The Can-Am Spyder is offered in two gearshift variants: the Spyder SM5 has a 5-speed gearshift with reverse gear, the Spyder SE5 a sequential electronic automatic transmission. The Spyder RT was also introduced in 2010 - a variant that is specially equipped for touring with many new comfort features. Among other things, the storage space for luggage has been significantly increased.

From 2018, the Ryker will be a lighter variant, optionally with 50 HP 600 cm³ two or 82 HP 900 cm³ three-cylinder and CVT automatic transmission. The single seat of the basic model can be expanded to include a pillion passenger seat in the 'Rally Edition'.
