parking brake lock on the bike as standard equipment (that can easily be defeated with a screwdriver). Also the parking brake should have been included on all Rykers; since day one of production. And not only the Canadian models. I research everything. 😊
Took one for a test drive because the dealer didn't have any spyders in (shortage) I absolutely loved it, I was like "🥱 whatever a ryker" that feeling quickly went away. I ended up putting a deposit down for a 22 RT Limited Spyder. If 900cc was that amazing, I can just imagine what 1330 will be
@@canuckpowersports the Spyder is in, BUT missing the park break module and reverse module, soooo now it's a waiting game for the parts.. seems like BRP supplies the US 1st and Canada last
@@canuckpowersports I'm gonna call them on Monday and inquire, I may have no choice but to go to Rockys in London to look at the Freewheeler 🤷 it's getting frustrating now 🤣 I know it's not the dealer but
I’m assuming that you are riding a Spyder, not a Ryker??? The Ryker does not have power steering. Just like any toy, maintenance can get expensive if you aren’t willing to do the work yourself. I can buy a Ryker oil change kit for just over $100 CDN and get it done in less than an hour to save a few $’s. There are a few great RUclips videos out there to walk you through some of the basic maintenance. Some common tools and a little bit of mechanical knowledge can make the world of a difference. Good luck with your bike. I hope that you get everything sorted out. Ride safe 🤙🏽
Yes it’s a spyder, I will look to see if I can find anything, as I do love it and use it, just frustrating with only now 400 miles and it’s going out. And Can am and dealership don’t care.
@@robbierob2442 I get your frustration and I would be feeling the same. Hopefully that is the end of your issues. Having a good dealership can make or break your experience. Keep me posted on how you make out. Good luck!
@@canuckpowersports Traded it in, had more issues after the power steering, brakes were heating up. Thank you , but not for me even though I did enjoy the ride but not worth all the problems with only 400 miles on it. Good luck to all, but CanAm is definitely not for me
Good point! But this is not a "Can Am problem", I used to own a Yamaha MT09 and that was awful on the road! Upgrade was a must and this meant more money out. I'm sure this was on purpose from Yamaha. Before the MT09 I owned a Triump Street Triple and it was a world apart from the MT09. The Street Triple was great and so much fun riding it. Now that I know the MT09 was a big mistake, shouldn't have sold the Street Triple for the MT09. But I've been in a serious accident 16 month ago (nothing to do with motorcycles) and are now in a wheelchair for life (broke my spine clean of). This is why I have started to look at Can Am:s both Spyder and Ryker... future will tell. As for now the Ryker feels the best. Hi from Sweden!👍
It is like anything else I suppose. All depends on what type of ride you’re looking for. I have altered or changed the suspension components on pretty much every toy that I’ve owned. If looking to cruise around town or don’t ride aggressively, stock form will suit you well. If you are looking to push the bike harder, then upgrades are almost always necessary. Can-Am did do what they could to make the Ryker suitable for “most riders” by adding adjustability to pegs, handlebars, windshields etc. I set up my vehicles for how I ride. With that being said… I’ve had buddies jump on my bike or snowmobile and they hate how it’s set up because it is dialled in for my riding style. To each their own 🤷🏻
I would not be in a big rush to change the suspension to fix the handling issue. My wife and I both have had our Rallies since spring 2019. We had 2wheels beforehand. We both found that 90+% of the handling issues were Rider Impute 👌 Different animal Different feel 😲 Put some miles on it and just relax Don't death grip the bars and be Mideful of over steer. It is very touchy and a little bit of input will have you all over the road. Ours are all stock suspension and we can cruise down the highway 60-80mph with one hand 👌👍
well, you don't have to modify the suspension. Most people who modify the suspension do so because they are not used to the buffeting you get riding on a highway on a motorbike. If you come from a motorbike, the Ryker is rock solid by comparison.
So, agree to it or not, it’s a motorcycle. A trike. No need to look down on it because it has an extra wheel, and a snowmobile can’t ride on a road, so not a fair comparison. Some of us want to ride but can’t on 2 wheels for a number of reasons, and we shouldn’t miss out on all the fun just because it has that third wheel, or ppl looking down on us. Ridiculous. Sorry, I’m just sick of the snubs when ppl aren’t making my bike pmts.
