2012 Honda Utility ATV & MUV Model Lineup
Rincon, Rancher, & Foreman, Recon, Big Red ATV & MUV Models

The Honda Foreman Rubicon 500 has enjoyed a loyal and enthusiastic following for many years thanks to its Hondamatic transmission, a unique continuously variable, hydromechanical design that gives this ATV formidable off-road prowess. Add to that Honda's easy-to-use TraxLok 2WD/4WD system, a Torque-Sensitive Front Differential and Electric Shift Program (ESP), plus the option of Electric Power Steering and GPScape navigation, and it's clear why the Rubicon has satisfied the wanderlust in so many off-road explorers.

The FourTrax Rancher 4x4 AT carries an impressive blend of innovation, sophistication and hard-working credentials that make it stand out as one of the best picks in the world of ATVs. Riders have the option of choosing between fully automatic transmission operation and an Electric Shift Program (ESP®) mode that allows for easy push-button shifts on command. Also in the mix are an independent rear suspension, selectable 4WD/2WD TraxLok® and a rugged torque-sensitive front differential, plus the option of Electric Power Steering (EPS)—all of which make the FourTrax Rancher 4x4 AT a genuine superstar in the world of off-road riding.

The FourTrax Rancher 4x4 ES comes factory-ready with loads of features that make this remarkable ATV a real winner. Honda's highly regarded Electric Shift Program (ESP®) makes gear shifts as easy as touching a button and there's also selectable 4WD/2WD TraxLok®, a torque-sensitive front differential, fuel injection and more. Opt for the addition of Honda's easy-steering Electric Power Steering (EPS) and you've got yourself one capable partner for work or play - or both.

Thanks to the added traction of 4WD, the full-size FourTrax Rancher 4x4 simply gets the job done, day in and day out. This manual-shift model boasts an impressive list of features including selectable 4WD/2WD TraxLok®, a torque-sensitive front differential and a brawny liquid-cooled fuel-injected 420cc powerplant. In addition, the Rancher 4x4 can be had with the ease and convenience of Honda's Electric Power Steering (EPS).

The FourTrax Foreman Rubicon has earned a stellar long-standing reputation for its off-road capabilities, and for good reason. Its proven, beltless, continuously variable Hondamatic automatic transmission with true engine braking is efficient, maintenance-free and extremely rugged. Add in a torque-sensitive front differential along with Honda’s TraxLok® selectable 2WD/4WD system plus the option of electric power steering, and it’s easy to see why the Rubicon remains the machine of choice among riders in search of an especially capable off-road ATV.

For 2012, the FourTrax® Foreman® line of 4x4 ATVs boasts a brand-new engine plus a re-engineered chassis featuring a new single-shock rear-suspension system—upgrades that make this brawny ranch hand tougher than ever, whether the day calls for nonstop work or a pleasant weekend ride up to that special fishing stream.

Since the inception of this classy mid-sized ATV, thousands upon thousands of riders have made the Honda FourTrax® Recon® a best seller, and that's just the way it should be. A remarkably torquey 229cc OHV engine pumps out delightful levels of performance, while its middleweight size enhances its agile handling traits. With the option of a manual gearbox or Honda's push-button Electric Shift Program (ESP®) the FourTrax Recon continues to deliver just-right performance that gets the job done seven days a week.

In 2011 Honda brought a load of upgrades to the Big Red™ Multipurpose Utility Vehicle (MUV), and these changes continue to elevate this hard-working machine way ahead of all other options. Credit its multiple patents and numerous automotive-based technology features for the praise Big Red has garnered for its superior handling, secure feel and comfortable ride. Yet it works harder than ever, thanks to its 675cc liquid-cooled fuel-injected engine, recently upgraded load carrying and towing capacities, revised suspension, contoured bench seat for easier entry/exit and a Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS) that meets OSHA requirements.
