The 2018 Can-Am Spyder F3 and F3-S share a Rotax 1330 ACE three-cylinder engine, but they are separate trims with different equipment. BRP lists 105 hp at 6,000 rpm and 96 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm for both. The F3-S adds features including Sport Mode, cruise control and machined deep-black high-gloss front wheels. The model-year specifications also provide tire sizes and key dimensions, while the 2018 operator guide and a VIN-based recall check are the right next steps for owners.
2018 Can-Am Spyder F3 specs
BRP’s 2018 F3 specification sheet describes a three-wheel roadster powered by a liquid-cooled Rotax 1330 ACE inline three-cylinder engine. It specifies electronic fuel injection and electronic throttle control. The figures below are manufacturer-published specifications, not independent test results.
| Specification | 2018 F3 listing |
|---|---|
| Engine | Rotax 1330 ACE, inline three-cylinder, liquid-cooled |
| Fuel system and throttle | Electronic fuel injection; electronic throttle control |
| Maximum power | 105 hp (78 kW) at 6,000 rpm |
| Maximum torque | 96 lb-ft (130 Nm) at 5,000 rpm |
| Front suspension | Double A-arms with anti-roll bar |
| Rear suspension | Swing arm |
| Brakes | Foot-operated hydraulic three-wheel brake system |
| Listed electronic systems | Stability control, traction control, ABS, Dynamic Power Steering and D.E.S.S. |
| Front tire | MC165/55R15 55H |
| Rear tire | MC225/50R15 76H |
| Fuel capacity | 7.1 US gal (27 L) |
| Ground clearance | 4.5 in (115 mm) |
| Seat height | 26.6 in (675 mm) |
| Fuel requirement | Premium unleaded |
These are the values BRP gives for the model; check the vehicle’s own labels and its model-year operator guide before ordering replacement tires, selecting fuel, or carrying out service. Tire size alone does not establish that a particular replacement tire is suitable: confirm the exact vehicle fitment and required ratings.
What is the difference between the Spyder F3 and F3-S?
BRP’s 2018 brochure treats the F3 and F3-S as distinct trims and lists 105 hp at 6,000 rpm and 96 lb-ft at 5,000 rpm for both. The difference to focus on is equipment and styling, not a higher published engine output for the F3-S.

| 2018 trim | Details identified in BRP’s brochure |
|---|---|
| F3 | Base F3 trim; the brochure lists the same 105 hp and 96 lb-ft figures as the F3-S. |
| F3-S | Sport Mode, cruise control, machined deep-black high-gloss front wheels, and a multi-function LCD segment analog gauge; same listed engine output as F3. |
For a specific vehicle, compare its equipment with the appropriate model-year brochure rather than assuming that a feature listed for another F3 trim is included. Equipment may also vary by market, so confirm the original specification for the vehicle’s sales region.
Where F3 and F3-S fit in the 2018 F3 range
BRP’s English MY18 brochure covers four variants: F3, F3-S, F3-T and F3 Limited. F3-T and F3 Limited are the touring-oriented variants; their equipment should not be confused with the sport trims. The brochure lists 115 hp (86 kW) at 7,250 rpm for F3-T and F3 Limited, compared with 105 hp (78 kW) at 6,000 rpm for F3 and F3-S. All four are listed at 96 lb-ft (130 Nm) at 5,000 rpm.

That difference matters when reading listings or comparing specifications: the 115-hp figure belongs to the F3-T and F3 Limited brochure columns, not the F3 or F3-S. Use the brochure’s individual trim columns to check other equipment rather than transferring touring features to an F3-S.
What tires fit a 2018 Can-Am Spyder F3?
BRP’s F3 specification sheet lists MC165/55R15 55H for the front and MC225/50R15 76H for the rear. These are useful sizes to search and cross-check, but verify the exact vehicle, tire markings and required ratings before buying or installing replacements. The model-year operator guide is the appropriate reference for vehicle-specific operating and maintenance directions.

Which guide should owners use for maintenance?
BRP’s operator-guide index includes an English 2018 Spyder F3 Series guide. Use that model-year guide for operating instructions and maintenance procedures rather than relying on a generic F3 article or a guide for a different year. BRP’s guide index is available at Can-Am On-Road owner’s manuals.
How to check recalls on a Can-Am Spyder
- Find the vehicle identification number (VIN) using the Vehicle Identification section of the operator’s guide. BRP’s recall information explains this step: Can-Am On-Road recalls.
- Contact an authorized Can-Am On-Road dealer and ask them to check the VIN for outstanding safety bulletins or recall notices. Can-Am’s owner FAQ says dealers can verify notices applicable to a vehicle using its VIN: Can-Am On-Road owner FAQ.
A model-year listing cannot establish whether a particular 2018 F3 or F3-S has an outstanding notice. The VIN check is vehicle-specific.

What to verify before buying accessories
BRP’s official store lists Spyder F3 accessories, but it describes its “Fits-on” feature as suggestion-only and directs customers to the operator guide or a dealer for further fitment guidance. Check that an accessory is compatible with the exact year and trim before purchase or installation. Browse Spyder F3 accessories and confirm uncertain fitment with a dealer.
