Honda stuns the ATV world with the four-valve
liquid-cooled 500cc single-cylinder four-stroke
Rubicon™ equipped with the revolutionary
new Hondamatic™ automatic transmission.
The Hondamatic is compact, quiet, rugged,
maintenance-free and sealed against external
contaminants, and it features engine braking-all
refinements lacking in less sophisticated
belt-drive transmissions. Honda's most powerful
multipurpose ATV, the Rubicon features many
innovative design features found on its siblings:
longitudinally mounted, dry-sump OHV engine;
torque-sensing front differential; and ESP-controlled
shifting in addition to the automatic shifting
modes.
