Since 2008, Can-Am has provided a unique way to experience the open road with its Spyder 3-wheelers. In 2019, Can-Am, a brand of BRP Inc., launched a lighter, more affordable 3-wheeled platform called the Can-Am Ryker, which was aimed at a younger, more diverse audience. More than half of Ryker owners are new to riding, and nearly 35% of Ryker owners are women.

The customized Can-Am Rykers were unveiled at The Shoe Surgeon headquarters near downtown Los Angeles.

As part of its emphasis on inclusivity and welcoming more people into the riding experience, Can-Am launched a custom collaboration with The Shoe Surgeon, a world-renowned Los Angeles-based group of creatives who specialize in the craft of custom shoe making and design. Both brands are dedicated to crafting something unique and authentic, with no compromises, and this collaboration brings that to life.

Together, Can-Am and The Shoe Surgeon created three custom Can-Am Rykers along with three styles of Can-Am-inspired riding shoes that push the limits of creativity to celebrate inclusivity, heritage, and the love of the ride.

Dominic Ciambrone, aka The Shoe Surgeon, introduces the Can-Am Ryker and custom shoes celebrating the “Inclusivity” theme.

Each of the Can-Am Ryker 3-wheel vehicles designed and customized by The Shoe Surgeon is a unique design that is as much a piece of art as it is a thrilling machine. Ultimately, each vehicle will be donated to help raise awareness and money toward fighting intimidation and influencing positive behavior, which is BRP’s global social cause.

Also, the limited run of custom-crafted shoes match the vehicles and borrow design cues from the Can-Am Ryker, including different lines and visual cues. The shoes are purpose-built for riding with an over-the-ankle design, reinforced material, reflective surfaces, and a nonslip sole.

“At Can-Am, we are passionate about creating new experiences and pushing boundaries to break down barriers and welcome more people to discover the open road, the thrill of the ride,” said Anne-Marie LaBerge, chief marketing officer at BRP. “This collaboration with The Shoe Surgeon is an example of our mission to change the face of riding. We are connecting two different communities by designing something unique to help transform a mindset and share our passion for riding.”

“My love for creating goes beyond sneakers. I love all powersports – whether it’s riding motorcycles, 3-wheelers, off-roading, or on water,” said Dominic Ciambrone, aka The Shoe Surgeon. “Partnering with Can-Am is an opportunity to put our touch on a different canvas. Each bike design reflects and honors our brand’s heritage: the power of creating, embracing individuality that celebrates our differences, and finding community through self-expression. This is the heart of our craft and riding.”

The vehicles and riding shoes were created using three distinct themes:

The “Inclusivity” theme unlocks Can-Am’s dedication to promoting inclusivity in its mission to make the open road accessible to all. This custom package uses different leathers and colors as a symbol of diversity. The patchwork design portrays how each person’s individuality plays a role to create something bigger and beautiful.

The “Brand Heritage” theme celebrates Can-Am’s 50-year history of innovation and excellence through premium leather, exotic and textural finish materials, precision craftsmanship, and luxurious details on both machine and riding shoes. It uses gold accents combined with dark tones and hints of red for an elegant and distinct look.

The “Love of the Ride” theme is sure to bring smiles, just like riding a Can-Am Ryker, where people, regardless of riding experience, can feel a rush with the simple twist of a throttle. The design pushes beyond riding, evoking a distinct look with padded quilting textures that symbolize the peace of mind of riding on three wheels. It also creates an unconventional artistic expression, which ties with how Can-Am loves to expand boundaries.

Can-Am Celebrates 50 Years

Can-Am 50th Anniversary Motocross
Can-Am introduced motorcycles for motocross and endurance racing in the early 1970s.

Can-Am is turning 50 this year, and Bombardier Recreational Products (BRP), Can-Am’s parent company, is celebrating with collaborations on custom products and festivities throughout the summer.

The first Can-Am motocross motorcycle was built in 1973 and saw immediate success in motocross and endurance racing. In 1996, the started working on the Spyder, a three-wheeled half-motorcycle/half-convertible, which was finally introduced in 2007.

Since then, the brand has brought other three-wheeled models to the market, including the Spyder F3, the Ryker, and the Spyder RT.

The brand’s three-wheeled lineup has opened the doors for more riders to enjoy the sport, and sales have more than doubled in the last four years.

