The machine: the all-new 2019 CAN-AM RYKER. The setting: the coastal hills and highways of Malibu and Santa Monica, California USA. MAXIM travels to this grand locale to road test this unique beast at the exclusive international pre-production launch…
Taking cues, yet departing from their popular Spyder model, the Ryker has its sights on the youth market; sure to create mass appeal with its accessible price tag and fun unintimidating three-wheel experience. First appearances are impressive, with that single-side swing arm giving off a sleek sporty look. The 4.5 inch digital display gives you all the info you need: speed, rpm, trip functions, fuel level, etc. Other noticeables include front fenders with integrated LEDs, front-mounted storage box and dual USB ports.
There are three versions of the Ryker: the normal and standard editions, available in choices of Rotax 600cc or 900cc engines, and the Rally edition which boasts a 900cc Rotax triple. For the Cali cruise our weapon in the waiting was the 900cc standard.
