2024 Can Am Spyder RT Sea to Sky: The Best Touring Vehicle for Scenic Adventures! - Features Review!

[@pierregirondin9622]

I am a proud owner of the 2024 Sea to Sky model. Peter you are spot on. It is a lovely motorcycle. I love everything about it. That is my daily driver. I stopped using my car 2 months ago since I purchased it. Every single day. No lie. Especially coming from the gym or even from the supermarket. The attention that I get. The questions that I get asked. What is this? Oh my God that is different. And I have to go through a whole slew of explanation LOL. Which I expected from purchasing this beast of a machine. The only issue is the Apple carplay is not yet updated on mine. I am still waiting for the update. If you have any information please let me know. You are doing a great job representing this motorcycle. Lots of people are still confused about it.

[@SpyderChrisYT]

I have an RT Limited and I also use it as a daily driver.

[@strobaholic]

@@SpyderChrisYTwhat are the differences between the Limited and Sea to Sky (besides price wheels and color)?

[@SpyderChrisYT]

@@strobaholic I believe the big difference is a more cushioned seat and adjustable wind deflectors.

[@felixlechat1780]

Sponsor by can am nice well done !

[@strobaholic]

😩. My wife and I went to a canam dealer yesterday with a pile of cash to buy a new sea to sky. We were not impressed with the riding experience. We got smoked by a Tahoe off the starting line at a traffic line 🤣. The thing has no torque. Plus, that semi auto shift button shift is super annoying. But we noped out because of the Apple CarPlay. Couldn’t figure out how to get it. Now I know why. Didn’t like this bike anyway, and too expensive for what it is anyway. Thumbs down for this one.

[@LynnCindy]

Great walk around, and really appreciated. I just bought a 2024 RT Limited on the 9th of June, 2024, because I was able to get it in the Candy Apple Red, and the only things it didn't include that I can "see" are the rear arm-rests, and the Driver Seat backrest, both of which I think can be added to the model I got. I'm still new to this, but I like the feel of it MUCH better than a traditional trike, where this has two wheels in front versus a trike with two in the rear. Also, at 60 years of age, I appreciate that I don't have to worry about holding it up and balancing, or putting it up on a center stand when parking. I'm looking forward to a few trips on this over the next few months to get the feel for it.

[@barrickent184]

We just picked up our Sea to Sky last Saturday, traded in the wife's 2019 RTL which served us well. My understanding is Android Auto will not license their system for Motorcycles. I can't ride two wheels anymore, this was the best solution for me of all the other options out there. The semi-automatic is a joy in heavy traffic. Dealing with clutch was becoming an issue. The Can-Am took the stress out and put the fun back in. The more I ride it the more I like it.

[@bigskygeneration4474]

Sea to Sky Highway is between West Vancouver and Whistler. Opposite direction of Vancouver to the Rockies - that's the Trans Canada highway.

[@Frogluv64]

AWESOME review!! We just bought ours traded up from a 2014 RT Limited and LOVED that but we’re really excited to get this one on the road to feel and experience the differences!

[@jeannettebrough3755]

I loo0ove my Syder RT Limited... Wouldnt Want Anything Else ... SUPERB !!! An Absolutely Magik Machine... Thrilled to Bits with it ... Bought it for my 60th in Feb...

Thankyou for Great and Very Honest and Informative Videos... Brilliant ...Much Appreciated 🌻

[@markshuell4844]

I looked at a Sea To Sky today. I’ve had a motorcycle since I was 14. I’m now 68 and truthfully, I’m not as good of a rider as I used to be. The strength is still good, the balance has deteriorated. I suspect this will be my 70th birthday present to myself.

[@jaykanngiesser3454]

At 66 with some mobility and strength challenges, I am absolutely intrigued by this machine. I have been riding for over 50 years and am still not ready to give it up .

[@juans3728]

Great vehicle for people with any type of physical condition that is not too severe. I LOVE IT.

[@PeterLoweOne]

Great vehicle for people without any type of physical condition too! I love it as well!

[@kerryclassen6248]

I purchased a 2024 STS based largely on this review. Thank You!

[@Bridgett.]

So you do like it.. what do you think

[@Kwikasfuki007]

First of all, the more I watch your reviews Peter, the more I appreciate your professionalism and thoroughness with your approach. You present them in a way of "technical sales." If I was buying a new machine, this is the type of presentation I'd appreciate. Show me the specs, answer my technical questions but include the "sizzle/feels" of the vision of touring in what is almost a motorcycle (my definition). Secondly, while the screen and paint are not as sharp as they would in person (no way around that - I think), they come across better than you may think. I could see all the details on the screen and some of the metallic fleckes in the paint (perhaps the viewing device is a factor). Looking forward to the next one; so put in the good word with Extreme Torque Motorsports ( I like the name!) and tell them we watch, so keep providing machines for reviews. 🙂

[@SpyderRichard]

Excellent review really showing all the features of a great touring machine. I own a 2022 Sea-to-Sky and I simply love it! I've traveled solo to New Brunswick and I also did that trip with my wife and we had plenty of space for all our gear. Whether on a secondary highway or the Trans-Canada highway, it is a very smooth ride, very steady and very comfortable.

