Entry-level three-wheelers receive significant updates2027 can am ryker first lookCan-Am announced significant updates to its entry-level Ryker three-wheel range, including a new base engine, a stiffer chassis, updated electronics, and sharper styling. For 2027, the line-up consists of the standard Ryker, the Ryker Sport, and Ryker Special Series premium package that will only be offered for one year.Visually, the most notable change is to the frontal bodywork, with the upper portion jutting significantly farther forward compared to the previous model, giving the 2027 Ryker a bulkier, more aggressive presence. The headlight unit draws inspiration from the headlights of Can-Am's electric Origin and Pulse motorcycles, with a similarly shaped bracket on either side of the LEDs.Other visual changes include a new single seat design and restyled wheels with removable aerodynamic hub caps. The previous Ryker offered a wide selection of body panels, making it easy for customers to customize their three-wheelers, and that remains an option for 2027, with the new bodywork available in a selection of colors and graphics. The new Ryker can be further customized with a choice of wrap kits matching the individual panel options.2027 can am ryker first lookSince Can-Am first debuted the Ryker in 2019, it offered a choice of two engines, a 600cc parallel-Twin Rotax 600 ACE, and a 899cc ACE inline-Triple. For 2027, Can-Am is replacing the Twin-cylinder engine with a detuned version of the Triple, claiming a peak output of 52 hp at 7,250 rpm and 39.7 lb-ft. at 5,000 rpm. While the new engine offers a slight bump in power and torque over the 600, which claimed an output of 50 hp at 7,300 rpm and 36.7 lb-ft. at 5,000 rpm, Can-Am says the ACE-6 produces similar performance to the older engine at lower engine speeds, which translates to lower vibrations and a quieter ride.2027 can am ryker first lookFor those seeking higher performance, the Ryker Sport returns with the same engine as last year, now renamed the Rotax 900 ACE-9. It shares the same 900cc displacement as the base engine, but with a peak output of 80 hp at 8,250 rpm and 58.3 lb-ft. at 6,750 rpm.AdvertisementAdvertisementTo improve handling, Can-Am increased the rigidity of the chassis and reinforced the steering system. Can-Am also updated the Vehicle Stability System (VSS), which combines the anti-lock braking, traction control and stability control systems.2027 can am ryker first lookOther changes include a new 5-inch color display, all-new handlebar-mount controls, and a range of accessories including luggage, windscreens, additional lighting, and a new audio system.Pricing starts at $9,999 for the standard Ryker, with the Ryker Sport starting at $13,499.
