2025 Can-Am Canyon First Look

Adventure-bike attitude for Can-Am’s latest three-wheeler.

Can-Am’s Canyon has serious ADV vibes, especially the fully optioned Redrock model seen here.Can-Am

Given the off-road heritage of the Can-Am brand—from the motocross bikes of the 1970s to the ATVs that reintroduced the name in the ‘90s—it’s surprising that it has taken more than 15 years since the introduction of the Spyder three-wheeler to create a true go-anywhere version of that machine. Now it’s here in the form of the Can-Am Canyon which packs the same 1,330cc triple as the latest Spyder models but in a high-riding adventure model with long-travel suspension and rugged styling.

Adventure bikes have been a global phenomenon over the last 20 years, accelerating to the top of sales charts in dozens of countries, buoyed largely by the remarkable popularity and longevity of BMW’s boxer GS models, and it only takes a glance to see that the Canyon riffs on the same styling cues popularized by that market. The boxy luggage, hooded headlights, and slab-sided body panels with exposed fasteners all have overtones of current adventure bike trends, as well as the latest generations of pickup trucks and Jeeps.

Three trim levels are available on the 2025 Can-Am Canyon: Standard ($25,299), XT ($29,799), and Redrock ($32,299).Can-Am

It’s not just a façade, though, as the Canyon’s long-travel suspension points to some genuine ability away from the asphalt, and with decades of ATV and side-by-side experience to draw on there’s no reason to doubt that Can-Am’s engineers have the knowledge to make it work. While the smaller Ryker Rally hinted at the possibilities of an adventure-style reverse trike, the Canyon dwarfs it in both performance—115 hp, 1,330cc triple versus the Ryker Rally’s 82 hp, 900cc version—and dimensions. The front suspension offers 10.2 inches of travel, double that of the Spyder and almost three inches more than the Ryker Rally, and 9.2 inches at the rear. It’s also bigger in every dimension, at least 328 pounds heavier, and offers seating for two where the Ryker Rally is a solo experience.

Can-Am is offering three versions of the Canyon: Standard, XT, and Redrock. All use the same engine but get different equipment levels and suspension. The base model starts at $25,299, lacks luggage and weighs 996 pounds dry, with Sachs shocks front and rear. Step up to the XT for $29,799 and you gain 31.7 gallons of storage in aluminum top and side cases, pushing the weight up to 1,036 pounds dry. Other XT equipment includes heated grips and a self-leveling rear shock, still from Sachs, with air preload adjustment. Dig deeper into your pockets for the Redrock model, starting at $32,299, and the main change is the adoption of semi-active KYB Smart-Shox suspension at both ends, plus a backup camera—like the Spyder, the Canyon’s six-speed semi-auto transmission includes a reverse ratio. A Redrock-only satin green paint scheme sets it aside from the Standard and XT models, which come only in satin silver.

All the models share the same Brembo four-pot front calipers on 270mm discs, with a one-piston caliper at the rear and ABS as standard. Standard equipment includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen, complete with Apple CarPlay and Can-Am’s own BRP Connect software, offering control over four riding modes, or five on the Redrock which also has a personalized custom setting. There’s an adjustable screen as standard, plus Can-Am’s LinQ system to fit luggage and accessories without tools via more than 20 attachment points. Like the Spyder, the Canyon also has a substantial 400-pound towing capacity.

There are few updates to the Ryker and Spyder models for 2025.Can-Am

Changes elsewhere in Can-Am’s three-wheeler range for 2025 include a backup camera, as used on the Canyon Redrock, on the Spyder F3 Limited Special Series ($30,699) and Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky ($33,199), and as an optional accessory on other models with the 10.25-inch touchscreen. The F3 Limited Special Series also gets new 16-spoke wheels, and there are new color options throughout the range including Mineral Blue on the Spyder RT ($26,799), RT Limited ($30,699), F3-T ($24,800), and F3 Limited. The line-topping F3 Limited Special Series and RT Sea-to-Sky get new exclusive colors of British Green Metallic and Dusk Metallic, respectively. Moving to the more affordable Ryker, the only 2025 updates are four new additions to the already extensive range of panel kit colors: Atlantis Gold, Cyber Orange, Urban Blue, and Moka Plaid.
