Technical Overview
2016 Can-Am Spyder ST Limited Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown
Built around Can-Am's touring motorcycle platform, the 2016 Can-Am Spyder ST Limited features a 998 cc (60.9 cu in) liquid-cooled v2, four-stroke configuration. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 100 HP (73 kW) at 7,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 104 Nm (76.7 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 100.2 HP per liter and a 2,500 rpm working window between peak torque (5,000 rpm) and peak power (7,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the Spyder ST Limited measures 392 kg (864 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.26 HP/kg (3.92 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 1,714 mm (67.5 in) wheelbase engineered for planted straight-line stability. The 25-liter (6.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
