Can-Am Ryker vs Spyder: How do they Ride?

After recently spending some time riding a Can-Am Spyder, I decided to sit down and compare the differences in my riding experiences between the Spyder and my Ryker. Enjoy!

Rykers are much more nimble and easier to handle, I just love mine. 2021 rally!

Loved your review. Since you have ridden both Ryker & Spyder very awesome. I have Spyder 2020 rtl & just did a 350 mile ride today. Yes, the floor boards make you fell like sitting "on top" but you can also stand & stretch with them. Regarding the steering, for myself the stock set up was tiring & difficult, but as soon as I added a 2inch riser on the handlebar it made a great difference. Loved your vlog & more your effervescent attitude!

Sitting on an RT is like sitting on a Skidoo snowmobile... I like being part of the bike.. Great video 👍😎

Great comparison Ryker Chick! This was a really informative video.!

You should have swapped bykes. The RT and F3 have completely different ergos and you may find the F3 a closer feel to the ryker and more nimble.

"It's just like Phew Phew Phew" My favorite part of the review. It totally describes the Ryker too!

I have a 600 but would like to have an f3 I think. You are very good. Might start watching you along with Ryker Rides.

I have both the 2020 Rally and a 2020 Spyder F3-L. Love them both.

Great interview.Would have liked to see more of videos of your trip.

Good comparison. I’m a F-3S owner. My wife likes to ride on the back and has done thousands of miles on the back of our 1997 Valkyrie in the past. The F-3 S was my choice due to the fact that my wife is afraid of highway driving. Our rides are mostly our in the country. I thought of a Limited but it didn’t seem to fit us enough to spend all the Xtra $ for all it offers. I like the bags/trunk and the other things it offers. However it just didn’t make sense to spend all that Xtra cash. Period. Can’t wait for this winter to be over. I only got to ride my F-3S a few times before it got too cold. I did find it to be a blast, it was much faster than I thought. Mine was used/new (705 miles) when I bought it. So it is not fully broken in yet. I don’t think I even explored it full potential (no red line pulls yet.) but I will! 😉 my Valkyrie was a beast! 1340cc flat 6 cylinder, 6 carbs, solid lifters, Two Brother Racing Header exhaust, with Corbin saddles with back rests that switched front and back position in seconds. Man I miss that bike. I think this F-3S is gonna scratch that itch quite nicely!😉 Come on SPRING!!!

Excellent comparison! Love all of your fall decorations 🍁🍂 and your video ❤

Awesome comparison, thank you. :) Sounds like an amazing trip. the older RT floorboards were not great. The 2020+ are awesome.

Ooh the Spyder RT looks like the Rolls-Royce of Can-Ams. The highway pegs sounded good. Yep would take time to get used to the weight of the Spyder similiar to big touring motorcycles. Yep the Spyder would be great for touring with the storage capacity.

Hello, I was wondering about the ride of the Ryker at highway speeds. My wife is a smaller woman and Not very adventurous. Do you get blown around on the Ryker with it being a much lighter bike?

[kennethwoods]

One question you need to ask is are you wanting a sports bike or a long distance touring bike .with that you get that bike for that its no caparison sports bike are made for turns, speed, twisted roads.touring for long smooth rides .gradual curbs and some tight curbs.but they will ride different.its like comparing and Ninja 600 to a concorse 14 .both are Kawasaki.the Ninja you sit in the bike the 14 you sit on top .i have the Can-Am rt limited i had a sports bike.but as i gotten older no heath problem just the wife is not riding with me unless it can be more stable and ride smoother and she can keep her stuff in the storage and i dont/cant drive 0 to 100 in a few seconds.and age don't really matter on what you get it matter on the kind of riding you doing or you want to do.

I really liked your comparisons. I rode my buddies 2021 RT Limited on and off for three days and loved it! I know what you mean when you sit on top. I am going to sell my Ryker and get an RT. A Couple reasons. I want my wife to go with me. I find myself doing longer trips and the Ryker does not cut it. We went 13 hours to Deadwood SD and I was dead. I love the comfort, storage, and I will miss my Ryker! I love the Ryker, however I only can afford one. I will keep watching your channel and Thank You for doing the videos!

[BlackphoenixEntertainment]

I still need to get myself on a Ryker and compare the two just to see what it feels like. I'm like you though, I've done so much work to my spyder, I can't see myself riding anything else right now.

[PurpleOnThree]

Just found your channel and figured this was a good video to start with! Great review on the differences. I don't care for the seating position on the RT for myself..being on the F3 is a totally different seating position...more like cruiser style and I feel like I am a part of my F3. I have ridden my F3 Limited on the Tail and the Back of the Dragon...and absolutely love the twisties with it...what did your hubby think of the F3 on there? I have since added the Baja Ron sway bar and now have ridden a few more thousand miles in Arkansas to test it out. I'm glad your like your Ryker! It's yours! I guess a lot of us feel the same way about our own rides. 💜

[andreawilliams]

Nice comparison video! I found the RT a bit larger for my taste, so I ended up with the F3-S. I wouldn't rule out a RT Limited in the future though!

[leoncope]

I’m asking a question did your are hurt or feel like jello after your ride with the F3 ;;;you said it felt a little hard to turn ;; truth I want one but I’m on the fence ;; I’m asking about the steering because I’m trying to learn as much as I can ;; it sound like you was very in pressed with it