Everyone has their own views about 3 wheels. I’m not looking down at it because I really enjoy my Ryker! As a snowmobiler myself, it rides more like a snowmobile than a motorcycle due to the fact that it rides “flat” IMO. I love the Ryker the more I ride it which is why I own one. It doesn’t matter what you ride or what category you decide to put 3 wheelers in, as long as you enjoy riding! The video is my own thoughts and no matter what anyone has to say there will always be people who agree or disagree with one’s opinion. Ride safe and I hope you enjoy 3 wheels as much as I do 🤙🏽
So far the best review on the Ryker! Thanks brother ! Me and the wife are looking into buying a Ryker Sport soon. I currently own a 2005 Hayabusa and a 2019 Harley Road Glide. The wife is digging the 3 wheeler and a happy wife means a happy life . A Ryker might soon find a new home in our garage 👍
Awesome Rich!! Thanks for the kind words. I am also coming off a Hayabusa and have owned a few Harleys as well. Had an unfortunate Busa vs moose incident 2 years ago but lucky enough to ride another day. My wife is also digging 3 wheels. Good luck with the new purchase and hope you and the mrs get to enjoy riding together. Cheers 🍻

Awesome Mark!!! Keep packing on those miles 🤙🏽
I've had my Sport for about a month and absolutely love it. You did an excellent job explaining what a Sport is and the difference between it and a Rally.
Thanks Rod, greatly appreciated!! I look forward to riding the Ryker every chance I get. Enjoy your new ride and hope to catch ya on the road one day.
I just signed up for the MSF class next month and have never rode. After all the research this seems like the safest option for me to ride with friends who have all been trying to get me to get a bike. Your review does give me a better idea with what model I may end up getting.
That is great Taylor!! Awesome to hear that you are taking the course and getting out on the road. Start with what you feel comfortable with as you can always upgrade at a later date when you get more comfortable. Enjoy the course and ride safe 🤘🏽

A bicycle has two wheels, a tricycle has three wheels, they are both cycles. Same applies when you add a motor to your cycle. A two wheel motorcycle is called a motor-bike and a three wheeled motorcycle is called a motor-trike, but they are both motorcycles. And they are both fun to ride. That's my take on this whole "that's not a motorcycle cuz three wheels" debate. Ride what ya like, have fun and stay safe!
Great video! Even better music in the background.
Cheers Clint 🤘🏽
Bought used 22 sport😢 for $8500 usd today, 250 miles on it with lots of expensive upgrades. Mtx sound system/dash, wind guard, hand guards, hand wind guards, performance exhaust and led eyebrow headlights. That's all so far I can tell is added. Think I got a great deal.
I’d say you did pretty well. Enjoy the ride 🤙🏽
Just put down a down payment on a new ryker sport. Very informative video. I currently own a Honda PCX 150 scooter, and it's nice to know the difference between the vehicles. Especially the driving and riding experience. But the features are very cool as well.
Congrats Dave! You’ll love the Ryker. Hopefully it will arrive for you soon. 🤙🏽
Seems like a game changer for people with short legs
Great review! My son has a 2020 900 Rally and I'm thinking about getting a Ryker myself due to low back issues which have caused drop foot for me. I'm glad to hear the 2022 models have electronic cruise control, but like you, I wish they also offered a hand brake.
Thanks for the kind words Tony! You won’t regret it. The electronic cruise is one of my favourite features about the 22 Rykers. Good luck with the purchase and enjoy the ride 🤙🏽
Thank you for this video. I'm definitely looking to buy one of these in the future
Thanks Chris. Good luck with the purchase and ride safe 🤙🏽
Excellent video and you covered all the basis very well. Been thinking about buying and this video helped
Great to hear Ed. Glad that we could help. Good luck with your purchase 👍🏽
Is there any way to mount a windshield on it?
Can-Am offers a few windshields in multiple heights in their accessories catalog. There are also a few options in the aftermarket world. Check out a few of my other videos as I have an adjustable sport windshield mounted. Cheers
Great review much better than anyone else
Thanks Heath! Appreciate your feedback 👍🏽
Hi I just bought myself a can-am Ryker , I had a major truck accident in 2018 and lost a leg above the knee so I looked around to see what would cost to get a motorbike modified and I decided that the can-am what’s the best deal that I can come up with the only modification and I had to do was to take a break from the right side to the left side which an engineer has already done, Cliff from Logan City Queensland Australia
Great to hear that you have made a recovery and back out riding!! There is no better feeling than being on the open road. Ride safe 🤙🏽
Thanks for the review!
