HID Kits aren’t just for cars!
It combines the open air exhilaration of two-wheeled transport with the stability of four, but it’s not a motorbike and it’s not a convertible sportscar. In fact, direct comparisons with anything else on the highway are largely useless because there’s simply nothing out there like the Can-Am Spyder Roadster.
We’ve followed the development of the Can-AmSpyder Roadster with interest in recent years with its unique Y-architecture and undeniably sharp looks proving an immediate hit.
At a glance The stock standard reaction from those who encounter the Spyder for the first time is simply: “What the hell is that?” Eye-catching is an understatement, and few vehicles in our experience have attracted the level of attention on the street that the Spyder does – particularly when traveling in a six-strong procession. The two-at-the-front Y-architecture is the clear reason for this wow factor, but it’s backed up by slick styling (particularly in profile) and stand-out paintwork.
Electronics The addition of a third wheel also allows for the addition of all sorts of electronic control systems and BRP have thrown everything at the Spyder in this regard, giving it a Stability Control System (SCS), Traction Control System (TCS) and ABS – everything you would expect to find in a modern car. The net effect of these systems is improved handling and safety – ABS allows you to jump on the brakes in a way that’s just not possible on a motorcycle and the TCS minimizes loss of traction at the small-car like rear-wheel, though its still possible to get some movement happening (and have some fun) when exiting a corner. There’s also Dynamic Power Steering designed to adjust the amount of effort required depending on the speed, load and torque.
It may have all those electronics, but how about a set of HID Conversion Kit? HID Kits help your vehicle or in this case your Can-Am significantly see better in the dark and at night. While you see the road better ahead, the added brightness of your headlights help other motorists see you better as well for added safety.
The ride “Forget what you know about riding a motorcycle” was the advice of from BRP’s Duncan Knight before we set off on a 300km ride through the winding coastal roads south of Sydney, Australia. He was right. For a motorcyclist, the way the Spyder behaves – particularly through corners – is counter-intuitive and it has to be treated as a whole new ball-game.
