Great overview of the Ryker Rally. I would highly recommend at least a day of instruction on any 3WMC to develop some skills that you my not even consider in a car. The Rykers and the Spyders are not motorcycles, but neither are they cars. They require their own skill sets that while not complex can save your neck in tricky situations. The Ryker and the Spyder bring a level of fun and enjoyment to open air riding that is unequalled.
I thought this to be an excellent review of the Ryker. I learned a lot of new things that you went over in the video! I have a Ryker 900 Ace and this review gives me even more insight! Thanks for the time and effort to review the Ryker and for your dedication to review for the publics knowledge! RideWithPeace.
I bought mine 3 months ago now. It's a fun toy. I never did any 3wheel training per say but I have taken the motorcycle course and driven for years. I did practice a little on back roads and parking lots, but it was easy to get used to. Tons of fun.
I do not know if you will see this comment but this video has opened my eyes to the Ryker in comparison to the Spyder , I am coming off a Hayabusa and no longer interested in 2-wheeled sport bikes , had to sell the Hayabusa due to medical illness and want to ride again, so 3-wheels i am leaning towards, i see you have not produced any vids in a long time , hope all is well with you, great content and i did subbed ,HAGD
I like the Ryker because of my background on a motorcycle. By no means a Hayabusa but then NO bike is. I am a BRP trained instructor and the Ryker is by far my preferred 3WMC of all I have ridden.
I purchased a 2022 900 ace in May and I love it! Thanks again for the videos, they were helpful. I do agree that the ease of operation could lead to some having premature confidence. I was looking at the Rally version as well, but the only appealing aspect was the suspension. A lot of people say it's night and day difference to the standard 900, so I'll look into the cost. Being 6'2" and 270, the 900 definitely has enough power to get going, but I agree with the seat becomes more annoying the longer one rides. Have you had any experience with the Solo Driver Comfort Seat? I know it's a good bit bigger, but would you know if it is more comfortable than the 900 standard stock counterpart?
Anything will be more comfortable than the stock seat. Bigger the better. What is equally important is the kind of pants you were. Jeans or any casual clothes offer no padding whereas motorcycle pants quite often do making longer rides more comfortable.
I bought a 2022 Ryker over a month ago and I'm loving it, just read on a Facebook page that the 2022 are being recalled for a steering problem and are unsafe to ride, called the dealer straight away and he confirmed this, I've been told not to ride the Ryker and I will be contacted with further information as it comes available.
@@VinCode17 I'm in Northern Ireland so it might take a while for Can Am to send the new bolt, time will tell 🤷♀️ By the end of September that's our good weather over so small window of opportunity to enjoy my new Ryker. Fingers crossed Can Am are quick to sort out the problem.
@@SuperTopcat333 yeah man, weather is one of the reasons I moved to Florida last year. The past winter I spent it in shorts riding my Ryker 🤣. I'm sure they'll get it fixed I just hope you can get a little more riding in. Good luck man.
Seriously thinking of this one. I use to ride 2 wheels and now in a wheelchair. This looks like something I could ride with little modification, just move to a hand break.
I haven’t bought one yet, and at this point, I’m going too wait for the 2024 models to come out, and hope they update some of those glaring deficiencies, e.g. LED headlights, and an improved cluster. I am anxious to own one.
Nice and informative video, thanks. Those white wheels also come in black so that would be the option I'd get. Also, I thought for 2022 that front frunk now comes with a lock as standard(?) I also believe the front frunk is insolated, which is a change as it was only an option before. Correct me if I'd wrong of course. Cheers!
I'm not much for riding anything in traffic, give me a rural small town venue any day. So, what is your perspective on taking this across the country, say from Washington State to Key West riding both interstate and secondary roads? Not a sprint per se, but more of a leisurely tour... Interesting review, thanks for doing it.
I’ve been looking at the Spyder and the Ryker, I own a 570 Outlander and don’t have a lot of motorcycle experience beside crashing 😂 but would you say it handles more similarly to an ATV?
@@leeridefar ok, yeah that’s what I had thought it was similar to was a snow mobile, I don’t have any experience on one and don’t live in a region that gets major snowfall which is kinda the reason for me being interested in a Ryker or Spyder.
@@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606 i have minimal motorcycle experience and recently took the can-am course at msf. I’ve never ridden one before this course but the Ryker has no power steering and rides like a 4 wheeler. The spyder is button shift manual (semi-automatic) so you have to upshift, but you don’t have to downshift due to braking. The spyder also has power steering. I was told the spyder is more like a car.
The 2022 Sport & Rally does have an electronic frunk lock. It's most likely not plugged in. Mfged in Canada & Mexico. My 2019 600 Mexico, 2022 Sport Canada.
I am thinking take Can-Am class because of my bike its 3 wheels and it automatic it 07 Piaggio mp3 250ie and when covid came out I got very sick and of side effects makes me tired! Lee RideFar
I'm in Australia when I saw the promo's for the 2022 last year loved it so ordered one and paid for it still waiting for it to turn up delay after delay I would be bloody disappointed if it does not come out here with cruise control
In the manual it did say cruise control is not available in Russia or Australia. Not sure why but it would be related to government regulations. That said… I’m sure there is a work around…
Just ordered one Gordon. (heritage white) I was definitely told it has cruise control. 100%. I am awaiting the NEWER 2022/2023 model/version. I DO NOT want their CURRENT model that they have, which I think is a 2019, 2020 or 2021 model? I think the price increase of $1500, to $25,500. (AUD) To be confirmed. Hopefully It will arrive this year!?!? I can't wait. Purchased a few mods too. Regards. (Melb. Vic.)
@@leeridefar thank you I’m trying that now and thank you for your videos I’m trying to find a ryker class near me but all are far from my house. I love it I just wish the dealer didn’t break stuff when they put it together they even cracked the front panels where they overlapped and tryed to hide it I would have never seen it if I did t need to unplug the battery
( brake, NOT break ) WHY is your brake stuck. It does sound like something mechanical. LOOK at it. LOOK into it. Use your brain. It WILL BE something VERY SIMPLE. It is not the Park brake is it??? Have you DISENGAGED the Park Brake???? (left hand side) Regards.
I wanna get a Ryker but I hear about all kind of issues should I be scared to get one or just go ahead and get it if I have problems just did it serviced please help you have a great site I subscribe to you
You’ll always hear about issues with all models of any kind. It gets too much attention. They’re built well worth it to get one. If you’re concerned, buy new or get a used one with less than 10,000kms or miles on it. You’ll enjoy it!
We have owned our Ryker Rallies since spring of 2019 and have not had any issues with either one. We did have a couple of recalls the first year but no other problems.
Can't believe that their customer base is as content with the ergonomics as most Harley riders are with their Harleys😂 the upright lip on the seat is horrid because the forward pegs make it so. The foot brake must be a nightmare to modulate during leans, why not a hand brake? And why cruiser peg positions? Should be continuous, grabby platforms that extend to under the seat so riders can choose, and throw in some bar end stoppers too lest hands slide out at high Gs.
You are correct about the seat. It needs to go. The foot brake is fine and it is adjustable so it works well. Hand brake would be fine too. Pegs are adjustable so they can be moved back so it is an upright position. Bar ends? Never been needed before. Unless your grips are chrome!
bought my 22 ryker back in july love it but it for sure will bite you if you dont respect it i crashed it into a fence while instinctively trying to grab a hand brake almost lost my right eye in the process lessons learned for sure sometimes we gotta do stupid shit to learn
Never tested it to it’s rated top speed of 100mph/160kmh. Never could get it there on the track and on the street it’s difficult as the unevenness of the pavement can really move you around (can am stays planted, your body doesn’t). It’s not comfortable or enjoyable riding and cornering at very high speeds. The complicated physics of three wheels is limiting. Everything between 0-70mph/0-120kph is enjoyable.
Couple things annoy me on the Ryker, the 'security' system that isn't. Unless they've updated it, just about every Ryker key will start another Ryker. The handlebars mount feels really cheap/flimsy. 2-3 of the ones in my class the steering was way off and not right, it just doesn't seem very substantial and considering your life depends upon this connection it does not sit well with me. Display is a bit outdated but for this type of machine it's not a huge deal, less distractions actually.
I agree the handle bar mount doesn’t have the feeling of quality. Most Rykers I notice have a slight tilt to them. As far as the keys go they are all coded differently. You cannot start other Rykers with the same key.
The Rally is a waste of money because it has things that 99.9% of people don't need. Like hand guards, skid plates and "off road" tires that will wear faster than the other tires. Who is actually taking it off road? And those wheels are disgusting in my opinion. Might be better in black if available, with black bars, but white is yuk.
Black is an option, even the wheels. The off road options are the same as most SUVs, especially Range Rover. Designed for off road but they’ll never see dirt.
I'm sorry, but those wheels are just butt-ugly They look like oversized plastic lawnmower wheels. If they were on my Ryker, I'd immediately spray paint them anything but white.... I hadn't ridden anything for well over thirty years, before I bought my 2019 Ryker 600 last month. My "instruction class" was picking it up about an hour before dark on a chilly evening, and avoiding freeways by riding it almost a hundred miles on rural back roads, twisty mountain byways and city streets to get it home. Not the most fun way to learn, but I guarandamntee the lessons will stick with you....
The rims are not for everyone but it is an old school rally design. Training on three wheels is limited everywhere but thankfully they are relatively easy to learn. Especially with previous experience with anything that has a twist throttle

