- We test ECO mode on the Can-Am Spyder to see if it makes a real difference.
This channel chronicles my adventures using a 2023 Can-Am Spyder RT Limited as my only conveyance. We’ll go on a great adventures as well as mundane errands. We’ll also discuss accessories and gear for the Can-Am Spyder.
I usually wear a Tourmaster Transition 4 jacket, a Scorpion EXO-AT950 helmet, and either Klim Baja gloves or Joe Rocket Windchill gloves. I use a GoPro Hero 10 camera and a Purple Panda mic, and I edit video with Final Cut Pro on an iPad Pro.

![Honest review BRP CanAm Spyder RT 2020 Limited [Part 1]](/img/n.gif)
Shawn Smoak says not to use it he is a master technician so that's good enough for me and now I don't run my car in eco either. More Power.
I have never used Eco Mode I just ride it however feels right for the conditions. Just ride and be happy!
Do not believe all the crap you see on various forums, unless you want to believe that BRP is knowingly trying to damage their engines... come on now. really ??? Eco mode slightly changes the throttle response. What is your RPM at 70 mph in Eco Mode? What is your RPM at 70 mph in Normal Mode? Is there any significant difference... Nope. Eco mode throttle response mapping will simply be more on the gentle side vs normal mode. The RPM difference, at speed, will likely be pretty much the same, so you won't see a significant mpg difference. Any small improvement is due to the slightly more gentle acceleration when you twist the throttle.
And, oh yeah, Eco mode helps new riders, with a signal when to upshift.
Bingo!
Good explanation.
Absolutely right, Wayne!
True that. Taught me how to steer and not lean. Get used to a brake pedal and upshifts with a display to remind the rider. Well done BRP. At 500 miles I took the training wheels off
When I got my Spyder, I used eco mode thinking the gas mileage would be better. Then I saw a Shawn Smoak video about what eco mode does to the Spyder engine and I stopped using it since then. I enjoy the performance of the Spyder without the eco mode. And your test result confirms my test results as well; the gain in gas mileage is minimal at best in eco mode. The sweet spot I found is 65mph or 105km/h; I achieve regularly 32-34mpg. And, yes, over 70mph or 115km/h fuel consumption increases and gas mileage drops quite a bit. Cheers Chris
Good info.
I seem to remember Shawn talking about carbon scoring in e cylinders and eco mode but I could never find it again. He has SO many videos. I agree with you. After hearing Shawn Smokes and after testing by people like @PurpleOnThree, I just stopped using it altogether.
I used ECO mode for the 1st 500 miles of ownership. I hadn't ridden a bike in perhaps 15 years due to injury then that P word thing happened. Anyhow I did the Can-Am Experience twice because there was an extra slot and the leader wanted me to gain more experience garnering my interest. 30 days later I took possession of my new 2023 Spyder RT Limited in Dark Marsala Red. Those 1st 500 miles taught me a lot. When i realized I could press ECO mode again and turn it off oh man did my ride come alive! MPG? Maybe you're right, Chris, there may have been 1 MPG differences between the two but the experience was definitely night and day!
I use eco mode in and around the town and or reversing down the drive as it appears more softer / sluggish so for me while im learning is a good thing in my view. Once i'm a little more confident i will turn it off and only turn it on in tight space when I have to do tricky monovers etc.
Eco Mode is more for in town driving it smooth the Spyder out more for slower speeds it takes the throttle jerk out at slow speeds.
I would agree with Wayne's assessment. After 4 years riding a Spyder I don't see any advantages to eco mode mileage or performance. Thanks for the video
You’re welcome!
I use ECO mode on backroads and stop and go traffic, once I’m on the highway I turn it off.
No, ECO mode doesn't make much of a difference. I tested it last year on the way to Florida and on the way home... ECO one way, regular another. The gas mileage was not significant. I'm not using ECO on my new model at all. As Spyder Wayne says, it's good for new riders.... But that's about it.
