Adventure Trikes! Can-Am Ryker Rally vs. Yamaha Niken | Common Tread XP
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
Two three-wheeled machines take on an adventure-travel test in this Common Tread XP episode. Zack and Ari put the Can-Am Ryker Rally and Yamaha Niken to work, following a journey marked by dunes, a pass, Fossil Falls and Lake Isabella.
About this film
RevZilla’s Common Tread XP brings the two riders together for a practical exploration of the “adventure trike” idea: whether an extra wheel could make sense when riding away from paved roads. The film is built around the Can-Am Ryker Rally and Yamaha Niken, with the machines framed as part of the journey rather than as a conventional showroom comparison. At 40 minutes, it moves through several named stops and segments, including a comparison between the two models. The episode was published in 2024 as part of the Common Tread XP series.
The journey
The chapter sequence begins with Olancha Dunes and the Grand Dune, then continues into a second day at Fossil Falls. A segment titled “Through the Pass?” marks the next leg before the story reaches Lake Isabella on Day 3. From there, a Black-Diamond Detour leads into the closing segment, “Three Wheels, Three Rivers.” These chapter markers give the ride a clear, multi-day shape, while keeping the focus on the two unusual machines and their use as adventure trikes. The route’s named locations provide the film’s structure, from dune stops to later sections around Fossil Falls and Lake Isabella.
