2025 Can-Am Canyon: An Off-Road Three-Wheeler
It’s hardly an overstatement to say Can-Am’s three-wheelers, namely the Spyder and Ryker, have contributed significantly to making motorcycling more accessible. Many who can’t or don’t want to balance on two wheels have been able to experience the joy of opening the throttle on an open road aboard one of these vehicles. So far, however, the trikes have been fairly strictly street-only machines, although the Ryker Rally has flirted with non-paved roads.
Can-Am is now changing that with the newly introduced 2025 Canyon—the company’s first off-road three-wheeler. The Canyon promises to let any rider enjoy the trails on a stable ADV platform that’s tailor-made for the dirt. Even if you generally prefer your rides with two tires, the confidence and 400-pound carrying capacity the Canyon provides can be welcome on long, challenging trips.
Powering the Canyon is a 1330cc liquid-cooled Rotax ACE engine, which puts out 115 ponies at 7,250 rpm and 96 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm. Keeping with the Can-Am trikes’ aim to make riding easy and accessible, the six-speed transmission is clutchless and semi-automatic. For a smooth ride on bumpy trails, the Canyon features a Sachs suspension system with 10 inches of travel in the front and nine in the rear. Braking power stems from Brembo brakes with 270mm discs, four pistons up front and one in the rear.
The trike and rider are protected against flying stones and debris by handguards, a strong radiator grille, and a protector case for the belt drive. Can-Am has equipped the wheels with XPS Adventure tires for additional traction. The handlebar features model-specific risers to make standing on the anti-slip-coated footpegs more feasible.
To customize the ride experience, the Canyon offers four ride modes: All-road, On-road, Sport, and Comfort. Each adjusts the engine performance, suspension, and power steering to fit the titular riding conditions. You can swap between each mode through the large 10.25-inch touch screen display. Sadly, the display only provides connectivity through Apple CarPlay. Other electronic features include traction control, dynamic power steering, and ABS. There’s also hill hold control.
In addition to the base model, the 2025 Canyon is available in two upscale trims—XT and Redrock. The XT trim adds additional vehicle protection, alongside aluminum top and side cases, to make better use of the trike’s carrying capacity. You also get heated grips for both the rider and passenger. On top of all that, the Redrock trim includes a rearview camera for reversing and KYB Smart-Shox semi-active suspension that adapts to vehicle movement and terrain conditions. You’ll also get an exclusive Moss Green Satin colorway.
The standard 2025 Can-Am Canyon retails at an MSRP of $25,299, while the XT trim goes for $29,799 and the Redrock for $32,299.