As already mentioned, Eco mode throttle response mapping will simply be more on the gentle side vs normal mode it is perfect for driving in Rain and gravel roads. In all other conditions, I'm driving in normal mode. Living in Germany with 75% no-limit Highways, a higher MPG is not really what I'm looking for. Just fun is enough.
75%! Wow, I had no idea. That’s great.
I use my eco mode. I’m not sure if it makes a difference but I still have great performance and 30+ mpg.
I have found in my first 3,000 miles on my Spyder, the Eco mode is noticeable in stop and go conditions, not highway cruising. My throttle response isn't as aggressive and appears to limit the higher RPM's. My MPH is noticeably improved under stop and go conditions, especially with my wife riding along. You might want to try your experiment again under stop and go conditions.
I will do that, thanks for the input.
Good deal
All highway driving F3 eco 36.9 mpg. Little sluggish but good enough performance for an old man.
That’s actually very good. 8m still testing varying riding conditions.
The LAST place that I would try to compare eco to normal mode is a steady state highway ride. " ECO Mode Smart Assist helps you optimize your shifting behaviour " It softens /slows your throttle response. In a steady state highway cruise, you aren't giving it much of an opportunity to do anything.
All I noticed was that it just help with the gears other then that my 1330 cc spyder eats 7,5 l 100 km. Yes I'm european and use the only usable system. 😂😂😂 but I don't use sport mode neither so I feel that normal is good enough
I have noticed the tank does no fill up beyond 6 gallons. I can never get it below that.
Eco mode makes me obey the speed limit 😮 sometimes
I'm new to the Spyder also and wanted to know if anyone can answer a question. Is it common for the fuel gage to fluctuate on the actual mileage driven? Ty
Yes! I posted a couple of videos recently with that very observation.
Thanks. I'll definitely check out your videos 👍
I think most opinions are that ECO mode saves on MPG, I don't think it saves anything, but that's just me. We'll see how that work for you. Your pencil saved you $44 for a new Show Chrome shock.
Just get it replaced under warranty.... Using a pen on $30,000 machine, wtf.
@@Randy-Bart Funny I had mine replaced under warranty on my 2020 RTL, both failed. Two trips to the dealer, 80 miles and two wasted days, oh yeah, have it replaced under warranty, great idea.
Are you using premium fuel like 92 or 93 Octane? Just curious.
Yes, 91 or 93 depending on the gas station.
I also decided not to use ECO mode. I felt like it just changed the throttle feel a bit, with no real difference in mileage. At least the way I ride.
I’m now editing a video from today testing MPG in standard mode. 35 MPG. I can’t imagine why anyone would use ECO mode.
lol, I think ECO mode is more like Granny mode. but I have Pedal Box on my RTL22
I need to check that out.
So yesterday’s video you had over 2K in mileage and today it’s 1,500 so ?
I shoot videos in groups at times and schedule them out in advance. The timing, the mileage, etc, doesn’t always synch. I need to organize this better.
So how many others were recorded with this one?
@@DFWMoose five. I’m going on a trip to Ithaca tomorrow. I’ll shoot six videos over two days, and spread them over two weeks.
@@SpyderMinimalist well I suggest organizing them better as you acknowledged
What octane gas to you use?
93 or 91.
2019 f3 Ecmode 36.9 mpg
That’s great!
eco mode is a joke. It does nothing. It just changes throttle response and thats it.
Eco mode only creates a loose throttle characteristic, nothing else
Eco mode just indicates when to shift. period. It doesn't do anything else. It's not like a car's eco mode. The mileage will be the same.
ECO MODE..does little to nothing..
Wrong It smooths the bike out at slower speeds also if you load on a trailer keep you from quick throttle. It's also great if you have a ride in a parade using Eco mode.
I use the eco mode and non eco mode mix. I get 35 mpg. When I'm on the highway i use eco mode, in town non eco mode.
I actually got better MPG without it. I did a follow up video showing my results. No more ECO mode for me. But I’m glad you get better results.
