#REDIRECT [[Can-Am Spyder]] {{R from merge}} |
||
The '''Can-Am Spyder''' roadster is a brand new vehicle made by [[Bombardier Recreational Products]] that was released in 2007. Similar in layout to a modern [[snowmobile]], the Spyder uses an [[ATV]]-like chassis with a single rear drive wheel, and two wheels in front for steering. The main feature of the vehicle is a stability system or VSS that monitors the vehicle at all time and intervenes in case one of the front wheels lifts of the ground (It cuts the engine and applies the brake on the outer wheel) A team of more than 30 engineers, technicians, designers, mechanics and buyers worked full time in [[Valcourt, Quebec]] to realise this project, this combination of expertise helped create the Spyder as it is known today.<br /> |
|||
==Features== |
|||
The motorcycle-like price and performance of the Spyder is combined with a significant set of safety features, such as [[traction control | traction]] and [[stability control]], [[antilock brakes]], and the stability of a three-wheel layout. In most US states the Spyder is licensed as a motorcycle, though it is much easier to achieve proficiency and confidence with the Spyder than with a motorcycle. |
|||
Although there are presently no saddlebags or topbox available (according to the company's web site), there is a luggage space under a "hood" at the front of the vehicle that is big enough for two helmets. |
|||
The Spyder also comes with additional convenience features such as simplified braking (front and rear brakes are both actuated by the same foot pedal), a true reverse gear, power steering, power assisted clutch, and an optional electronic automatic transmission.<ref name=c&d>{{cite journal |url=http://www.caranddriver.com/previews/12485/first-drive-2008-brp-can-am-spyder.html |title=First Drive: 2008 BRP Can-Am Spyder - Previews |journal=Car and Driver |date=February, 2007}}</ref><ref name=edmunds>{{cite web |url=http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/FirstDrives/articleId=119581 |
