BRP Unveils 2016 Can-Am Spyder F3-S Special Series at Sturgis

BRP’s 2016 Can-Am Spyder F3-S Special Series in Triple Black is the first model to be unveiled from the 2016 Can-Am Spyder model year line-up, and it features the muscular design and cruising-riding position of the Can-Am Spyder F3, coupled with exclusive Triple Black coloration and graphics, 6-spoke black chrome front wheels and tinted low windshield.

Launched in 2015, the Can-Am Spyder F3 features a low center of gravity and performance-calibrated Vehicle Stability System that provides dynamic handling and cornering, while ensuring control. The Rotax 1330 ACE engine offers the power, torque and signature exhaust note to make every journey exhilarating.

The 2016 Can-Am Spyder F3-S Special Series in Triple Black will feature the Can-Am Spyder performance-driven SE-6 transmission, and will be available in limited quantities starting in January 2016. Pricing will be available this September.

“There is no better place to unveil the first ever Can-Am Spyder F3 Special Series than here at the 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally,” said François Tremblay, director, Global Marketing, Can-Am Spyder. “We have a great deal of current Spyder owners here to help us celebrate, and it is a perfect opportunity to show off this eye-catching new model to such a huge crowd of motorcyclists.”
