Not on the Spyder, it’s semiautomatic with padels on the left handle + for upshift and - for downshifting. But when braking it downshifting automaticly. The Ryker model have some type of automatic or it’s a variomatic with a beltdrive that sits between two wheels and it climbs from small to big and gives the bike some type of automatic without a clutch.
To add to this excellent info: the clutch is controlled by a computer, so there is no manual clutch lever on the SE6 transmission equipped Spyders. You do have to upshift by pressing the + paddle. The computer won't upshift for you. It's really easy to figure out even if you've never used a manual shift transmission of any kind. If you have shifted your own gears, it's super simple. When I first got the Spyder, I would reach for the clutch lever that wasn't there and my toes went looking for the shift lever. lol Can-Am used to make a normal manual motorcycle transmission (SM6) on Spyders. It had the usual left hand lever clutch and left foot toe shifter. All Spyders now come with the SE6 semi-auto transmission.
Can you do a ride through Crystal Lake or Cary?
Thanks
I sure can. I'm regularly riding around there. I have plenty of video in the pipeline. Haven't had time to edit lately.
Do they have an automatic model
