Honda® ATVs

Honda® Foreman®

For a solid, reliable work ATV for ranch, farm, or wilderness, check out the impressive line of FourTrax® Foreman® ATVs from Honda®. You’ll find valuable features like a powerful 518cc engine, an easy-to-use reverse system, tough front and rear racks, and more in all three models. Also standard: A handy utility box and a swingarm rear suspension, perfect for towing or hard hauling. For an ATV with independent rear suspension, try the Foreman Rubicon.

Honda® Rancher®

Honda’s FourTrax® Rancher® lineup has eight incredible models to choose from, each one loaded with incredible features. They’ve all got spacious front utility compartments and rugged front and rear racks, so you can haul it all. Wide front drive-shaft guards and an easy-to-use reverse system guarantee great handling and maneuverability. Choose an automatic DCT model and enjoy an override shifting control.

Honda® Recon®

Get onto a Honda FourTrax Recon® for one of our hardest-working ATVs. The specially designed 250-class engine is built to promise exceptional low-rpm torque and power. Choose your transmission: their conventional foot-shift ATV transmission, or Honda’s Electric Shift Program (ESP) on the Recon ES model.

Honda® Rincon®

The Rincon® delivers everything you expect in a flagship ATV and then some. This uncompromising beast is powered by a potent, liquid-cooled 675cc single-cylinder engine, the biggest on any Honda ATV. Connected to a longitudinal-crankshaft, more power gets to the ground where it matters. With tough bodywork and steel racks front and rear, this burly ATV can dominate the job and the trail. Match this with the Rincon’s best-in-class comfort, and a premium long-travel suspension for a smooth and controlled ride.

Honda® TRX®

The Honda TRX90X is right-sized for youth riders. With its no-clutch transmission, this one can help new riders focus on the fundamentals while having a blast. Since the single-overhead-cam engine offers a usable powerband, even more experienced riders will love taking this one out for a spin. The Honda TRX250X is light enough for smaller adults, big enough for full-sized riders, and a light-handling dream to drive. It’s got the exclusive Honda SportClutch™, which delivers all the control of a clutched manual shift, while eliminating the chance of shift-induced stalling.

    1937

    First patent

    In 1928, Souichiro received his first copyright certificate for the invention of metal spokes for use in an automobile wheel. Prior to this, spokes for wheels were made of wood. During his life, Soichiro will receive about 150 patents.

To engineers Fujisawa (partner and friend of Soichiro Honda) explained it this way: the motorcycle must be so easy to control that it can be driven with one hand while holding a tray of noodles in the other. The motorcycle became a legend and the model is still produced. In 2017, Honda celebrated its 100 millionth Super Cub series motorcycle.

    2018

    70 years of dream power

    Honda 70. So far it has been a whole story. Where will the next seven decades take us?

    The history of ATVs

    The first ATVs appeared at the same time as cars, in the 20s of the XX century, and had a ridiculous power by today's standards - about 2 hp. But it was these initiatives that made it possible, after 100 years, to launch the production of the most compact, powerful and maneuverable equipment. In this article, we will tell you how the production of ATVs originated, what the first models looked like, and how the ATV market developed.

    ATV prototypes

    J. Ward's 1850 four-wheel steering cart. It resembles a bicycle, only faster and more stable.

    Ford Quadricycle — a four-wheeled wagon powered by Henry Ford, 1896.

    One of the first quadricycles — Henry Ford's Ford Quadricycle. It worked on a 2 hp two-cylinder engine. - indicators unprecedented at that time. The engine ran on ethanol, the wheels were bicycles, and the seat for two was like a tool box.

    Charles Moshe's Velocar

    In 1924, the Frenchman Charles Moshe introduced the public to the public with the pedaled "velocar", essentially a more stable version of the bicycle. The model was double: while one rider pedaled, the second could rest. This invention helped France during the Second World War, when the territory of the country was under the occupation of Germany, and gasoline was impossible to get. Charles Moshe's bicycle cars have survived to this day - they can be seen in museums in France.

    Creation of a tricycle

    Honda US 90 tricycle in Diamonds Are Forever (1971) four-wheeled motor vehicle. In 1970, Osama Takeuchi of Honda releases the US90 three-wheel hybrid. The model received the practicality of a car and the maneuverability of a motorcycle. The invention was positioned as an all-terrain motorcycle.

    The engine used in the Honda tricycle was a single-cylinder four-stroke engine with 70 “cubes” from the Honda ST70 motorcycle. The triangular-shaped frame and leading rear-wheel drive performed well in tests. Much more problems were with the wheels - the company has been looking for suitable options for a long time. As planned by Takeuchi, the wheels had to be stable on sand and snow. Many options were considered, including farm cultivators. The choice fell on wheels from an American amphibious all-terrain vehicle, which easily traveled through swamps, mud and snowdrifts. These were low pressure tires on high profile tires. Based on them, Honda's own 22” wheels with a pressure of 2.2 psi and a developed tread were developed. Due to the low specific gravity, the tricycle could move on water, not to mention loose soil.

    The novelty was expected to be of interest to farmers. However, this did not happen and the lack of demand almost led to the closure of the project. Wealthy Californians showed interest in Honda's tricycle. They were looking for transport to move along the wide sandy beaches - cars and two-wheeled bikes were not suitable for this purpose, but the tricycle felt confident in such conditions. Thus, the development was saved.

    The obvious success of the US90 was noticed by other Japanese auto and motorcycle manufacturers. They delved into the essence of the idea and began to produce analogues. Honda has vigorously defended its rights to the tricycle in the courts. She won her first plagiarism lawsuit with Yamaha. But that didn't stop the competition. Already in 1980, Yamaha introduced the 123 cc YT125 tricycle, and in 1981, the Kawasaki brand presented the KLT 200 all-terrain vehicle to the public. American Arctic Cat and Polaris also patented their developments.

    Tricycle turns into ATV

    Suzuki QuadRunner LT 125 ATV, 1984

    Work on the design of the tricycle all-terrain vehicle did not stop. In 1982, Suzuki's Aki Goto ventured a fourth wheel on his own Suzuki ALT125 tricycle, with the suspension and footpegs remaining the same. So the first four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle Suzuki QuadRunner LT125 appeared.

    By that time, three-wheeled all-terrain vehicles had become very popular. But tricycles were not treated as a full-fledged mode of transport, which entailed a large number of injuries. US product safety regulators have helped to make unstable tricycles forgotten. At the same time, safety rules for ATVs were tightened.
