Can-Am Ryker Rally Edition!! • Rally Version Test Ride..! | BikeReviews

[@jrsoper6524]

I got my Ryker rally, just driving around on the grass in the Ozark Mountains, our land and my neighbors land. They are crazy powerful, barely give it gas and it flies.

[@ShawnSmoak]

Very cool, have fun..! Thanks JR!!

[@VinCode17]

I got a rally too.

[@Supreme-Emperor-Mittens]

*Another Can-Am ride ...* *AWESOME - MUST WATCH !!* 11:18 - Thank you for calling it a BIKE - and not a "snowmobile on wheels" ... like some of the haters do. I just wish they were sold in my country.

[@BeanieBoyMoto]

They are Definitely a Bike mate & much Safer than a 2 Wheel one!! ;)

[@debicarr9466]

SUPREME EMPEROR MITTENS I agree...it’s a bike👍 I get my Ryker 900 in 2 weeks!!! So pumped as I have not rode a bike in 30 years!🙌🏍🎉

Cool, I'm downunder in Australia!! Greatrydes is another Top Spyder channel, he loves Rykers too!! 👍👍😁😁

[@bunkport2]

In the parts I live a vehicle you straddle and has handle bars is referred to as “bike” just like we refer to a Chevy Tahoe as truck. The thing that gets me is when people say it takes a lot of getting used to riding the spyder or ryker because it’s not two wheels. I always think have you never ridden a four wheeler, it’s the same thing. Great video as always.

[@nickferdinande1646]

I love how you can move the bars and pegs to fit your size.

[@andys623]

I have mobility issues and drive a 2014 Spyder RT-S. I call it a trYke or bike. Yeah, the hater's "snowmobile comments" got old quick, most of those are HD MC (gang) type drivers. But glad most people have enough sense to realize they are awesome in their own way. If I could get a trailer to haul stuff with the Ryker I would get one or trade in.

I just bought this model in Australia and can’t wait to take it out. Thanks for the video.

How does upgrading to the Fox Shocks sold by BRP compare to the stock Rally Shocks that come on the Rally?

[@ShawnSmoak]

Don’t know just yet... We haven’t installed a Fox set yet. I will let you guys know when I do..! Thanks!

[@brucemartinlager6553]

Hey Shawn! I have been watching your Ryker videos about 6 months now and I really enjoy them. I am now in my mid-50's and due to some medical issues two-wheeling is no longer an option. So thanks in part to you, today I had the joy of bringing home a 2020 Can Am Ryker Rally! This thing as an absolute hoot to ride (drive?). I am still getting used to how she corner,s as it is very un-motorcycle-ish (if that is even a word). The way the power comes on takes a little getting used to also but I am confident that I will master it soon. I added the windshield, passenger seat and backrest, a nice cover, and a locking gas cap. I just ordered the parking brake lock and a billet parking brake lever. I also got some nice floorboards which I will install once I have a little time. My wife was impressed so much that she is thinking about taking the Can Am Rider course to get her license. Thank you for your friendly, laid-back, and informative videos!

[@VinCode17]

are you still riding the Ryker?

[@Skunk72]

I am really not a fan of the 3 wheelers but, for some reason, I think a day with one of those would change my tune... Those things look fun!

Love the Ryker Videos. Hope you keep making them

[@Doug_Morgan]

I can't say I like them, but I bet there will be a lot of people that do. Who knows, when the day comes that I can't ride a bike anymore I would like something like that over a trike. By having the single wheel at the rear it makes them inherently stable vs a trike or sidecar that are very unstable. Great review as always Shawn.

[@VinCode17]

lol that day will come for sure.

[@fredericrmerchant1355]

So are we going to have to enlarge the garage at home?

[@harryparmley1193]

Ha! I did, as a matter of fact, and admit a Ryker and a Spyder take up more room than a couple of hogs..!

You’re gonna need a bigger garage.

To get an idea of the bikes stature could you park it next to a compact car and your Truck, I am curious to see how low you are versus traffic.

[@jb117354]

The Rally Edition is a beautiful machine. I'm seriously thinking about buying one. Where I live, in Lakeside, AZ., you can only use it part of the year. I don't think it will do well in snowy conditions.

900 is the way.

