I have the RT Limited and for the most part I like it. Several things I hate. Sound system sucks, takes too long “loading” . Trans clunks when you first put in gear. Had to replace the seat and trunk gas spring shocks. And that’s just pathetic considering the price tag. I do really love the fact that it’s like riding a snowmobile on the road. One question does the F3 Have the air suspension in the rear like the RT? Looks wise and ride height I like the F3 better but overall you can’t beat the RT. This was hard for me since I’m a master bike builder of V twin bikes ( Harleys) . The sound on the Can Am is horrible to me. I replaced the complete exhaust system and it still sucks, just sucks less. But that’s me. Some appreciate the quiet. To me nothing beats the great sound of a great motor. Be it a car, bike or boat. Heck I bought my first Sea Ray boat based on sound . Was actually a first class boat but the sound clinched the deal the first time I heard it run. I had a few bad accidents and both knees replaced and why I bought a Can Am in the first place. With fused joints in my left hand I can’t pull a clutch lever anymore. Otherwise I’d own a Harley trike. Even though the Can Am is superior with 2 wheels up front. Last item, I think they are way over priced. A boat load of plastic. Fit and finish is pretty good but still. A nice comparison young lady, great video. As always, keep the rubber side down on the road. Lol Or dirt, grass etc. I’ve ridden mine off road carefully a few times. Like trying to cut through backed up traffic jambs😂. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great channel Beth. Also love your merch store! Awesome service on your part. I've had both the Spyder RTL and Ryker Rally. The Spyder holds 2 full face helmets in the back top case and a full face in the the right side saddle. Thanks for your hard work!

Nice comparison! My wife and I have one each - She’s 5’3 and rides an F3 (in Petrol Blue), I’m 6’2” and ride an RT (in Carbon Black). The best way to consider them is for the F3, think “Cruiser”- for the RT, think “Gold Wing.” You sit “in” the F3 and sit “on” the RT. I personally think my wife’s bike, the F3 is the better looking of the two but the RT is more plush and comfortable. We love them both!

I agree with you. F3 looks better but the RT is way more comfortable. I ride the F3 for an hour and my shoulder was hurting for 3 days afterwards. My lower back too. With the RT no problems! I just take the top case off to make it look sporty. Plus mine is all black so it looks meaner on the road 😉

Excellent review. I am looking to switch from a 2013 Harley Ultra Classic to a Spyder. I love Harley, but with the bike’s weight combined while riding two up with my wife is giving me balance issues while in traffic or slow riding. My preference would be the f3 because I do like the look better as well as a lower seating position, and would suit my solo riding needs as I would use it to commute back and forth to work , however the more comfortable seat for my wife would be paramount for the little bit of travels we would do. We plan to test ride both shortly.

Good review of the practical differences that can help decide which to buy. To me the F3 clearly fits you better whereas for me it was the RT. I think the F3 has adjustable floorboards and handlebars, but not the RT? Your red color wins hands down.

@RykerRydes

4 ай бұрын

Thanks John! The F3 does not have adjustable handlebars, but you can purchase can am’s short reach bars. Yes, the F3’s floorboards are adjustable if you buy a new linkage bar. The RT driver floorboards are not adjustable.

I think the F3 is beautiful, but I’m much prefer the RT. I’m 6 feet and have long legs. Also prefer the amenities and the sheer size of the Archie. I will be getting mine this year.

Such nice rides! The normal F3-S doesn't have saddlebags, or a trunk, or windshield etc... and the F3-T doesn't have the trunk. My friend has a F3-S, and most full face helmets will fit in the frunk just fine, if you rotate them the right way with the face up and top of the helmet toward front of the bike.

Think yours not fit in the front with the additional light on and it will also be the reason why you only fit 1 in the topcase. In the RT should fit a helmet in the sidecases to.

I wish Can Am would make a Linq platform for the F3 so those of us with F3T models can attach the same accessories that both the RT and Ryker can use. It’s a shame that your options are either buy the $2,100 OEM top case or get an aftermarket platform and attach a Shad plate to it. I guess that’s another difference between the two models is the ability to use Linq accessories.