If you can manage two wheels, three is no problem. Watch my can am video on preventing crashes to ensure nothing ‘exciting happens’ :D
Third or 4th video, finally got 85hp for the 900, would like to know hp for the 600. 85 sounds pretty good. Great video, thanks!

Please don't tell people they can go off road with these, I love my Rally and it is great for gravel and fire roads , but can't take it "off road".
That’s considered off road. I agree with you anything rougher is not going to work out well for the rider.
I agree. Gravel roads are NOT 'off road.'
Yes I'm loving the new changes. Thinking about buying one. The dash is a bit of a turn off. But it's doable.
I purchased a 2022 900 ace in May and I love it! Thanks again for the videos, they were helpful. I do agree that the ease of operation could lead to some having premature confidence.

Its true. Hopefully Can Am has a quick turn around for that steering bolt.
Call around to other dealers and see if they have the kit in already you might get lucky some where else. #vincode17

Totally doable. I did train one student in a wheelchair. He modified the rear brake and rode no problem.

On the 2022's the frunk is supposed to lock as you remove the key. That's how it is on my 22 Rally
No wheel option in the USA, white only. White is fugly.
@@ryker4124 You can always have them powdercoated for fairly cheap.
@@ryker4124 It is under ACCESSORIES and then look at Tires. Both the US and CAN have this option.
I just bought mine I pick it up Wednesday think I'll take that class after my license test just in case
You have everything to gain from it :)
the trunk does lock. You have to have the ignition on for it to open.

With a good windshield and better seat, you’d enjoy the ride just as much as any motorcycle rider would. They’re reliable and capable machines.
i like the sound of the exhaust, I hate all of those aftermarket ones.
