Honda's first full-size, two-wheel-drive ATV. It's full-size everywhere you look-including the Rincon-inspired styling. It starts with a huge 500-class engine, front disc brakes and value as big as its performance. Where it ends, is up to you.

Engine/Drivetrain

Powerful four-stroke 475cc OHV air-cooled longitudinally mounted engine.

This engine's overhead valve arrangement features angled valves in a hemispherical combustion chamber for straighter intake and exhaust flow for improved engine performance.

Oil is first routed to the lower cooler then to the second high-mounted cooler before returning to the engine.