As a person with a disability I enjoyed riding motorcycles before my disability. I definitely want one of these
That’s great John. Good luck shopping for your ride. You’ll definitely enjoy it 🤙🏽
Great review man just put my down payment down today will be picking up my 22 sport next Saturday
That’s awesome!! Congrats and enjoy the new ride 🤘🏽
Great review strongly considering
Great review! And music (I listen to all these artists.)
I had a question about the cruise control on the sport. when you throttle up to say 35 miles an hour and you wanna lock in the cruise control, do you just press the button once and then you’re locked in?
What takes you out of cruise control? throttling up more? Braking?
Thank you for the kind words 🤘🏽 Pressing the cruise control button will enable cruise control. Press again to set once you’re at your desired speed.
To take it out of cruise you can either press the button to disengage cruise or hit the brake pedal.
You will need to reset once back to your desired speed if cruise has been disengaged. Hope this helps
@@canuckpowersportstysm for your reply. So then it’s like when you use it in your car, pressing it once, then pressing it again to set it. Okay - good to know. Ty again.
I like the music you got in there. . Nas is like
Picking up one next weekend in San Antonio
Awesome!! You’ll love it! Congrats on the new bike. Ride safe!!
I was wondering if there was a gas can attachment!
With the Linq attachment on the rear you can carry fuel or luggage. I believe that there are 2 different size gas can available. One is around 10L and the other is the stackable can (in the video) that I can squeeze about 17L in.
Your music selection is excellent! Love old school hip hop. Planning on buying a ryker I'm torn between the rally and sport model.
I don’t think that you’ll be disappointed in either model. All comes down to personal preference. Good luck with the purchase! You’ll love it 🤙🏽
Same here I stuck between the two.i had a concourse 14 Kawasaki and I wanted the wife to ride with me.but it was just to bike of a bike on two wheels for touring if she wanted to drive/ride so this Can-Am or two of them would be perfect for us. And she can have her own
Bought mine yesterday
Congrats!!! Enjoy the ride 🤘🏽
Last time I tried to buy one from china they took my money 😡 where did you purchase yours and how much ?
@@thejuice7020 visit your local Can-am dealer. Prices vary depending on what model and accessories you buy
Brought mine about a month ago
I live in Montreal, where can I buy it and how much would it cost after tax?
I’m looking into getting rid of my sports bike and getting a Ryker. I’m missing my left leg below the knee and ride with an electric shifter. But, I want something with a little more comfort for longer rides.
You’ll have zero issues riding with the CVT transmission. As far as comfort goes… If you’re planning on long days in the saddle or multi-day trips, I’d invest in a comfort seat and windshield. The electronic cruise control on some models is also a nice feature. Good luck with the purchase and ride safe! 🤘🏽
Be nice to hear a little bit about the power/acceleration. I guess when you get old you don't care about that. Some people. Let me see..maybe one of those other reviews....

Check out our other video at 4:08 as I discuss some of the power and acceleration of the Ryker
Hey man I live in Montreal, where can I buy one? So hard to find
I’m sure there are a few big Can-Am dealerships around the Montreal area. The 2023’s are slated to be announced soon I believe. If you can’t find a 2022 or a used one maybe talk to your local dealership about getting on a list? I ordered mine shortly after the New Year and took delivery in May. Might have to wait or be willing to travel to find one. It sucks, but unfortunately the only option right now. Good luck with your search and hopefully you’ll be able to pick one up soon 🤙🏽
Great review! Thank you. Is there room for a passenger on this? Looks like it is a one person vehicle??
You can buy a 2-up seat for them. It would be ok for around town riding or a day trip IMO but if planning longer or multi-day trips you may want to look at something like the Spyder specifically for comfort reasons. I’m sure people have done it on a Ryker tho. Just my $.02
@@canuckpowersports Thank you!! The US $.02 may not be too valuable, but yours sure is!
I wish I can get one but I’m currently staying in dirtydelphia and the amount of car accidents hit and runs and deaths by cars scares me outhere
It’s unfortunately everywhere and I 100% get where you are coming from. Getting a Ryker to do a few trips out of the city may be option for some. Either way, stay safe out there!
