2022 Can-AmOn-RoadExperience Canada
Discover the Spirit of the Open Road
A look back at the 2022 Can-Am On-Road season in Canada, when riders across the country got close to the Ryker and Spyder families and discovered what three wheels, two up front, can do on a Canadian road.
The 2022 overview
A season built around the open road
The 2022 Can-Am On-Road Experience Canada belongs to a broader idea that BRP's Can-Am On-Road brand has long promoted: let people discover three-wheel riding by seeing, sitting on and learning about the vehicles in person, instead of only reading a spec sheet.
This archive revisits that 2022 moment. It explains what made the three-wheel format different, which models defined the year, and why the experience resonated with Canadian riders, from seasoned motorcyclists to people who had never twisted a throttle before.
Because this is a historical archive, nothing here is a registration page. The 2022 season is over; what remains is the story, the vehicles and the riding ideas worth knowing.
Read about the experience concept
Canadian on-road adventure
Made for the roads of this country
The Can-Am name traces back to BRP, headquartered in Valcourt, Quebec. That Canadian root makes a Canadian on-road season feel like a homecoming, and the country's geography gives three-wheelers plenty to work with.
Short, intense seasons
Canadian riding seasons reward planning. Long summer evenings and crisp shoulder-season days are prime time for a relaxed three-wheel day out.
Touring by nature
Large distances between towns suit vehicles designed with comfort, storage and stable highway manners in mind, exactly where the Spyder RT is aimed.
Three-wheel highlights
Why three wheels feel different
Can-Am on-road vehicles use a Y-architecture: two wheels at the front, one driven wheel at the rear. That single design decision shapes everything about how they ride.
Planted at a stop
No need to balance the vehicle with your feet at lights or in traffic. It stands on its own three wheels.
Electronic assistance
The 2022 Ryker and Spyder models include BRP's Vehicle Stability System, combining stability control, traction control and ABS.
One brake pedal
A single foot pedal applies braking to all three wheels, a different habit from the hand lever used on most motorcycles.
Open-air feel
You still ride in the open, wind and scenery included, but with a stance that many riders describe as reassuring.
Featured models
The Ryker and Spyder families
Three vehicle families defined the 2022 Can-Am on-road range. Each one targets a different rider, from the first-timer to the long-distance tourer.

Performance & freedom
Rotax power, three-wheel confidence
Every 2022 Can-Am on-road vehicle is powered by a Rotax ACE engine, the in-house engine family from BRP. Performance was always part of the pitch, but it is paired with the stability of the Y-architecture and electronic rider aids.
The result is a riding feeling that sits between a motorcycle and a convertible: open, engaging and quick, yet calm when the road gets unfamiliar.

Canadian riding community
More than a ride: a community
Three-wheel riding attracts a remarkably wide crowd: couples who want to tour together, long-time motorcyclists looking for something new, and newcomers who were never drawn to two wheels.
Experiences like the 2022 season gave that community a common meeting point. Conversations about routes, gear and riding tips often lasted longer than the rides themselves.
Riders of every background
The three-wheel format lowers the intimidation factor for many people, which keeps the community open and diverse.
Shared knowledge
Experienced owners routinely pass on what they've learned about touring, maintenance and riding technique.
