Overview

Introducing the 2010 Can-Am Spyder RS-S, a bold innovation in the world of motorcycling that redefines the sport category with its unique three-wheel design. Priced at an accessible US$ 18,799, the Spyder RS-S stands out not just for its striking aesthetics but also for the enhanced stability, comfort, and confidence it offers to riders. Designed for those who seek the thrill of motorcycling without sacrificing safety, the Spyder RS-S is perfect for both seasoned riders and newcomers eager to experience the open road in a whole new way. At the heart of the Spyder RS-S is a robust 998cc V2 four-stroke engine that churns out an exhilarating 106 horsepower at 8,500 RPM and a torque of 104 Nm at 6,250 RPM. This impressive power-to-weight ratio (0.3344 HP/kg) results in a responsive and exhilarating ride, whether you're cruising down the highway or navigating tight turns. The liquid-cooled engine, paired with a 5-speed gearbox and a belt final drive, ensures smooth acceleration and precise handling. Riders will appreciate the Spyder’s exceptional stability, thanks in part to its double A-arm front suspension and swing-arm rear suspension, both providing 145 mm of travel to soak up bumps and imperfections in the road. The Spyder RS-S is equipped with an array of cutting-edge features that enhance both performance and safety. Its Surrounding Spar Technology (SST) frame provides sturdy support while maintaining a lightweight feel, contributing to the motorcycle's agile maneuverability. The fully integrated hydraulic braking system, featuring double disc brakes at the front and a single disc at the rear, ensures powerful stopping power, bolstered by Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD) and Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) for added confidence on any surface. Additionally, the Spyder RS-S is available in a vibrant palette of colors, including Full Moon Silver, Roadster Red, and Quantum Blue, allowing riders to express their personality as they take on the road. **
