This powerful and rugged 4x4 ATV mates a reliable manual-shift gearbox to a time-tested air-cooled 475cc OHV engine it's Honda quality at its best. And you have the choice of standard steering or the ease of Electric Power Steering (EPS).

UNIQUE FEATURES
  • TraxLok™ enables the rider to shift between 2WD and 4WD with the simple push of a switch. Quiet operation and smooth engagement are key features of the system
  • Torque-sensitive front differential reduces torque steer for less steering effort
  • Dual front disc brake calipers feature a patented built in scraper system to remove mud and debris from inside the front wheel to help prevent build-up of debris between caliper and rim to ensure consistent braking performance

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN
  • Four-stroke 475cc OHV air-cooled longitudinally mounted engine allows direct drive shaft alignment to both front and rear wheels for improved drivetrain efficiency
  • Overhead valve arrangement features angled valves in a hemispherical combustion chamber for straighter intake and exhaust flow for improved engine performance
  • Patented oil cooling system features dual oil coolers for greater cooling capacity. The first cooler is located in the traditional position in front of the engine. The second cooler is mounted higher in a protected position under the front fender away from mud and debris and is fed a cool supply of air through a front fender duct. Oil is first routed to the lower cooler then to the second high mounted cooler before returning to the engine
  • Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counterbalancer reduce vibration
  • Snorkel-type air intake system is specially designed for water crossings
  • Integral electric carburetor heater system improves driveability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions
  • Closed crankcase vent system safeguards against engine oil contamination
  • USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler is constructed of stainless steel
  • TraxLok™ is easily engaged by pushing a switch on the right handlebar. An electromagnetic mechanical clutch unit (EMCU) located on the center of the propeller shaft engages 4WD with a quiet two-way roller clutch. Unlike mechanical designs, TraxLok™ ensures smooth operation by employing a magnetic switching mechanism that engages when front and rear wheel speeds vary by less than 9 kph
  • Super-heavy-duty automatic clutch for excellent driveability and towing capacity
  • Genuine five-speed transmission with reverse ("real" engine braking - no belts here!)
  • Maintenance-free shaft drive with torque-sensing front differential routes power directly from the longitudinally mounted engine without inefficient directional changes
  • Convenient electric starter, with auxiliary recoil starter and an automatic internal decompression system
  • Wet sump with large, 2.84 litre capacity
  • CD ignition with electronic advance for excellent performance and reliability
  • Reusable foam air filter

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION
  • Rugged frame and suspension provide an exceptional 190 mm of ground clearance
  • Independent double-wishbone front suspension uses KYB shock absorbers to give 170 mm of travel
  • Steel swingarm and dual KYB rear shock absorbers give 170 mm of travel
  • Rugged, large-diameter, 25 x 8-12 front, 25 x 10-12 rear tyres provide added ground clearance while maintaining precise handling
  • Dual 180mm front hydraulic disc brakes and sealed 180mm mechanical rear drum

ADDITIONAL FEATURES
  • Large cargo racks front and rear allow payloads of 30 and 60 kilograms respectively
  • SUV styling features flowing fenders with integrated headlights and taillights for a rugged, adventurous look
  • Heavy-duty trailer hitch with towing capacity of 385 kilograms
  • Total maximum carrying capacity with rider, accessories and cargo is 220 kilograms
  • Large, lightweight plastic fuel tank with 15.9 litre capacity
  • Unique rear-opening storage compartment allows access when rack is loaded
  • Powerful, 326-watt AC generator
  • Waterproof accessory socket provides 12-volt, 12-amp power with a built-in temperature-type fuse
  • Uniquely designed floorboards allow the rider's feet to grip the footrests while keeping mud and debris away from the rider's feet
  • Standard over-fenders give excellent mud protection
  • Thickly padded seat provides all-day comfort, and large mud flaps keep dirt and debris off of the rider
  • New two-piece boot guards help prevent damage to boot covers
  • Handlebar switches, controls and warning labels use internationally approved ISO graphic symbols
  • Transferable 12-month warranty