[@DeirdreLofton]

How do you change the mileage to reflect how many miles you have remaining until you need fuel?

[@olegyefremov2583]

Thanks for another great video. I think this is for a person who likes to ride snowmobiles in the winter, and this in the summer.

[@charleyhough4355]

I am looking to buy a Spyder RT Limited, but now I'm wondering why not spend a couple thousand dollars more and get the Sea to Sky. Great video. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@patrickviado2839]

Excellent video Peter. Thank you I watched all your reviews on the CAN-AM. I currently own a 2020 Ryker Rally, but want to upgrade to either the 2024 F3T or RT model. A lot of great info. Thank u again. Keep up the great videos!

[@AyaWetts]

Every time I ride one of these I have a lot of trouble shifting... because I normally ride a Rebel DCT and in manual shift mode the lever is opposite for shifting to the Spyder. Always get my up/down shift backwards

[@herrtomas6729]

Hi Peter, that looks like fun!

[@Flipnred78]

Some people are stuck on automatic transmission, coming from the Honda rebel automatic it’s OK, but I like the driver engagement of the semi automatic transmission from Can-Am

[@veeman1965]

Hi Peter .. as a person looking to get a Can Am in July I am doing my research. I have watched all your videos on these which as been informative but could you do a Sea to Sky comparison with the F3 Limited Special Series ; Please … personally those are the 2 models I’m debating or indecisive about .

[@Gaddman01]

Route 99 is a provincial highway in British Columbia were the inspiration for this model comes from

[@PeterLoweOne]

Perfect. That's what I kind of thought, thanks for letting me know.

[@carlostrujillo4750]

What is the price range?

[@spartan2supernova152]

So today me and my wife looked at the 2024 can am spider sea to sky and we are planning to get one in the next 4 to 5 week if not sooner! I have to say this I have a drone business and wanted something that was good on gas but didn’t want a car or truck so I decided on this and I love taking rides on country roads and inner city rides and I feel this is the best ride for me also it has lots of room for my drones and I have realtors that I do photography for and know this would turn heads! Im looking forward to getting this and will let you know what I think about it soon!

[@brockwalseth]

Can you turbo it? I have it, but with a passenger, getting onto a 70 mph interstate, would have liked to see either turbo or 1500cc+

[@JamieFalzon-j3u]

After watching your video on the RT Limited I came to the same conclusion as you and thought the Sea to Sky is much better value at that price point. One thing I’d note is that the passenger arm rests are an additional add-on and make the passenger hand warmers useless so I decided not to go with them. The other part that’s a little disappointing is that the Apple Car Play is not available just yet but is expected to be a software upgrade over wifi once available. This is a fantastic vehicle though. Not a motorcycle but more of a road ready ATV. Tons of fun. I just love it!!

[@muhupalam2755]

Yes, the open air view is what makes it different from a car. Motorcycles have the additional ease of crossing a broken path or “going” off road. I think I saw Harley Electraglide with a swing down traffic /lowspeed upright small safety wheel. Well done Harley. I would have expected Honda to do it first but such a fantastic feature is something bike manufacturers need to take seriously. Keeping driver/rider upright in the event of an emergency is more practical than a collision suit. Manufacturers need to be “bold” despite innovation and technology should never face any inertia beyond a comments section debate … lol 😢

[@screemberry]

I took possession of my STS yesterday. No buyer’s remorse as it is so much fun to ride. My wife too loves the ride and is already coming up with reasons to use it instead of our car. I live in Vancouver and the sea to sky highway is a dream for motorcycle riders. I look forward to taking its namesake up to Whistler and back.

[@PeterLoweOne]

Thanks so much for sharing this! I love hearing stories like this!

[@DeirdreLofton]

How do you add navigation to the spyder when you have an android phone?

[@JUDYTAYLOR-g4o]

We bought our 2024 sea to sky in March of this year. It has been in the shop for 5 weeks now. For lack of BRP providing parts needed to fix. Parts are on back order estimated delivery 12/20/24. Our bike will be in the shop for 5 months. Love the bike, very disappointed in BRP. But yet production for the 2025 moves forward !

[@ianvanson652]

hi fab bike can I get one to drive over the sea to Skye where I live

[@thomasditchey1864]

Will Waze come up on the touch screen for navigation or is it only visible on your phone?

[@PeterLoweOne]

Once CarPlay is fully activated, Waze will work as it usually does.

[@davek7828]

Excellent review! I am wondering about the Apple CarPlay availability. Can you comment on this?

[@PeterLoweOne]

I was under the impression that it was working now. Several commenters tell me that they don't think it is. I'll have to look into this further.

[@troy9er]

Nice review. I have a 2021 F -3S and love it.

