BE YOUR OWN BOSS

Are you that person that other people call when they need a problem solved? Someone they can count on when the chips are down? Then the Honda Foreman is the ATV for you. Because, just like you, it’s the ATV you can always count on. For 2022 there are three models in our Foreman lineup. Every one features a powerful 518cc engine, tough front and rear racks, an easy-to-use reverse system, a handy utility box and more. And every Foreman here uses a swingarm rear suspension that’s perfect for hard work or towing. Looking for a machine with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)? Right this way: Check out our Foreman Rubicon models.

Comfort

  • COMFORTABLE SEAT: A plush seat and open rider triangle (bars/seat/pegs) teams up with the suspension to really treat you right. Superior ergonomics have always been a Honda priority, and the Foreman is no exception. With thick, soft foam, it’s supremely comfortable.

Convenience

  • FRONT AND REAR CARGO RACKS: The Foreman’s racks feature strong steel construction and a large flat area. Better still, they’re designed so it’s easy to attach and remove cargo boxes and other accessories in our Honda Pro-Connect™ line, adding to your Foreman’s versatility.
  • 35W HEADLIGHTS: Your exploring or work doesn’t have to stop when the sun goes down. Powerful twin headlights offer excellent illumination for the task at hand.
  • EASY SERVICE ACCESS: The Foreman’s body styling is not only aggressive, it’s functional. It features a tank and side covers that come off in one piece and without using any tools. That means quick and easy access to the engine.
  • DIGITAL METER: In addition to the basics, the Foreman’s instrument panel offers extra information: a clock, water temperature gauge, our “maintenance minder” system and indicator for the electronic differential lock.
  • 1.9 l FRONT UTILITY BOX: The perfect size for small items you want to access quickly—like a cell phone, GPS, or a spare pair of gloves.
  • POWERFUL ALTERNATOR OUTPUT: An alternator offering extra output means the Foreman is capable of handling more of your accessory power needs.
  • ASSIST HEADLIGHT: We’re talking about the Foreman’s third headlight here—the one that turns with the handlebar. With a full 50 watts of power, it’ll reliably light the way no matter where you’re headed.
  • SUPERIOR CARGO CAPACITY: With strong, steel cargo racks front and rear, both offering increased flat surface area than earlier models, the Foreman is ready to carry what you need.
  • EXTEND YOUR WARRANTY COVERAGE: Your new Honda already comes with a great warranty, and a world-famous reputation for durability, reliability, and build quality. But if you’d like to extend your warranty coverage, make sure to check out our HondaCare Protection Plans.

Engineering

  • ELECTRONIC DIFFERENTIAL LOCK: When you’re in 4WD mode and you need to get the power to both front wheels, just flip the switch on the electronic differential lock to maximize available traction. The vehicle display will tell you when the diff lock is fully engaged.
  • TRAXLOK®: Our rock-solid TraxLok system lets you select either 2WD or 4WD, giving you the freedom to choose between lighter steering (in 2WD) and maximizing available traction (in 4WD) when you need it most.
  • FUEL INJECTION: By incorporating an oxygen sensor into the system, the Foreman delivers both better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. The ECU instantly adjusts the fuel injection mapping to match riding conditions for maximum fuel efficiency. The result: more time on the trail and more money in your pocket.
  • LIQUID COOLING: Our time-tested Honda engine is liquid-cooled to provide more consistent operating temperatures and more power than a comparable air-cooled engine. This adds up to better performance and longer engine life.
  • LONGITUDINAL ENGINE LAYOUT: By orienting the engine crankshaft front to back, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.
  • WIDE FRONT DRIVESHAFT GUARDS: Designed to add even more coverage to the Foreman’s front axles and outboard CV joints, the driveshaft guards are another example of how Honda engineers sweat the small details to give you one of the best ATVs on the planet.
  • HONDA QUALITY: In addition to all the features that show up on a spec chart, your new Honda Foreman offers something nobody else can match: Honda’s well-deserved reputation for quality, superior engineering, and long-term reliability. It’s part of everything we do. You have plenty of choices, but when you choose a Honda, you’re can rest assured that you’re getting the best.

Handling

  • SWINGARM SUSPENSION: The Foreman 4x4 rear swingarm with its solid axle provides superior capability for towing and hauling. Its long suspension stroke and plush seat let you tackle your favorite trail or the toughest chores in comfort all day long.

Power

  • POWERFUL 518CC ENGINE: We gave the FourTrax Foreman a tough 518cc engine that cranks out plenty of horsepower and torque. That enhances the Foreman’s overall performance, and also gives your Foreman excellent hill-climbing ability.
  • SEMI-DRY-SUMP ENGINE DESIGN: Compact and light-weight, the Foreman's overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates an engine that's not only shorter from top to bottom, but one that enhances handling by lowering the center of gravity and increasing ground clearance.