About to pull the trigger on 2 sports for the wife and I we’re too excited was gonna do the 600 because I’ve never road fast bikes but screw that 900 all day I’m use to fast cars anyway but I know it will be a different experience
You’ll be glad that you went with the 900 when you get out on open roads or on the highway. It’s a pretty easy learning curve so you’ll both be fine. Enjoy the new Rykers!! Ride safe 🤘🏽
Excellent music choice!
So what would you consider a Harley trike?
Great Video. AWEFUL MUSIC. If it can even be called that.
Thank you 🤙🏽
Very helpful review.
I agree it’s not a motorcycle its an inverted trike. And looks awesome
Love the vid bro.
Thank you sir 🤘🏽
These are interesting vehicles. I don't really want one, but I would like to ride one. I have always thought they looked like a snowmobile converted into a bike. I don't really have the room for one though. Nice review.
Thanks Chris! If you ever get the chance to take one for a rip, definitely do it. Cheers 🤘🏽
Thumbs up on the music alone!!!
🤙🏽
This review was IllMATIC
🤙🏽
I just bought the endlinks and that by itself made a world of a different...
That might be a great place to start. Thanks 👍🏼
Would you recommend it as a daily rider?
You could definitely use the Ryker as a daily rider or commuter vehicle. If you have a long commute you can always think of upgrading to a Spyder if looking for more comfort on the long hauls.
It's a trike plain and simple, not a reverse trike, simply a trike. Trike = 3 wheels, Motorcycle = 2 wheels. No matter what the government says this is not a motorcycle. Is it fun? OH HECK YEAH! It's just a different kind of fun. Almost no learning curve to riding a Ryker at normal speeds. Pressing opposite leg into foot peg makes aggressive turns a piece of cake. Never having to worry about stopping and accelerating on wet surfaces is priceless. Also a little sand or rocks in road during tight turn is way less likely to ruin your day.😀
Great Information Thanks
Thanks for the feedback Ted 🤙🏽
I'm looking for something that is cheaper and could be a first time bike/3 wheeler and I was wondering if something like this could be good. Also would you recommend it for city use or for more open roads?
As a first bike, the Ryker would be a great option. If you’re looking to keep within a cheaper budget a used 600 may be the route to go. I’ve found that insurance is reasonable compared to getting on a sport bike for instance as a new rider. I enjoy riding open roads but that is just my preference. I know a lot of people that commute and ride in the city without issues. Good luck finding the right bike for you! Ride safe 🤘🏽
@@canuckpowersports thanks dude!
I would think it would constantly feel like it needs an alignment like it would sway constantly?
The aftermarket sway bar end links made a huge difference. With the 3 points of contact it does find impurities of the road.
Nice review
Thank you! Keep 3 wheels down 🤙🏽
How’s this ride with a passenger?
I personally never rode with a passenger. From what I’ve heard, it would be great around town but not ideal if doing longer trips. If looking to tour long distances it may be ideal to upgrade to a Spyder. Just what I’ve heard so take it for what it’s worth.
@@canuckpowersports thank you!
Howdy? So I have no experience riding any bike other than a bicycle!! Would this ryker be a good bike if I am beginner?
Yes it most definitely would be a great starter bike. There are only 2 things needed to operate the bike. The throttle which is your right hand and the brake pedal which is operated by your right foot. The benefits of the Ryker are… not having to hold the bike up when stopped, no shifting gears and not having to worry about sliding out if you hit sand in a corner. More of your riding is focused on what is on the road and you’re not having to worry about all the little things as a new rider. Good luck with your purchase whichever way you choose to go. Ride safe!!🤘🏽
@@canuckpowersports I am just afraid that I would hit the gas and crash. So I was learning how to ride a grom and somehow hit the gas without knowing and the grom hit one of those yellow poles and my body wrapped around the other pole. I did not know I hit the pole until my friends told me like a minute or two later, I was able to just get up after but I was limping a little. (Anyways that is what I am afraid of, making the mistake of hitting the gas and not being able to stop it without crashing.)
@@ScoobyDooSnakz There are 3 wheel courses that you can take and they will start you off by teaching you all the basics. A course may be your best bet to regain your confidence. Glad that you weren’t seriously hurt in your crash.
@@canuckpowersports Thank You, I will look into it. Also I think it was a learning experience tbh.