[@daveturcotte1643]

How do you think this bike would be on longer trips? Would it be comfortable for an hour or two? Can it sustain speeds of 65+ for longer periods? Great vid, I'm convinced I want the Rally for sure!

[@savagemako17]

Great videos as always. Been following for years from around the times of your sportster and Suzuki DR650 days. Have you relocated? I haven't been by in awhile so I seemed to have missed something. At any rate. These machines always look a bit skittish. Could an overreaction on the highway at 70 get you into trouble pretty quickly? Also, since the CVT is essentially an ATV or snowmobile transmission, is it suitable for long range high speed cruising? By their nature, ATV's and snowmobiles would almost never see these kind of conditions. It's still just a belt, right?

[@cwilsonsr7263]

I read that it doesn't have power steering like the spyder. Is it easy to make turns?

[@ShawnSmoak]

No power steering, but you’d never know it wasn’t there, if you didn’t know otherwise... Turning is very easy and smooth. Thanks!

[@dmmaid7917]

Hey Shawn, how many km to a tank for the Ryker Raller edition...

[@powerman1972]

Shawn how tall are you? I am interested in one of these bikes but not sure how they will fit a bigger guy. No dealerships in my area will be carrying the Ryker, i would have to drive 3 hours away to sit on one. I am 6' -1" and about 280lbs.

[@woofersd2383]

Thank you for the response. Still trying to learn, more about these Rykers. The Gal I will be talking to about these Rykers, will be riding some longer distances, (bout 400 miles one way) but mostly around her town, and Black Hills area.

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

I got ya..! It will be interesting to see what the comfort levels will be on longer Ryker rides... I have a gut feeling that it will be a lot like a Harley Sportster or Indian Scout, they’re both very capable of doing a world tour, but won’t be the most comfortable bikes to do it on. That being said, everyone’s comfort threshold is different..! Once I get my hands on one, I’ll be testing these kinds of things... Thanks again!

[@woofersd2383]

I have a feeling, it will still ride better, than her, Heritage lowered 3 inches. Bugger was a brick to ride. Thank you so much. I’ll let her know about the Ryker.

[@LtColPenguin]

Is the Rally a good beginner bike or the standard? I did a class over the weekend on a standard but we were in a parking lot the entire time. I’m hooked and want one.

[@2wrdr]

This is not a bike. It is a trike. If you are looking for a motorcycle, buy a motorcycle.

Rally is same as the standard 900 it just has better shocks and it can go off road and I guess more storage space

The Adjustable Suspension looks unreal too, I see Lamont is starting to make parts for the Ryker!! They are Definitely a 3 Wheel Motorcycle, Not a Trike!! Ride Safe mate!! ;)

[@peterwrench4416]

A little pricing mystery for you to ponder Shawn. I went down the coast to get a solid quote on a Rally with the sports screen and luggage top box ride away, $19,990 AusD. Now the Aus dollar will currently get you $1.05 Canadian, gives you an idea of the outrageous Govt taxes we're slugged with here. However! I can get a 2017 Model Spyder Daytona, brand new, no miles for $23,500! Pretty well the same as the US price! The mind boggles!

[@ShawnSmoak]

Dang!!! Thanks Peter!

[@samgab]

I know they're good, for keeping the revs in the sweet spot for balancing engine power and economy, but I really don't like CVT's. They constantly feel like a slipping clutch to me.

[@ShawnSmoak]

There is absolutely zero sense of a slipping clutch with Can-Am's CVT systems..! You need to ride one! Thanks!

[@stoney3398]

I've driven a few different cars with CVTs, and they do feel weird, just like a slipping clutch as you describe. But my Suzuki Burgman 650 feels great - none of that kind of feeling, it just never shifts! Unless you put it into manual shift mode, of course...

[@TheSmoaksVlogs]

Oh yeah, most CVT cars do seem pretty strange feeling... Lol. The Ryker is a lot like your Burgman, but noticeably less initial lag before full engagement. It bites right off idle! If you didn’t know, you’d never realize it even had a CVT trans... It’s a lot like the feel of Honda’s amazing DCT system without the shifting. Thanks again!

In my opinion, I just wish they made a spyder with the ryker seating position. I just don’t really like the style of the ryker compared to the spyder, but the seat is way better and makes you feel more “at one” with the bike on the ryker. TLDR: ryker looks bad but is better seat wise. Spyder looks better but is less comfortable.