Style

  • STYLING: Our Foreman models’ bodywork still gives these ATVs a tough look that’s designed to last, shrugging off the scrapes and dings of the job or the woods. Crisp lines, powerful graphics and great color choices all ensure your Foreman makes a bold a statement.

2021 Honda ATV Model Lineup Reviews

Looking for the latest new 2021 Honda ATV models both Sport & Utility? Want to know all of the nitty-gritty specs as soon as they are released like their horsepower & torque performance figures, MSRP prices, model comparisons etc? You’ve found the right place! 

The page below will cover all of the 2021 Honda Rubicon 520, Foreman 520, Rancher 420, Recon 250, Rincon 680 and also the TRX250X / TRX90X sport models just like I’ve done on all of the previous 2020 and prior model years that you can check out and compare by Clicking Here. Stay tuned as I update this page with detailed reviews on each model with in-depth model breakdowns with R&D and loads of info explaining all of the 2021 ATV model variations and their differences as well as the new changes when comparing the 2021 VS 2020 model years. Honda hasn’t released the 2021 Sport ATV / Quad models just yet so you won’t find them below but I will have more information on those in the coming months.

 

  • 2021 Honda ATV Model ID / Code Key:
    • What does TRX420FE1M or TRX520FA7M mean? 
      • TRX – Generic prefix for all Honda ATV models
      • 420 – 420 cc engine (this number will always be the engine size whether it be 250, 420, 680 etc)
      • T – Two Wheel Drive
      • F – Four Wheel Drive
      • A – Automatic
      • M – Manual Shift
      • E – Electric Shift
      • 1 – No Power Steering (EPS) with a Straight Axle
      • 2 – Power Steering (EPS) with a Straight Axle
      • 5 – No Power Steering (EPS) with IRS
      • 6 – Power Steering (EPS) with IRS
      • 7 – Deluxe (you’ll only see this on the Rubicon TRX520FA7 and discontinued TRX500FM7)
      • M – 2021 Model Year
      • DCT – Dual Clutch Transmission (Fully Automatic Transmission with Electric Shift option option to manually change gears via the ESP switch)
      • AT – Automatic (Fully Automatic Transmission with Electric Shift option to manually change gears via the ESP switch)(Honda used to use this more in their model names but has started to transition from showing the AT nameplate over to DCT)
      • EPS – Electric Power Steering
      • ESP – Electric Shift Program (You will only see this on automatic models to where you can change from automatic mode to change gears via the electric shift buttons)
      • ES – Electric Shift
      • IRS – Independent Rear Suspension
      • FourTrax – Honda uses this as a generic model name for all of their utility ATV models in the lineup. Some confuse FourTrax as a certain model from Honda or that it means 4×4 but that is not the case as even 2×4 models use FourTrax.
      • * If it doesn’t say ES, AT, DCT or Automatic in the name from Honda – it’s a manual foot-shift model (excluding the Rincon)

Now lets put the key above to use… Model EXAMPLE: TRX420FM1M

  • What is a TRX420FM1M? It is a 420 Rancher Four Wheel Drive and Manual Shift without EPS and is a 2021 year model. TRX = ATV / 420 = 420cc / F = Four Wheel Drive / M = Manual shift / 1 = No EPS and a straight axle / M = 2021.
  • What is a TRX420FA6M? It is a 420 Rancher Four Wheel Drive with a DCT Automatic Transmission, Independent Rear Suspension, Electric Power Steering and is a 2021 year model. TRX = ATV / 420 = 420cc / F = Four Wheel Drive / A = Automatic / 6 = IRS + EPS / M = 2021.

2021 Honda Recon 250

The 2021 Honda Recon 250 is a little late to the party with Honda delaying its announcement until March 2nd, 2021 whereas the rest of the 2021 ATV model lineup was announced back in June of 2020. With refreshed styling, Honda’s smallest, most maneuverable multipurpose ATV is a bigger value than ever for 2021. Updates to the fenders, front grille and headlights give the FourTrax Recon a classy new look, while the reliable, efficient, air-cooled 229cc engine has ample power and torque. A swingarm system and single shock handle rear-suspension duties, and cargo can be hauled on steel front and rear racks. Available in both manual foot-shift and ESP® push-button shift versions, the Recon is ready for hard work or fun trail rides.

  • 2021 Recon 250 Release Date: May 2021
  • 2021 Recon 250 Changes: Yes, Honda changed the 2021 Recon 250’s fenders, front grille and headlights.


