The 2026 Can-Am lineup returns mostly unchanged from 2025, but take a closer look at the MSRPs of the Pulse and Origin motorcycles and you’ll be in for a pleasant surprise. With a major price decrease for both bikes, Can-Am continues the push to become the leading name in the electric game. Additionally, the three-wheel Can-Am lineup receives some updates in terms of color options and finishes.
2026 Can-Am Electric Motorcycles
The Pulse and Origin have been on the market for less than a year. While many who’ve tried the bikes have enjoyed them, including our reviewer Rob Lieback who tested the bikes last year, potential customers have shared hesitations regarding the bikes’ prices in relation to other EVs. To address those concerns, Can-Am has announced that the MSRPs of both electric motorcycles will be dropped by $3,000, which Can-Am hopes will make them more practical choices.
The 2026 Can-Am Pulse roadster will be available for $10,999, and the 2026 Can-Am Origin adventure bike will be available for $11,499.
The price decrease was the only change announced for the electric motorcycles, which are powered by an 11-kW Rotax E-Power motor with an 8.9-kWh battery. Setting these electric bikes apart from other EV motorcycles on the market are their liquid-cooling system (manages heat for battery, inverter, onboard charged, and motor) and the enclosed chain case (reduces noise and requires minimal maintenance). The motor produces a claimed 47 hp and 53 lb-ft of torque. Claimed range for the Origin is 90 miles in the city and 71 miles in mixed riding, and claimed range for the Pulse is 100 miles city and 80 miles mixed.

2026 Can-Am Three-Wheel Updates
The Can-Am three-wheeled lineup receives a few minor changes. One change for the 2026 model year is a move to simplify the color options available for the Spyder RT and F3. Can-Am claims that this will ensure that dealers have the color option that the customer wants when the customer enters the showroom.
Some colors return from 2025, including Mineral Blue Satin (RT, RT Limited, F3-T, F3 Limited), Vegas White Satin (RT Sea-to-Sky), Carbon Black (RT Limited), and Monolith Black Satin (F3-S, F3 Limited). New color options include Circuit Yellow Metallic (F3-S), Pearl White (F3 Limited, RT, RT Limited), and Mars Red Metallic (F3 Limited Special Series, RT Sea-to-Sky).
The trim options have also been simplified. In the 2025 lineup, several color options of a particular model were available in platinum or dark trims at different price points, causing confusion. For 2026, each color option of a model is matched to only one trim.
The Spyder RT Sea-to-Sky previously came with a color-matched rear panel that could replace the top case. In a survey, Can-Am found that 71% of owners never removed the top case to replace it with the rear panel. Since it was so rarely used, the rear panel will be replaced with an exclusive vehicle cover with an STS logo. The Spyder F3 Limited Special Series also gets an upgrade, now coming with LED fog lights for better visibility.
Can-Am also announced an improvement to the fit and finish on RT parts. The texture of the glovebox and console have been upgraded on all Spyder RT packages to ensure better durability and to make them easier to clean.
In Ryker news, three new color panel options have been added: Crimson Rush, Peachy Frenzy, and Cotton Candy. Everything else returns from the previous model year.

We have a 2017 can am RT Limited chrome edition we love it and are wanting a new one however the price for new or used are very high,that is where we stop talking about a new can am spyder $30,000 for a basic spider is just something we simply can’t afford. Eventhough we really want to purchase a new one like I said prices are just to high and only going higher that’s very disheartening to want a great motorcycle but not being able to afford it.
And yet still no upgrade to support Android Auto. Not everyone likes or uses Apple. Love the new ’25 features like the new display but I’ll stick with my ’20 RTL for now I guess. Also wish there was a larger engine available to allow towing at least 600 pounds so I could get a decent pop up camping trailer.
