BRP has expanded its 3-wheel lineup for 2025 with the new Can-Am Canyon, an adventure-ready model with high ground clearance, extra suspension travel, all-road tires, and three trim options: Standard, XT, and Redrock.
The Can-Am Canyon joins the popular Spyder and Ryker model families of on-road 3-wheel vehicles, expanding the range of off-the-beaten destinations and roads – both paved and unpaved – where riders can go.
We tested a Can-Am Ryker Rally last year and loved getting dirty but noted that its limited ground clearance restricted riding to well-groomed unpaved roads, especially since the single rear wheel creates third track that makes it challenging to avoid big rocks and other obstacles in the middle of the path.
The Canyon’s extra ground clearance (6.3 inches vs. 4.8 inches on the Ryker Rally) and long-travel suspension (10.2/9.2 inches front/rear vs. 7.3/7.1 inches on the Ryker Rally) should help it deal with technical terrain.
The Can-Am Canyon is built on the same engine platform as the premium Spyder line, a 1,330cc liquid-cooled Rotax ACE inline-Triple that makes a claimed 115 hp and 96 lb-ft of torque. The engine is mated with a 6-speed semi-automatic, clutch-less transmission with reverse function. On all three trim levels, there are three ride modes – Sport, Rally, and All-Road – that adjust throttle response, stability control, and power steering. The top-spec Redrock trim also adds a Custom mode.
On the Standard and XT trims, the suspension consists of double A-arms with an anti-roll bar and a pair of Sachs Big Bore front shocks and a single Sachs rear shock. The XT trim also adds self-leveling air preload adjustment. The Redrock trim steps up to semi-active suspension that adjusts damping based on conditions, with dual KYB Piggyback Smart Shox in front and a single KYB Smart Shox out back.
All trim levels feature Brembo front brakes, with a 270mm disc and a 4-piston fixed caliper on each wheel. In the rear, there’s a single 270mm disc with a 1-piston caliper and an electronically actuated parking brake. ABS, stability control, traction control, dynamic power steering, and hill hold control are standard safety features on all Canyon models.
The front wheels are 12-spoke Carbon Black alloy rims (16×5 in.), and the rear is a 6-spoke alloy rim (15×7 in.). They are shod with XPS Adventure tires.
Standard features include a 10.25-inch TFT display with BRP connect and Apple CarPlay, cruise control, an adjustable windscreen, a 5.6-inch handlebar riser, LED headlights, a metal radiator grille, a glove box with a USB port, handguards, enduro anti-slip footpegs, a drive belt protector, and integrated LinQ attachment points for adding accessories such as a tankbag, saddlebags, and an adventure plate (rear carrying platform).
The XT trim adds aluminum side and top cases, driver and passenger heated grips, a passenger backrest, comfort footpegs, a front skid plate, a comfort seat, and self-leveling preload. The Redrock trim includes all Standard and XT features as well as a back-up camera and a Custom ride mode.
Seat height is 33.2 inches, fuel capacity is 7.1 gallons, and towing capacity is 400 lb. The Standard model has a curb weight of 996 lb and a load capacity of 656 lb. The XT and Redrock models have a curb weight of 1,036 lb and a load capacity of 617 lb.
The standard 2025 Can-Am Canyon is available in Sterling Silver Satin starting at $25,299. The 2025 Can-Am Canyon XT is available in Sterling Silver Satin starting at $29,799. And the 2025 Can-Am Canyon Redrock is available in Moss Green Satin with orange accents starting at $32,299.

This will be a great machine. I have, among 4 other bikes, a Spyder RT Ltd. That machine is insane. It takes a lot of work to get dialed in but man when you do, very few bikes can keep up with you through the twisties. The Canyon may be even better.
Do you think the higher ground clearance will affect handling negatively?
As a motorcycle rider for most of my life, I don’t understand why you would want one of these you get none of the benefits of a motorcycle (being able to filter and get your knee down) You also have to drive park and sit in traffic like an old car with no climate control and the convertibletop worn out o get that these are very niche vehicle Perhaps they do serve some purpose that I don’t see much like HD another enigma. With so many great real Mortorcyles available I don’t know why you would buy this it’s like a junkier Miata if that’s possible At the very least can we stop trying to pass these things as motorcycles?
A friend who is handicapped has a CanAm and it keeps him in the wind. He’s anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Red Rock model as he wants to do some off-road riding. He rode to Alaska on his GSA back in ’16, prior to getting “side-lined” by serious illness. He does a lot of physical therapy and, perhaps, this new Can Am model will be “just what the doctor ordered.”
You can only filter in six states. Motorcycling is a lot more “then getting your knee down”.
Put a few more years on and you will see differently, but enjoy it while you have it. I now drive a hack and enjoy it into my golden years.
I am surprised that I kinda like this thing. It’s a bump hitter for sure but it does have a certain something that appeals to me. Reminds me a bit of the Honda Bulldog concept bike of a few years back.
At first I was excited about the new option of an adventure style until I saw some of the short comings vs the RT or F3. First, you lose the frunk so to me it’s a glorified Ryker. No stereo but they have an apple play…I’m an android guy so doesn’t do me a bit of good! While the manual adjusted windscreen is a plus, they could have made it electronic like the RT to make it easier to adjust on the fly. Except for ground clearance being 1-1/2 inches more than the Ryker, I’d save my money and get a Ryker rally instead.
