Rider Profile

Best For	Approachable for riders of varying experience levels since the three-wheel layout removes the balance and tip-over concerns of a traditional motorcycle.
Purpose	Built for confident, stable open-road cruising and touring rather than aggressive cornering or performance riding.
Rider Fit	Comfortable and low-effort to operate thanks to car-like controls, a low seat height, and no need to balance the machine at stops.
Character	A distinctive three-wheeled tourer that trades traditional motorcycle agility for stability, security, and relaxed long-distance comfort.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking the lean-in cornering feel, lightweight agility, or off-road capability of a conventional two-wheeled motorcycle.

Inseam (optional)

Units

Calculated in your browser only - your height/inseam are never sent to our servers.

Feet:

At 737mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2016 Can-Am Spyder RS, with a cramped knee angle of around 80 degrees and an upright riding position.

Data quality: measured. Assumes about 30mm of suspension sag once seated (a typical street-bike rule of thumb - stiffer or softer suspension will vary). This is an approximation from category-typical geometry and generic body proportions, not a measurement of this specific bike or you - sit on it before you buy.