Ok. Im new to riding. I want a can am. Choosing the right one is my thing. Im 5'10 230 lbs. Will a ryker be a bit small for me? I also like maybe doing a 2 up ability for it. What do you think? Or should I go up 1 to the f3. Yes price is a thing because Id also like some lee way for upgrades.. sorry but I really need some help choosing.. I dont want to look weird on a small bike. But again Im only 5'10 - 230 lbs roughly
I am the same build and it fits me fine. Having the adjustability in the pegs and bars helps. You’ll be ok on the Ryker 🤙🏽 2up could be tight but still doable. If planning on doing a lot of 2 up riding I would step up to a bigger bike IMO. If just running around town with a passenger, you’ll be fine. Go with the 900. You’ll be glad that you did.
Errands to town or 2 up for an hour ride, Ryker 900 (payload approx. 400 lbs) will be fine. If you want more than these, checkout the Spyder F3s (the cheaperr Spyder) Also, if you're thinking of the Ryker 900, research all the add-ons to get for your needs. Before you know it, you'll be approaching the Spyder F3 entry level cost. e.g.: adding a passenger seat with backrest to the Ryker and upgrading your sway bar will already set you back 500 to 600 dollars. It's easy to get carried 1000s $ away with the options the Ryker has, talking about a friend. LOL. May you find your "ride".
Great video! Thumbs up!
Thanks Angel 🤙🏽
I'm getting older and joint issues, this would be a nice transition from two wheels and without the cost of a Harley Freewheeler.
Totally agree Chris. The Ryker would definitely be more budget friendly and rides better than having 2 wheels in the back
@@canuckpowersports already have a test ride scheduled through the Can Am site with a dealer in my area and picked mine out already. $10.6K with the 900 CC engine.
@@christopherdekonstrukt444 That’s sweet Chris! Enjoy the new ride when it arrives and keep 3 wheels down. Cheers 🤘🏽
Good review, could do without the background music (would actually like to hear the startup and how it drives). But neat and something to consider in this price range.
Thank you for the feedback. Will definitely take it into consideration for future reviews. Ride safe 🤙🏽
This thing just makes me feel like Batman. It's so badass and unique
It's a little on the Cheap side the ryker...but alot of fun..
How is it a a touring bike? 500 miles +
It can definitely be done but you’ll want to set it up with a few accessories to make yourself more comfortable. ie windshield, comfort seat etc. If looking to go on extended tours you may want to consider stepping into a Spyder. I’ll be releasing a video soon about setting up a Ryker for those looking to put on high miles, so be sure to watch for it. I’ve done a few 400 mile days and had zero issues.
How is the reliability??
So far it has been great. I’ll be doing a 2500km (1500 mile) review shortly. I have heard that others have had issues but like any machine it will at some point. Regular maintenance will help prevent premature breakdowns but luckily I’ve been ok in that department so far. Time will tell
The Shaft drive is what sold me to the Ryker. Most minor probs you'll be able to handle on your own even on the road. I'm almost near my 4,000 km check and no probs so far.
@@RobertSmith-zt2il Ok. I'll place my order this week. My dealer has stock coming in August. Thanks!
awesome tks
Are you interested in testing products? We would like to ask you to test the UTV Cover for Ryker 900.
I have done over 250,000 miles on two-wheeled motorcycles. But I now have a Can-Am Spyder F3-S. It's fantastic. I still have a KTM 390 Duke and a Yamaha Aerox 155 scooter.
Informative video.
Thank you! 250k miles is quite the accomplishment! Continue to ride safe
@@canuckpowersports Not really as I'm 68.
the only lack is tft display for map. other are awesome
The Ryker is an entry level model into the 3 wheel Can-Am world. There is a $7k difference between the top Ryker model and the F3 here in Canada. Maybe another “loaded” Ryker model to fill that gap would be awesome which would include a better display and maybe a turbo engine. Just my $.02 🤙🏽
So if a motorcycle only has two wheels, what is a Ural?
Very coowl! 💀👍🏼
Rally rips for donuts etc
Do you need to have regular driver license or motorcycle license for it
You need a motorcycle or 3 wheel endorsement to ride here in Canada. Can-am offers a 3 wheel course, which upon completion will allow you to ride a 3 wheeler. Some States may have different rules so good to check with your local DMV for license requirements.
Just how bad it the sideways drifting? It looks pronounced.
I was dodging some rough road sections in the video but it does drift a little bit at highway speeds. I’m use to it now but will be adding an aftermarket sway bar and end links which will hopefully eliminate that issue
It only drifts when the rider drifts. It's rock solid. I've ridden my Ryker Rally for nearly 3 years.