[@A_Son_Of_Yahuah]

Awesome 👌🏽 video. What's the top speed on these Can-Am's❓️

[@youriantipov6732]

Can you travel around the world with this type of vehicle? (Iran Pakistan, India, Asia...) Could you please tell me?

[@dimitrispratling4785]

Pete you are an amazing reviewer and thank you for what you do but may I make one teeny weeny suggestion? You have a tendency to say, "I'm going to show you that later" when you point something out, Why not just show us the thing we now have to wait later to see now? Your comparison videos have even more "see it laters" in it. If you are doing comparison review one of the bikes and as you review the other one point out the differences, your viewer's attention span can keep up I promise you. Keep up the good work, we thank you and take care.

[@PeterLoweOne]

I appreciate the feedback. I'll see what I can do, but sometimes there's a reason that I say that. I'm always looking to improve, so I hear what you're saying.

[@MarcusTurner-db5qv]

Nice video nice review Peter

[@veronicawright7348]

Does it have gps.

[@deidredorsey1326]

Thank you for this video.

[@gerrywood5325]

One thing you haven't mentioned in any of your reviews concerning the Spyder RT Limited or the Spyder Sea to Sky is the fact that you can install a towing package which includes the towbar, and wiring harness, you must purchase your own trailer ball, on the Spyder that DOES NOT affect the warranty. A trailer is great if, like me, I have to carry a wheelchair wherever I go, and if you have a spouse who likes to pack everything except the kitchen sink. Can Am has a trailer you can purchase to go with your Spyder if you want, or there are a number of other trailers on the market that the Spyder will pull with ease; your fuel mileage will be affected by a trailer. The maximum allowable weight allowed in the trailer is 400 pounds.

[@PeterLoweOne]

You're right, I do need to do a better job of covering that. I did mention that you can tow with it in one of my reviews, but it deserves to have more detail. I'll try to include it in the next RT review that I do. Thanks for watching.

[@JCRecline]

@@PeterLoweOne Nice walk around review Peter, you cover so many small details, now I want one. Guess it's time to trade in my 22 Ryker Rally? I did hear you mention that it's set up to tow a trailer and that Can Am has one that works with the Sea to Sky model. I may have missed it, but I didn't hear you mention that it has reverse, a very nice feature on a machine that weighs this much. Keep up the great work!

[@dimitrispratling4785]

To anyone that says this ISN'T a motorcycle NHTSA has heard your complaint and soundly disagrees with you ( Please look it up their definition for yourself) and so does the DMV which is why owners of such motorcycles are issued MOTORCYCLE license plates. That's a beautiful bike, I currently have a deposit on one. Waiting to see in person the 24 AND the equally gorgeous 2025 before I pull the trigger, and the trigger WILL be pulled. 😊

[@love-life77738]

these video make me want one

[@MarcusTurner-db5qv]

Where is the reverse button at

[@PeterLoweOne]

Reverse has changed from using the reverse button to using the downshift button. I'll demonstrate that in a future video.

[@MarcusTurner-db5qv]

What's the asking price

[@PeterLoweOne]

I almost never put pricing in my videos as they can change, bit if you click the link in the description, they'll list up to date pricing.

[@peterhancock2635]

I find it interesting that all the dealership reviews talk about it being Apple car play compatible but fail to mention it does not work at the moment

[@PeterLoweOne]

I was under the impression that it now works....

[@JamieFalzon-j3u]

@@PeterLoweOneit definitely does not work. You’re very well versed on this vehicle and would be appreciated if you can find out when we can expect the software update?

[@davek7828]

Sure would be nice to know when it’s available. I have a trip coming up soon and need it for navigation.

[@tonyrowland9216]

Taking delivery this pm.

[@deidredorsey1326]

Yes, Sea to Sky is Number 99.

[@PeterLoweOne]

Awesome. Thanks for letting me know!

[@brockwalseth]

Passenger arm wrests are not standard

[@PeterLoweOne]

I think they are on the Sea to Sky. I was told this had not accessories on it. They aren't standard on lower trims.

[@brockwalseth]

@@PeterLoweOne I have a 24 S2S, it only has passenger handles to hang on to. The arm rests are still optional even though for $33k, should come standard.

[@brockwalseth]

@@PeterLoweOne however it did come with an extra front trunk cover which I thought was a great idea.

[@gromitdaddy]

Tesla got "Frunk" from this :D

[@petekeller1424]

Forgot to show how to get into reverse.

[@PeterLoweOne]

I know. I'll have to do that in the next one.

[@Novus_Ordo_Conditor]

WE ARE STILL WAITING 4WD VERSION!!!!!!

[@PeterLoweOne]

Ummm 4wd? 🤔

[@hoangha202]

like 👍

[@cdd7012]

It’s means chocolate either way

[@PeterLoweOne]

Does it? Interesting. What language is that?

[@ChrisEpler]

Rear radio controls removed in 2024, STILL no Apple CarPlay.

[@californiahikingadventures2249]

It’s a motorized cycle 🤣

[@PeterLoweOne]

Sure. I just call it fun.
