The best carbon fiber parts for the Can-Am Spyder RS are 100% pre-preg Toray carbon components, autoclave-cured in matched-metal molds — the same aerospace-grade process used on OEM carbon. For the RS, that means six direct-replacement upgrades in 100% twill weave: a windshield, tail cover, undertail, rear hugger, lower chain guard, and front fender extensions.
Which carbon fiber parts are available for the Can-Am Spyder RS?
Each part below replaces a factory plastic piece with pre-preg carbon that is lighter, stiffer for its weight, and finished in a deep twill weave. All six are stocked and shipping from our Atlanta, GA warehouse.
Carbon Fiber Windshield — 2008–2016 Spyder RS
The 2008–2016 Can-Am Spyder RS carbon fiber windshield (SKU CBCA-RS-WSD-T) swaps the stock screen for 100% twill-weave carbon. It drops weight at the highest point of the bodywork and changes the entire front-end look of the machine.
Carbon Fiber Tail Cover
The Spyder RS carbon fiber tail cover (SKU CBCA-RS-TLC-T) dresses the tail section in twill carbon, replacing the factory trim with a cleaner motorsport finish at the rear.
Carbon Fiber Undertail
The Spyder RS carbon fiber undertail (SKU CBCA-RS-UT-T) cleans up the underside of the tail, replacing the black plastic undertail panel with a part that matches the rest of a carbon build.
Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger
The Spyder RS carbon fiber hugger (SKU CBCA-RS-HGR-T) sits over the rear wheel to shield the shock and linkage area from road grime and spray — a functional guard that happens to be far lighter than the plastic it replaces.
Carbon Fiber Lower Chain Guard
The Spyder RS carbon fiber lower chain guard (SKU CBCA-RS-CGDL-T) covers the lower chain run, keeping debris off the swingarm area while adding another piece of visible weave at the rear of the bike.
Carbon Fiber Fender Extensions — Pair
The Spyder RS carbon fiber fender extensions (SKU CBCA-RS-FFDE-T) come as a pair and extend the front fenders to cut down on the road spray and stone chips the Spyder's two front wheels throw at the front end.
What makes one carbon fiber part better than another?
Three things: the fiber, the resin process, and the tooling. Every Bestem Spyder RS part is built the same way:
- 100% pre-preg Toray carbon fiber — the fabric arrives pre-impregnated with a precisely measured resin content, so there are no dry spots and no resin-rich heavy areas.
- Autoclave curing — heat and pressure compact the laminate and force out voids, producing a part that is stronger and lighter than anything hand-laid, wet-lay, or resin-infused.
- Matched-metal molds — both surfaces of the part are formed against metal tooling, so wall thickness and fitment stay consistent from part to part.
This is the same autoclave-plus-pre-preg construction that premium European carbon makers such as Ilmberger built their reputation on — Bestem uses that same technology and adds a superior UV-resistant coating on top.
One misconception worth correcting head-on: the idea that carbon fiber made in China is still hand-laid and therefore second-rate. That stereotype is outdated — wet-lay construction is effectively obsolete for quality structural and aesthetic carbon parts. One hundred percent of Bestem carbon is pre-preg Toray, autoclave-cured in metal molds, in the same state-of-the-art facility that manufactures OEM carbon fiber components for major brands including Polaris and Triumph. Quality comes from the process, not the country.
Do carbon fiber parts on a Spyder RS turn yellow in the sun?
Sun-ray (UV) yellowing is the single most common defect riders see on carbon fiber bodywork: the clear coat ambers and clouds until the weave underneath looks dull. On standard OEM and aftermarket clear coats, it typically starts showing after roughly 1,000 hours of UV exposure.
Bestem's proprietary UV-resistant coating is rated for roughly 3,000 hours of UV exposure — about three times the ~1,000-hour industry standard — and every part carries a lifetime warranty against sun-ray yellowing.
For a Spyder RS that lives outside or racks up sunny touring miles, that coating is the difference between carbon that still shows a deep, clean weave years from now and carbon that ambers within a couple of seasons.
Why order Spyder RS carbon parts from Bestem USA?
Bestem has been manufacturing carbon fiber since 2005 — more than 20 years — and supplies OEM carbon fiber parts to many car and motorcycle manufacturers. That OEM-grade process is what ends up in every aftermarket part we sell.
Practically speaking: every part listed here is stocked in our Atlanta, GA warehouse and ships daily, worldwide. Live staff answer the phone every business day if you want to confirm fitment before ordering, and customer satisfaction is the top priority of the business.
FAQ
Do carbon fiber motorcycle parts turn yellow?
Standard clear coats can begin to amber after roughly 1,000 hours of UV exposure. Bestem's proprietary UV-resistant coating is rated to approximately 3,000 hours — about 3× longer — and is backed by a lifetime warranty against sun-ray yellowing.
Are these parts real carbon fiber or carbon-look?
They are 100% pre-preg Toray carbon fiber, autoclave-cured in matched-metal molds — not wrapped fiberglass, not hydro-dipped plastic. The twill weave you see is structural carbon, not a printed pattern.
What years of the Can-Am Spyder RS do these parts fit?
The carbon fiber windshield is listed for 2008–2016 Spyder RS models. The tail cover, undertail, hugger, lower chain guard,