On average, how much does insurance cost for the Ryker? Thanks.
Hey Ethan. It all depends on many factors such as age, driving record, geographical location, insurance company you use etc. I am paying slightly less than I did compared to my Harley and A LOT less than my Hayabusa. I am paying about $55/mo here in Ontario, Canada. Your best bet is to call around for quotes or bundle insurance with your house, car…
I'm a new rider and I pay about $60 a month for full coverage with State Farm.
@@canuckpowersports You sound very intelligent , you should seriously look into becoming an automotive journalist. This RUclips from start to finish was done in a very professional manner. It seem like a team of editors got together to make this video.
@@minpinracing8462 I enjoyed putting this video together and really surprised about the response that it has gotten so far.

Can someone mount a hitch for a motorcycle camping trailer
That I am not 100% sure. If you find out would you be able to post it for everyone here in the comments? Cheers
So do you need a motorcycle license to ride one of these?
Depends on the State/Province. Some require a motorcycle licence or a 3 wheel endorsement. Best to check your local regulations.
do you need a motorcycle license to buy and operate one of these? I heard that you didn't for this but i dont know
In Ontario Canada you need a 3 wheel endorsement course or a motorcycle licence to operate the vehicle. Each State may have different laws so check with your local motor vehicle department for what is required. Helmet laws may also differ from State to State.
I guess a turbo version would be pretty good. But you can have them mapped and they go like stink.
Also, could you imagine what a 3x3 Ryker would be like????!!!
Could that even be possible?
Great points! I talk more about a turbo engines in my latest review. Precision EFI has a turbo kit for the Ryker. An all wheel drive would be interesting but not sure about handling characteristics.
If you have long legs, the U-fit system won't fit. I have a 36" inseam and a Ryker leaves me with my Knees in a bod position for too long. Spyder > Ryker for any tall person. Also there is not plenty of room in the Frunk. you will find its just not big enough for most things you want in there minus Keys, wallet and water bottle.
😲👌👌👌👌👌👌❤
So it's NOT a motorcycle?...... 🤔 but then just a moment later you say "let's take a quick walk around the bike."
Edit: 20 seconds later you call it a bike again😂..... and less than 10 seconds after that. A couple of other "bike" mentions later, as well.
I think you have it backwards..... it IS a motorcycle (@SquidzitAce breaks this down well), but it's NOT a bike (clearly a trike). I bet a number of Harley TriGlide owners take umbrage with the "three wheels is not a motorcycle" take on it. But whatever.....
As for your review.... you did a very good job covering many important points. Ill give you 👍👍.
Not calling it a motorcycle has been a hot topic on this video. Whatever you call it, it is a blast to ride. We also call ATV’s bikes here north of the border. Maybe it’s just our slang. No doot aboot it!
@@canuckpowersports 😀 yes, Canadians are not the same as even northern Americans (I'm from MN). I love hearing the "oo"s when watching you guys on YT or talking to you at truck stops and customers (trucker here). All is good 👍.
Cruise Control??? Where and how?
The 2022 Ryker Sport and I believe the 2022 Rally has electronic cruise control as a standard feature. It is located on the left handlebar and can be engaged at >35 km/h. Push the button to activate, press again to set the cruise. To disengage, press the button again or step on the brake pedal.
My 2022 sport 900 has cruise control.Left side handlebar.
Great video but someone posted that cams has engine issues and that he wouldn't recommend it because the quality control of these vehicles are so sub standard.
I guess with any vehicle there will be some that have issues. I haven’t had any as of yet with the Ryker but will be doing reviews as I pile on the miles. I’ve had vehicles with 100k kms on them and they have run flawless. On the other hand, I have owned vehicles that were constantly needing maintenance and reliability was sub par. Time will tell…
@@canuckpowersports awesome, I'm glad to hear that most people haven't had any problems.
We own 2 2019 Rallies since they were new with Zero issues.
Only issue this year in Idaho is 100+°F weather makes it terrible to ride 🥵🤣😂
no problems with my 2020 Rally.
Man that machine is all over the road like a drunken sailor.
That’s the camera action.
Its not derogatory to suggest its not a motorcyle. I mean its not but why would it want to be. Its it's own vehicle worthy of its own identity. I Own a goldwing but i'd love one of these.