2021 Honda Rancher 420 Models

 

Honda continues to sell more multipurpose ATVs than any other manufacturer, thanks in large part to the FourTrax Rancher, which has long been a mainstay in the lineup. Whether getting work done on the farm or having fun on the trail, the Rancher is up to the task. 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 they accept accessories from Honda’s Pro Connect system, which makes installing and removing luggage boxes a breeze.

Last year, Honda mixed it up with the Rancher model lineup bringing some model variations back from the dead so-to-say that have been previously discontinued. Example; The Rancher ES 2×4 (TRX420TE1) made a return as did the Rancher 4×4 EPS manual-shift model (TRX420FM2) and thankfully those changes carried through to 2021 as well.

2021 Honda Rubicon 520

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 mid range 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 models, an easy-to-use reverse switch simplifies the transition into and out of reverse. DCT models 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. Don’t forget, the Rubicon saw a host of changes last year and of course those upgrades all carry over to the 2021 Rubicon 520 model lineup.

2021 Honda Foreman 520

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 518 cc 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.

2021 Honda Rincon 680

 

Rugged, purposeful and strong, the FourTrax Rincon starts with Honda’s largest ATV engine and adds ride-enhancing Independent Rear Suspension and a three-speed automatic transmission. Efficient as it is purposeful, the liquid-cooled 675cc single-cylinder power plant has its crankshaft aligned with the vehicle’s direction of travel for a direct link to the rear axle, while premium long-travel suspension,rugged bodywork and steel racks offer the strong performance needed in the rugged world of ATVs.

2021 Honda TRX250X

Proving that sporty ATVs can be both approachable and fun, Honda’s reliable, user-friendly TRX250X is also affordable and off-road capable. The SportClutch eliminates concerns about stalling, but it can also be manually overridden when desired. The engine delivers smooth torque across the entire rev range, while the chassis combines agile cornering characteristics and predictable handling over a wide variety of terrain types. Suspension comprises an independent double-wishbone design in front and a single-shock swingarm setup in back, delivering a smooth ride even when tackling rough off-road obstacles. Up-and-coming riders will love the TRX250X’s usable nature, but the machine is still a ripper with a more experienced rider at the helm.

What did Honda change for 2021 on the TRX250X? They finally took away some of the more dull color schemes that they have been recycling for years now and mixed in new colors with new graphics too on their only sport ATV for 2021. This is the first time they’ve played around with more “girly” colors too on a larger model, after experimenting with pink on their TRX90X for the first time a few years ago. I’m glad to see Honda experimenting a little bit and giving all of us some color options to pick from!

  • 2021 TRX250X Changes: Colors and graphics


2021 Honda TRX90X

Youngsters strive for independence, but they also love joining family and friends on the trail. Honda’s smallest sport ATV makes that possible, and for 2021 the model is updated with new graphics and color-matched front shock springs. Making shared experiences possible, the TRX90X has user-friendly features like a reliable, air-cooled four-stroke engine with an even spread of power, an electric starter and a no-clutch, four-speed transmission. Honda build quality means the riding won’t have to end any time soon, enabling young riders to build memories and skills that they’ll carry as they move on to larger machines—and future group rides.

New 2020 ATV Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon

Share your content:

Today we will take a closer look at the new ATV from the famous Japanese manufacturer Honda Motor Co., Inc. We are talking about Model 9. 0202 FourTrax Foreman Rubicon model year 2020. Before we start talking about our "character", let's deal with Honda's utility quad lineup. The family of utility ATVs is assembled under the general name "FourTrax" and five models are included in this family. The smallest FourTrax Recon (229 cc starting at $4299.00) is the most affordable rear-wheel drive model at 197 kg. Next up is the FourTrax Rancher (420 sccm starting at $5499.00), a more powerful machine, also rear-wheel drive and weighing 265kg. The third model is the FourTrax Foreman (518cc starting at $739)9.00) - all-wheel drive model weighing 288 kg. Next comes the hero of our material FourTrax Foreman Rubicon (518 cc from $8699.00) - also an all-wheel drive quad, but with a more advanced transmission. Rounding out Honda's utility ATV family is the FourTrax Rincon (675cc starting at $9399.00), the most powerful 4×4 ATV with a full torque converter automatic transmission. The last two cars are considered flagship and have the "fattest" stuffing. So now we're back to our "character"...

Here is a 2020 model year Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon utility/recreational ATV. You could call this machine an advanced variation of the regular FourTrax Foreman and the main differences here are in the drivetrain. All of the three existing Foreman versions are equipped with a five-speed Electric Shift transmission with automatic clutch. Foreman Rubicon is offered in four modifications and the first simplest is also offered with the same transmission option. But the remaining three modifications of the Honda Rubicon come with an automatic transmission with two clutches DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission).

