Can-Am Spyder RS-S, 2012

 
 
 
Can-Am Spyder RS-S, 2012

Features and Benefits
  • - 998cc Rotax V-Twin engine
  • - Vehicle Stability System
  • - Sport windshield
  • - Multi-function LCD gauge
  • - 12 US Gal. (44L) of storage
  • - Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.)

PLUS
FOX Racing Shox Podium - All-new, gas-charged front shocks with anodized-aluminum body and pre-load adjustments provide sport-tuned handling.
6 double -spoke front wheels - Angular and aggressive, this black, cast-aluminum design provides increased head-turning power.
Painted Spoiler / A-Arms Covers - Stylish, sporty accents to give your Spyder RS-S an even more high-performance attitude.
Carbon -black aluminum parts - A unique treatment applied to the handlebar, foot pegs, rear sprocket and springs. Simply sinister.
Stitched seat skin - Top-quality seat skin featuring stitching for a refined fit and finish.

Vehicle Stability System
The Y architecture of the Can-Am roadster allows it to host an innovative and unique stability system. Developed in partnership
with BOSCH† and inspired by automotive technologies, the system integrates ABS, traction control and stability control functions for an incredibly confident ride.

STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM
The stability control assesses your intended direction via the handlebar and determines the vehicle’s appropriate response. The system individually brakes the wheels and/or reduces excess engine torque until control is regained.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM
Sensors monitor the rotation of all three wheels. If any of the wheels is at risk of locking, ABS reduces brake pressure on it. This intervention repeats in rapid succession and can be performed independently on each wheel, allowing for maximum braking performance.

TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM
Whenever the Traction Control System detects excessive rear wheel spin (e.g., in slippery conditions), it reduces engine torque by regulating engine ignition and fuel injection. This enables the roadster to accelerate with minimal corrective input from the rider.

DYNAMIC POWER STEERING
The electronically controlled power steering system provides the rider with a varying assist when turning the handlebars. The amount of assistance varies with the speed of the vehicle to adjust the steering input effort to a comfortable level.

Transmission Options
SEMI-AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
No clutch lever. No foot shifter. The Can-Am roadster’s semi-automatic 5-speed transmission uses convenient paddle shifting, a feature typically associated with sports cars. The paddle shift makes for faster, smoother shifting, which means you can get the adrenaline pumping as quickly as you please. Simply apply pressure with your left thumb to shift up and use your forefinger to downshift. It also features reverse for increased maneuverability.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Fluid motion stems from the smooth, 5-speed gearbox created specifically for the Can-Am roadster. It also features reverse for increased maneuverability.

Optimum Security
The Digitally Encoded Security System (D.E.S.S.) helps protect the Can-Am roadster from theft or other unauthorized use. The vehicle will not start unless the rider uses the correctly coded electronic key.

Proven Rotax Engine
998cc V-twin Rota x engine - Over the past 50 years, more than 6 million Rotax engines have been built, powering the world’s most impressive on- and off-road machines. Every Can-Am roadster is equipped with a 998cc V-Twin Rotax engine calibrated for sport or touring riding. Touring engines offer cruise control and electronic throttle control.

Husaberg TE300, 2012

 Husaberg TE300, 2012

Features and Benefits
New handlebars from Neken, with the same shape as before, guarantees supreme stiffness and safety.
Classy triple clamps machined from a single piece are fitted as standard to all Husaberg models. This results in precise clamping of the fork tubes, which supports the flawless function of the forks.

The polyethylene fuel tank on the TE models has been designed for sufficient range combined with enduro ergonomics and hence conveys optimum contact with the bike. With an 11 litre capacity, it is big enough for completing the longest race stages with ease and also allows extended enduro tours.

Unbeatable high-end chassis with sophisticated closed-cartridge technology - extremely sensitive + optimal damping characteristics, just like the "big bikes" + tuned to low weight

The clever liquid cooling system leads the water directly from the cylinder head through the frame triangle via a T-piece and straight to the radiators. This means simple mounting of the radiators, plenty of space under the fuel tank and therefore unhindered air circulation.

The nickel-plated exhaust pipe has been specially designed for enduro use and contributes significantly to the controllable rideability combined with the highest levels of performance. The aluminium main silencer manufactured in a two-component process is fastened perfectly to the subframe with a strong plastic sleeve.

