2027 Can-Am Ryker Gets New Engine and Major Changes, Spyder and Canyon Three-Wheelers Trail Behind

It’s been a pretty busy week for Canadian powersports company Can-Am, which released a number of fresh, revised, or significantly updated models across its range, but also a couple of concepts meant to preview what its side-by-sides can be turned into. This story, however, is about the company’s three-wheelers, more specifically the Ryker, Spyder, and Canyon.

All three models are at the receiving end of upgrades, be them only visual or more pronounced, targeting improvements in performance, handling, and stability. Here they all are, so you know what to expect from the 2027 family of Can-Am vehicles on three wheels.

2027 Can-Am Ryker

I’ll start with the Ryker, the entry-level model that hit the market for the first time eight years ago, in 2018. And I do this because the manufacturer talks about the most significant evolution of the platform to date, with changes targeting not only its looks, but also chassis and powertrain.

I’ll begin with the chassis, because it is there that Can-Am made some changes to increase rigidity, reinforce the steering system, and recalibrate the Vehicle Stability System (VSS). Then, the ride’s underbody now holds a new Rotax 900 ACE three-cylinder engine, which develops 52 hp and completely replaces the previous 600cc twin-cylinder.

The above is just one of the engine choices the Ryker now offers. You see, there will be three trim levels on the table for this model, namely the standard, Sport, and, as a novelty for 2027 and available for a single year only, the Special Series.

The engine I mentioned above goes into the standard version, as the Sport and Special Series are animated by a Rotax 900 ACE variant that cranks out significantly more punch, 80 hp.

The new version, the Sport Series, differentiates itself from the rest of the pack through exclusive panels, dedicated wrap kits, Liquid Titanium wheel finishes, new suspension components, a unique seat treatment, and an Akrapovic exhaust system.

No matter the version, though, Can-Am throws in a new five-inch color display, new handlebar-mounted controls, and redesigned body panels. The LED lights are new as well, and there are, naturally, new color choices on the table.

All three Ryker models are already listed on Can-Am's North American configurator. The entry-level carries a sticker that reads $12,999, the Sport is selling from $16,999, while the top of the range and time-limited Special Series will set people back $19,499.

2027 Can-Am Spyder and Canyon

When it comes to the other two members of the Can-Am three-wheeler offering, we’re only dealing with new looks and some touring-oriented enhancements. On the paint job front, the company is adding to the bag Dolomite Grey on Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky and Spyder F3 Limited Special Series, Sandstone on the Canyon Redrock, and Monolith Black Satin on the Spyder F3-S.

When it comes to the Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky, Can-Am is now offering right off the bat a new Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), new seat materials, and branded front and rear travel bags - a perk that has been part of the package before, but is now making a comeback following a short absence.

When it comes to the Spyder and Canyon, the 2027 model year lineup offers the joy of riding on three wheels for prices that start at $29,999 for the Canyon and $34,999 for the Spyder RT STS.
