Automatic Transmission Honda Rubicon

Honda Foreman Rubicon Features & Benefits

For years the Honda Foreman Rubicon has stood tall as a favorite among riders who demand an especially capable ATV, as it built up an iconic reputation for its off-road prowess. The Honda Rubicon 500 has earned its cred the hard way, through years of real-world use. Its unique continuously variable Hondamatic automatic transmission with true engine braking has proven to be efficient, maintenance-free and extremely rugged.

The Honda Foreman Rubicon 500 automatic transmission can be set in different modes for maximum performance or maximum torque, as well as in Electric Shift Program (ESP) mode that gives the rider push-button control. Add in a torque-sensitive front differential along with Honda’s TraxLok selectable 2WD/4WD system plus the option of Electric Power Steering (EPS), and it’s easy to see why so many off-road enthusiasts continue to stick with the Rubicon. New color for 2014 includes White with Black wheels.