I live in the USA and have been riding motorcycles for over 50 years. In the USA we have a goverment agency that handles all thing traffic safety called the NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRANSPORTATION AND SAFETY ADMINISTRATION ( NHSTA) and is part of the much larger U.S. Department of transportation ( DOT) that handles all things traffic investigation, road gear grading/testing and vehicle nomenclature and definition and based on THEIR definition of a motorcycle it is a motorcycle, additionally, We have state level agencies called the Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and when you go to register it it will be registered as a motorcycle not whatever you were calling it or think it is. I respect your motorcycle experience as I'm sure you will respect mine but in my "opinion" it is a motorcycle just not a traditional motorcycle and my country's government will apparently back me up on that. For the life of me I cannot figure out why people get so anal about is it a "motorcycle" or not. If you put planes underneath a boat and it can now skim over the water it is a boat, if you have a car with 5 wheels powered by gamma rays it is a car but there is noooo way a open air vehicle with three wheels in which you sit over the engine and is steered thru the use of handle bars and has completely handling and riding dynamics could not possible be a motorcycle because you can't lean it in curves? One does not balance it? You don't use a clutch and traditional gear shifter? When and who said THOSE things define a motorcycle because it sure as hell isn't in the literal definition of the same. Take care.
Physics are going to make electric motorcycles very unlikely to satisfy. This form factor can be a much better platform for EV evolution. I hope they get serious about this.
In NJ we need a motorcycle license to ride one so legally, here it's a motorcycle.
Same in RI
Why would someone go for a 3 wheeler vs a 2 wheeler
It all depends on what someone is looking for to get them out on the road. The Rykers ride differently than a 2 wheeler, but they also add stability for someone who isn’t able to ride a motorcycle. The video covers your questions in a few different areas. Hope this helps!
@@canuckpowersports Thank you.
At 62, I still wanted to ride, but my knees and balance issues led me to this 3 wheeler. Everyone is different.,
@@Twinzma Understandably so. Thank you for giving us your perspective.
I understand when you say a motorcycle has 2 wheels, but then you go on to list 'quads' amongst the motorcycles you've ridden?
You dont think it's a motorcycle but you call it a bike. It is a motorcycle (motored tri-cycle) and definitely not a bike (2 wheels).
I agree because harley and Honda make trikes and are still considered motorcycles
Great point
It's the same bike as a 2019 Rally with different rims & tires and a cruise control along with a frunk lock. Why the 2022's have no chip in the key is unacceptable. Anybody's key starts the bike. 😊
It is Not Really the same as the 2019 Rally.
My wife and I own 2019 Rallies and my Boss just got a 22 sport a few weeks ago.
Ours also has different suspension and Rally Mode including the things you mentioned and a different rear fender.
Wasn't aware of the No Chip key 🤔
Might have to steal my bosses to go to lunch soon 🤣😂👍
@@jamesglenn520 Mechanically it's the same bike. The motor and drive train are the same. The frame is the same. The brakes are the same. The whole bike feels the same. I know it has an adjustable suspension and some cosmetic changes. My 2019 is heavily modified; including Elka suspension. So those cosmetic changes mean nothing to me. The bike is overall the same. It just has a price tag that does not make it a bargain like my 2019 was. The price is closer to the F3 now. And if I was considering an F3. I would just buy a base Slingshot.
the chop problem is down to covid and logistical problems, not CanAm.
The chip issue is common throughout the whole automobile industry. It's due to logistical problems arising from global lockdowns.
@@anthonyhulse1248 I know why the problem exists. It still doesn't take away the fact. Can Am made the decision to still sell the bike without a chip in the key. My 2019 as well as any other key can start the 2022 model. And it can be stolen more easily. Oh I forgot; Can Am did acknowledge the bike not having a chip in the key. By putting a parking brake lock on the bike as standard equipment (that can easily be defeated with a screwdriver). Also the parking brake should have been included on all Rykers; since day one of production. And not only the Canadian models. I research everything. 😊
Took one for a test drive because the dealer didn't have any spyders in (shortage) I absolutely loved it, I was like "🥱 whatever a ryker" that feeling quickly went away. I ended up putting a deposit down for a 22 RT Limited Spyder. If 900cc was that amazing, I can just imagine what 1330 will be
Great to hear Mac. Enjoy the new RT Limited 🤙🏽

@@canuckpowersports I'm gonna call them on Monday and inquire, I may have no choice but to go to Rockys in London to look at the Freewheeler 🤷 it's getting frustrating now 🤣 I know it's not the dealer but
400 miles on my 2021, now going to cost me $3000 to get the power steering pump fixed. Never buy these over priced things, oil change $284
I’m assuming that you are riding a Spyder, not a Ryker??? The Ryker does not have power steering.
