| 説明 | 1-12-13 Wyndham Street RacesThe Can-Am Spyder is a three-wheeled motorcycle manufactured by the Canadian firm, Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP). The Spyder made its US debut in February of 2007 and has been a hot topic in the motorcycle riding world ever since. Representing a viable, sporty option for the aging motorcycle demographic the original standard-shift Can-Am Spyder was followed by the Spyder SE5, which features a semi-automatic transmission. The Can-Am Spyder isn’t a trike, in the traditional sense, as it sports two wheels in front and a single rear. Unlike some 2-1 three-wheelers, however, the Spyder does not lean. The Spyder’s mix-mash hybrid of motorcycle and ATV technology is perhaps most evident in the Can-Am Spyder chassis - dual A-arms complementing a single rear shock. The Can-Am Spyder frame is a Y-shaped cradle surrounding the Spyder’s 990cc V-Twin – the liquid-cooled engine built by Austria’s Rotax and a variation of the Twins powering Aprilia sportbikes. Features like stability and traction control, as well as power steering keep the Spyder manageable on the road. Since the Spyder’s 2007 debut, the Roadster, as BRP likes to refer to it, has benefited from constant mainstream media coverage. Featured in music videos, television shows and films like G.I. Joe and Transformers II, the Can-Am Spyder continues to grow in popularity.2013 CAN-AM SPYDERS – FIRST LOOKSharpened reflexes and a new model.Five years after production of Can-Am’s “Y-factor” Spyder roadsters began, the Canadian company has made significant changes to the model lineup as well as to the chassis and suspensions of its three-wheelers. Most attention among those interested in the three-wheeler world is focused on the new “ST” (Sport Touring) model, slotted midway between the turn-key-touring RT and the sportier (and much lighter) RS.But for 2013, all Spyders benefit from larger wheels and tires and new, stiffened chassis. According to Can-Am, the result is better handling for all Spyders, compared with previous models. Considering that the long-term 2010 Spyder RT-S Cycle World tested delivered handling performance in slalom and skid-pad tests that are more in the minivan zone than the motorcycle or sports-car zones, improvements were clearly in order. The new ST model, which has a more comfortable riding position than the RS, along with touring features and wind/weather protection midway between the RS and RT, indicates that Can-Am knows that a substantial number of would-be buyers wanted something between the luxury-touring RT and the relatively lean and mean RS. Rumors continue to circulate of new competition for Can-Am in the road-going three-wheeler market. If those rumors are based in facts, BRP had additional reasons to give its Spyders better handling. We will test an ST soon to determine just how much better than the 2010 RT-S it might be dynamically.Prices for the 2013 Spyders range from a low of $16,999 for the RS to $18,899 for the ST and $29,899 forthe RT LimitedSource: www.cycleworld.com/2012/12/06/2013-can-am-spyders-first-l... |
