Rider Profile

Best For	Suited to riders of any two-wheel background, including those transitioning away from traditional motorcycles due to balance concerns, since the three-wheel layout eliminates the need to hold up the bike at stops.
Purpose	Built for long-distance, high-comfort touring with a passenger and luggage rather than for spirited solo backroad riding.
Rider Fit	Very approachable physically thanks to the low seat height, no-tip three-wheel stability, and reverse gear, making it accessible to riders with limited strength or balance confidence.
Character	A plush, stable, gadget-laden touring machine that trades cornering agility for security, comfort, and confidence-inspiring composure on the highway.
Not Ideal For	Not for riders seeking the lean-in cornering feel, lightweight agility, or off-road capability of a conventional touring motorcycle.

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

Feet:

At 772mm, a rider of 68.9" with a 31" (estimated) inseam will reach the ground with both feet flat on the 2018 Can-Am Spyder RT, 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.
