FourTrax Foreman Rubicon
The FourTrax Foreman Rubicon is ready to see any job through, but it’s also known for delivering smiles in the process. Equipped with a 518cc engine offering great torque and low- to midrange power, the Foreman Rubicon manages all this through a combination of class-leading performance, Honda reliability and an Independent Rear Suspension system offering a plush ride and all-day comfort. Versions are available with either a Dual Clutch Transmission or a manual transmission and power steering. On DCT versions, an easy-to-use reverse switch simplifies the transition into and out of reverse. DCT versions also feature an override that enables manual gear shifting even when in automatic mode, as well as smooth shifting thanks to a finely tuned engine-rpm sensing system. The Rubicon suits owners’ everyday needs, with a handy utility box and racks that are designed to accept Honda Pro-Connect™ accessories.

FourTrax Foreman 4×4
Honda’s FourTrax Foreman 4×4 does it all. The standard-setter when it comes to work, this model can also be found delivering hours of fun when the workday is finished. Available in three iterations—a standard version, another that adds Electric Power Steering and a third that features both EPS and Electric Shifting—the Foreman is powered by a 518cc engine that delivers strong acceleration and powerful towing muscle thanks to its low- and midrange power. On the electric-shift-equipped model, an easy-to-access and -operate reverse gear makes quick work of any task that requires frequent backing up. The swingarm-style rear suspension is durable, easy to maintain and allows more comfortable towing (the hitch is swingarm-mounted). A convenient rack system gives modular options with Honda Pro-Connect optional accessories, too.

Featuring eight different versions, the Rancher family offers the choice between Independent Rear Suspension or a swingarm-style rear end. Versions with Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission or Electric Shifting feature Honda’s reverse-engagement lever, which makes the shift into and out of reverse a hassle-free affair. For storing work or play essentials, the Rancher comes standard with a front utility box that can be reached from the riding position when parked, and it accepts accessories from Honda’s Pro-Connect system, which makes installing and removing luggage boxes a breeze.

Part luxury ATV and part hard worker, the Rincon is a won’t-quit machine that’s always willing to put in the work while also maintaining rider comfort.
