Rider Profile

Best ForSuitable for riders of varying experience levels since the three-wheel layout with automatic-style transmission and stability control removes much of the balance and clutch skill required on a traditional motorcycle.
PurposeBuilt for long-distance, high-comfort touring with a passenger and full luggage rather than for spirited cornering or performance riding.
Rider FitVery manageable physically thanks to the low seat height, reverse gear, foot-braking system, and lack of need to hold the vehicle upright at stops.
CharacterA relaxed, stable, gadget-laden touring machine that trades cornering agility for confidence-inspiring three-wheel security and cruiser-like comfort.
Not Ideal ForNot for riders seeking sharp cornering feel, lightweight handling, or off-road capability.

2011 Can-Am Spyder Roadster RT Limited Rider Ergonomics Assessment

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

Feet:

At 772mm, a rider of 175cm with a 79cm (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2011 Can-Am Spyder Roadster RT Limited, with a cramped knee angle of around 85 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.