The Rubicon also features rear brakes - the simple Foreman has drum type rear brakes, while the Rubicon has disc brakes. At the same time, the Rubicon has a rear suspension travel of 14 mm. more. It is worth noting slight differences in overall dimensions for the Foreman Rubicon - a slightly longer length +50 mm., A slightly larger base +25 mm. , A slightly higher seat +20 mm. But what has changed significantly is the ground clearance - 240 mm. Foreman Rubicon versus 190 mm. at the usual Foreman. Those were the main differences, now let's take a closer look at the 2020 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon model itself.

ENGINE

Honda engines have always been known for their superior technology and this is certainly no exception. The new FourTrax Foreman Rubicon Utility ATV is powered by a single-cylinder, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, single-overhead-camshaft (OHV) gasoline engine. Engine displacement 518 cc, piston diameter 92.0 mm. with a piston stroke of 71.5 mm. The programmable fuel injection (PGM-FI) carburetor is responsible for the power supply, which makes the engine more flexible and more efficient overall. This motor is characterized by a quick response to the manipulation of the accelerator lever, and also demonstrates high fuel efficiency in a wider operating range. It is noteworthy that the engine for this quadric model received a 43 cc larger one. working volume - 518 cc. for 2020, vs 475cc for 2019of the year. The PGM-FI fuel injection system is tuned for maximum torque in the low to mid range.

The manufacturer places special emphasis on the low height of the engine block due to the semi-dry sump system and well-placed primary gearbox. Add here the longitudinal arrangement of the power unit and you get the perfect layout with a low center of gravity. The longitudinal placement of the engine, among other things, reduces losses at the corner nodes in the transmission. Torque is transmitted by straight shafts without loss.

TRANSMISSION

The pride of Japanese engineers from Honda is a compact automatic transmission with dual clutch DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission). This box now features a new reverse gear that allows you to switch to single-lever mode, which is faster and easier in and of itself. Now the controls are duplicated in the area of ​​the left steering handle. This quick access to reverse gear is especially useful for jobs that require constant shifting back and forth, such as when clearing snow or rocking the machine out of a mud trap.

Honda's DCT automatic transmission is initially equipped with two firmware cards - Sport and Cruise. As the name implies, these modes are "sharpened" for two driving styles - for aggressive and more measured. In the first case, the box switches later and makes it possible to rev the engine above average at the peak of torque, in the second case, the box works in comfort mode and switches at medium low revs.

In addition, the transmission of the new FourTrax Foreman Rubicon is equipped with a special Honda Electric Shift (ESP®) mode that allows manual transmission control. A very convenient feature - on the right steering handle there is a yellow selector that shifts the transmission control to manual mode, and on the left handle there are two buttons for upshifting or downshifting. The order of the current transmission is displayed on the main LCD display - a fairly large and noticeable symbol.

In addition to the availability of switching the transmission mode, the owner of the quadric also has access to the function of controlling the drive of the machine. Honda TraxLok® 2WD/4WD modes allow you to drive in both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive modes. The TraxLok electronic front differential lock will allow you to maximize front wheel traction.

CHASSIS

According to Japanese engineers, the new FourTrax Foreman Rubicon ATV has received an upgraded duplex steel frame that demonstrates a reasonable balance between rigidity and torsion elasticity. Indeed, in combination with an engine that has a low center of gravity, and with an exclusively longitudinal shaft system, such a frame is able to give the ATV exceptional properties of good handling. Honda took care to reduce vibration from the engine and exhaust system and therefore “planted” these components and their elements on new, more developed rubber cushions.

The ATV's suspension turned out to be quite energy-intensive and extremely successful in general. The design of the front suspension is independent on two transverse A-arms with a working stroke of 185 mm. The rear suspension has the same design and 216mm of travel. The quad moves very comfortably both on flat, dense soils and on more “furious” rocky areas, despite the fact that the car is equipped with stock quad tires measuring 25x8-12 in front and 25x10-12 in the rear. If you change these tires on an ATV to others, at least 26 inches, then the car will go even more smoothly. The front and rear suspension springs are preload adjustable, allowing the quad to be tuned for different loads or driving conditions.

The front rotor has a diameter of 190mm and the rear 170mm. The brakes are great, there's nothing to say. Very distinct and predictable braking. Handles with excellent modulation - the operation of this system causes only positive emotions in the owners of the quadric.

Note the introduction of a new seat padding material - thicker and softer with a sporty non-slip outer padding. The luggage compartments have become larger and more load-bearing - the front is ready to take 45. 0 kg, and the rear - 85.0 kg. At the same time, the reinforced towing device allows you to tow a trailer with a gross weight of 600 kg.

Now let's summarize how the new 2020 FourTrax Foreman Rubicon ATV model differs from the previous 2019 versionof the year.