The high-volume airbox optimally provides the engine with fresh, clean air. The generously sized Twin-Air foam air filter can be changed in a matter of seconds - with no tools at all.

A stable and at the same time extremely lightweight design made from high-quality chrome molybdenum steel tubes and profiles ensures that the central tube frame offers an ideal level of strength and flex. This guarantees the greatest degree of directional stability and torsional rigidity.

State-of-the-art braking technology from Brembo. A lightweight, floating two-piston brake caliper at the front and a compact single-piston floating caliper at the rear, combined with ultra-light Wave brake discs, provide for best possible application and maximum braking performance.

New cylinder for even more torque at low revs (TE 300) + very rideable power development + spontaneous punch from low revs for tremendous rear wheel traction + more than enough power in the upper rev range to be able to climb the steepest of slopes with the greatest of ease + engine speed-dependent exhaust control with new reed valve block for even better throttle response: with two additionally supplied control springs that provide adjustable characteristics for power development that can be tuned to be softer and more traction-oriented or more aggressive for spontaneous power.

The digital ignition is factory-fitted with a new and more compact ignition curve switch on the handlebars that allows selection of two different ignition curves while riding + the rider can choose between "soft" - i.e. smoother, more traction-oriented performance - or "aggressive" with noticeably more spontaneous performance.

The electric starter for hardcore enduro use, which, thanks to an extremely clever patent, is hidden behind the exhaust, saving space and well protected, perfect for when the strength of the rider dwindles in treacherous terrain.
Convenient hydraulic clutch actuation from Brembo, optimum application, specially designed for two-stroke characteristics, always with a precise pressure point.

+ compact and extra-lightweight 2-stroke engine with a displacement of 249 cc, 293.2 cc or now with 124.8 cc + enduro-specific engine characteristics + exhaust control regulated by centrifugal force and adjustable ignition allow tuning of the engine characteristics to the needs of the rider or the terrain + robust six-speed transmission designed precisely for real enduro use + smooth hydraulic clutch + patented electric starter

Super-slim ergonomics for optimum freedom of movement, perfect engagement between the rider and the bike enables playful handling, typical Husaberg appearance and fresh graphics

Benelli Tre-K 1130 Amazonas, 2012

Benelli Tre-K 1130 Amazonas, 2012

Benelli. 100 years ahead
Quality, innovation, range. Benelli reboots after their 100th year anniversary in 2011 to take on the market with even greater determination. The goals have been stated clearly: maximum product quality, an updated, more polished range, production in Italy but with marketing operations throughout the world. With all this, 2012 is sure to be a banner year with consolidation of the existing production organization in view of the gradual introduction of brand new models that will top off Benelli’s offer and complete the manufacturer’s relaunch started five years ago following the acquisition by QJ.

Quality takes first priority: the enormous task of testing, developing and fine-tuning the entire 2012 range has allowed us to achieve the highest standards on the market and guarantee the Benelli buyer reliability, optimized fuel consumption and meticulous bike construction. And that naturally includes the joy of riding a Benelli, which is the distinctive, essential trait of every motorbike that comes off the assembly line of the Pesaro plant.

Pesaro, Italy: this is where Benelli’s hub lies, in an efficient, modern structure vaunting the highest standards of quality that was maintained as the chief production headquarters. The “Made in Italy” stamp remains an indispensable element for Benelli, which is looking ahead to seize the opportunities offered by the global market, conscious of the fact of its role as a brand leader with a legendary history and confident of its offer of top-end products standing out for their quality, design and sporty allure.

The Benelli motorcycle range for 2012 has been renewed, refined and enriched with new models.

The Features
Tre-K, touring and sport for 2012: the new calibration of the suspensions guarantees maximum comfort in all riding conditions, even with a passenger on board, at the same time enhancing the sporty feel of the Tre-K models. These bikes have also benefited from the increased quality of components and assembly to offer the Benelli enthusiast the best in terms of reliability and just plain fun. What’s more, the renewed colour themes highlight the multi-faceted and dynamic lines of the Tre-K even more than in the past.

Tre-K 1130 Amazonas: the queen of the sporty grand tourers is back with a new take on many of her details, including the mapping of the three cylinders intended to reduce fuel consumption and increase the regularity of fuel injection, and the new suspensions, chosen to improve riding efficiency while lowering the seat. The updated Tre-K 1130 Amazonas will be available at Benelli dealers from March 2012.