Using its three-wheeled models as a way to engage with a diversity of riders, BRP has shown support to its fans in more ways than one. For example, Can-Am sponsored the Road Warrior Ride last September and gave veterans full gear and riding courses, as well as the use of Spyders, to ride 1,000 miles from Florida to Ohio.

The 2022 Road Warrior Ride, sponsored by Can-Am, supported veterans over 1,000 miles.

The brand has also been a supporter of International Female Ride Day and other inclusivity-focused events.

“Can-Am’s 50th anniversary is also a celebration of the people behind the brand who forged its DNA and constantly pushed the limits of what’s possible,” says José Boisjoli, president and CEO of BRP. “The brand had instant success on the track and the trail when it all began 50 years ago, owning the podiums and setting land speed records. Since then, driven by our commitment to innovation, technology, quality, and a passion that never wavered, we have reinvented Can-Am in so many ways, always keeping in mind to deliver the best experience for our riders. When I look at the future, I am convinced it will continue to achieve legendary milestones and I cannot thank our employees, dealers, customers and partners enough for carrying the Can-Am DNA year over year.”

In early 2023, it celebrated its sixth consecutive Dakar Rally win. Looking to the future, the brand is now excited to break ground with its two electric motorcycles for 2024: the Origin dual-sport and Pulse streetbike.

Can-Am Electric Motorcycle Pulse Origin
BRP has unveiled two all-electric motorcycles, the Can-Am Pulse streetbike and Can-Am Origin dual-sport. Both are scheduled for release in mid-2024.

To celebrate its 50th anniversary, Can-Am has announced a collaboration with The Shoe Surgeon to create three custom Rykers and three styles of Can-Am-inspired riding shoes. BRP will also introduce new product updates and models in August. There will also be activities and celebrations on social media and in person for fans and owners, including some of the championship riders from the early days of the brand.

Can-Am to Support International Female Ride Day

Can-Am International Female Ride Day

On Saturday, May 7, powersports manufacturer leader BRP and its Can-Am team will proudly take to the streets alongside female riders in more than 50 communities around the world as part of the 16th annual International Female Ride Day (IFRD). From the U.S. and Canada to Europe, Asia, and Latin America, Can-Am employees, ambassadors, dealers, and vehicle owners will ride together and celebrate the importance of female riders and their positive contributions to the industry.

This marks the third consecutive year that Can-Am will be an official supporter and partner of IFRD, and it will be the brand’s biggest push yet. The IFRD partnership is synonymous with Can-Am’s acclaimed Women of On-Road program, which addresses barriers-to-entry for female riders through rider education and mentorship. That program has been incredibly successful, resulting in nearly 38% of Can-Am owners being female, significantly outpacing the industry average of 22%.

Ahead of IFRD, Can-Am will host fellow Canadian and IFRD founder Vicki Gray at its corporate headquarters in Quebec. While there, Gray will have a chance to meet and ride with many of the incredible female Can-Am employees who inspire and manage the Women of On-Road program.

“It’s great to have the support and involvement again from Can-Am as one of the IFRD official partners. I really look forward to meeting the team and taking a ride together,” said Gray. “Can-Am is likewise dedicated to promoting and highlighting women riders and to making a positive difference for women in motorcycling and powersports everywhere. Together we are making advancements in this segment.

A sample of some of the Can-Am IFRD rides taking place on May 7, 2022:

Wheel May Drop Off Can-Am Ryker

BRP Australia has issued a recall for their entry-level Can-Am Ryker three-wheeler roadster because a front wheel may drop off.

Riders have been advised to stop riding their Ryker, according to the official recall notice issued through the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.

The issue only affects 30 of this year’s models sold between March 27 and September 26.

Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) of affected vehicles are listed at the end of this article.

The notice says the front wheels assembly may not have been installed properly, referring to the amount of torque applied to the installation of a red locking clip (pictured below).

Can-Am Ryker recall

“This could result in a wheel loss, reducing the vehicles handling and control,” the notice quaintly asserts. “This increases the risk of an accident, potentially leading to serious injury or death of the rider or other road users.

“Do not ride your vehicle until it has been inspected and repaired.”

BRP will contact owners by mail and arrange to repair involved vehicles, free of charge.

The company has only issued three other recalls in Australia for their Spyders, twice for brake defects and once for the vehicle bursting into flames.

YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS ON RECALLS

It’s important to know your legal rights on recalls. Even though manufacturers and importers usually contact owners when a recall is issued, the bike may have been sold privately to a rider unknown to the company.
