Key Features of the 2026 Can-Am Spyder RT

Rotax® 1330 ACE™ in-line 3-cylinder

The heart of the Spyder RT lineup is the Rotax® 1330 ACE™ in-line 3-cylinder engine, tuned for smooth, linear power and low-maintenance confidence. Its Advanced Combustion Efficiency design supports strong torque delivery for two-up riding and fully loaded travel, while maintaining a relaxed engine character at cruising speeds. The triple-cylinder layout combines the refinement touring riders appreciate with the durability Rotax® is known for on the open road. Paired with Eco Mode for efficient touring and a refined exhaust note that avoids harshness, the powerplant shines on long grades and crosswind stretches—right where touring engines earn their reputation.

10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay

Center stage in the cockpit is a 10.25-inch touchscreen that integrates seamlessly with Apple CarPlay. The display puts navigation, music, calls, and voice assistant access within easy reach, and the handlebar controls let you navigate menus without taking your hands off the grips. Riders appreciate how the larger screen improves glanceability, especially when sunlight or rain would challenge smaller displays. The interface is designed for clarity—vehicle info is front and center, audio is easy to adjust, and on models equipped or accessory-fitted, the backup camera view with guiding lines appears crisply on the same display. This is touring tech that reduces distractions and enhances situational awareness.

Touring comfort and ergonomics

Long-mile comfort begins with a cushy, supportive seat and extends to lumbar support, generous floorboards, and an adjustable electric windshield that fine-tunes airflow on demand. Heated grips are standard on select trims, while heated seats are included on the RT Limited, making cold starts or shoulder-season trips more inviting. The rider triangle thoughtfully balances room to move with planted control, so you can settle in on interstates and still feel connected on winding backroads. Adjustable side wind deflectors on the Sea-to-Sky add another layer of personalization, shaping airflow around the rider and passenger. It is an ergonomic package that invites longer days and shorter recovery times.

Impressive storage and LinQ compatibility

The Spyder RT platform is built for real travel. With at least 31 gallons of integrated storage, you can pack bulky gear without resorting to awkward strap-down solutions. Moving up the range, the RT Limited and Sea-to-Sky raise total capacity to 47 gallons by adding a top case sized for touring essentials. LinQ compatibility makes it simple to click on or off accessory luggage in seconds, tailoring your loadout from a quick day trip to a weeklong journey without tools or fuss. Smartly placed compartments help balance weight and keep frequently used items within easy reach the moment you stop.

Suspension, stability, and convenience systems

SACHS Big-Bore front shocks and a rear shock tuned for touring keep the Spyder RT composed across patched pavement and rolling sweepers. On the RT Limited and Sea-to-Sky, a self-leveling rear air suspension maintains the ride height and balance as passenger or cargo loads change. The platform’s confidence is reinforced by traction control, dynamic power steering, cruise control, and a reverse function that makes tight parking situations effortless. Premium LED headlights project a clean, bright beam for extended dusk and night runs, and available audio configurations—from BRP Audio 4-speaker on RT to 6-speaker on RT Limited—bring rich, clear sound to the ride.