Just like any toy, maintenance can get expensive if you aren’t willing to do the work yourself. I can buy a Ryker oil change kit for just over $100 CDN and get it done in less than an hour to save a few $’s. There are a few great RUclips videos out there to walk you through some of the basic maintenance. Some common tools and a little bit of mechanical knowledge can make the world of a difference. Good luck with your bike. I hope that you get everything sorted out. Ride safe 🤙🏽
Yes it’s a spyder, I will look to see if I can find anything, as I do love it and use it, just frustrating with only now 400 miles and it’s going out. And Can am and dealership don’t care.
@@robbierob2442 I get your frustration and I would be feeling the same. Hopefully that is the end of your issues. Having a good dealership can make or break your experience. Keep me posted on how you make out. Good luck!
@@canuckpowersports Traded it in, had more issues after the power steering, brakes were heating up. Thank you , but not for me even though I did enjoy the ride but not worth all the problems with only 400 miles on it. Good luck to all, but CanAm is definitely not for me
Change your own oil... really simple
If you have to modify the suspension just to go down the Highway. Can-Am is doing something wrong.
Good point!
But this is not a "Can Am problem", I used to own a Yamaha MT09 and that was awful on the road! Upgrade was a must and this meant more money out. I'm sure this was on purpose from Yamaha.
Before the MT09 I owned a Triump Street Triple and it was a world apart from the MT09. The Street Triple was great and so much fun riding it. Now that I know the MT09 was a big mistake, shouldn't have sold the Street Triple for the MT09.
But I've been in a serious accident 16 month ago (nothing to do with motorcycles) and are now in a wheelchair for life (broke my spine clean of). This is why I have started to look at Can Am:s both Spyder and Ryker... future will tell. As for now the Ryker feels the best.
Hi from Sweden!👍
It is like anything else I suppose. All depends on what type of ride you’re looking for. I have altered or changed the suspension components on pretty much every toy that I’ve owned. If looking to cruise around town or don’t ride aggressively, stock form will suit you well. If you are looking to push the bike harder, then upgrades are almost always necessary. Can-Am did do what they could to make the Ryker suitable for “most riders” by adding adjustability to pegs, handlebars, windshields etc.
I set up my vehicles for how I ride. With that being said… I’ve had buddies jump on my bike or snowmobile and they hate how it’s set up because it is dialled in for my riding style. To each their own 🤷🏻
I would not be in a big rush to change the suspension to fix the handling issue.
My wife and I both have had our Rallies since spring 2019.
We had 2wheels beforehand.
We both found that 90+% of the handling issues were Rider Impute 👌
Different animal Different feel 😲
Put some miles on it and just relax Don't death grip the bars and be Mideful of over steer. It is very touchy and a little bit of input will have you all over the road.
Ours are all stock suspension and we can cruise down the highway 60-80mph with one hand 👌👍
well, you don't have to modify the suspension. Most people who modify the suspension do so because they are not used to the buffeting you get riding on a highway on a motorbike. If you come from a motorbike, the Ryker is rock solid by comparison.

So, agree to it or not, it’s a motorcycle. A trike. No need to look down on it because it has an extra wheel, and a snowmobile can’t ride on a road, so not a fair comparison. Some of us want to ride but can’t on 2 wheels for a number of reasons, and we shouldn’t miss out on all the fun just because it has that third wheel, or ppl looking down on us. Ridiculous. Sorry, I’m just sick of the snubs when ppl aren’t making my bike pmts.
Everyone has their own views about 3 wheels. I’m not looking down at it because I really enjoy my Ryker! As a snowmobiler myself, it rides more like a snowmobile than a motorcycle due to the fact that it rides “flat” IMO. I love the Ryker the more I ride it which is why I own one. It doesn’t matter what you ride or what category you decide to put 3 wheelers in, as long as you enjoy riding! The video is my own thoughts and no matter what anyone has to say there will always be people who agree or disagree with one’s opinion. Ride safe and I hope you enjoy 3 wheels as much as I do 🤙🏽
