Built around Can-Am's touring motorcycle platform, the 2016 Can-Am Spyder F3-S pairs a 1330 cc (81.2 cu in) liquid-cooled in-line three, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 115 HP (83.9 kW) at 7,250 rpm while maximum torque reaches 130 Nm (95.9 lb-ft) at 5,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 5-speed gearbox and belt final drive. With a specific output of 86.5 HP per liter and a 2,250 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,250 rpm), the engine character is indicating a tractable, stress-free state of tune focused on everyday usability and broad torque delivery.
On the scales, the Spyder F3-S measures 386 kg (851 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.3 HP/kg (3.36 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 737 mm (29 in) seat height — giving shorter riders and urban commuters confident flat-foot reach at traffic stops, combined with a 1,709 mm (67.3 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 27-liter (7.1 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
