Engine & Drivetrain |
Efficient engine
Rugged liquid-cooled 420 cc longitudinally mounted engine allows direct driveshaft alignment to both front and rear wheels for maximum drivetrain efficiency. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system improves power delivery and throttle response, and increases fuel efficiency for extended range. |
Broad powerband Overhead-valve design provides compact engine dimensions for improved ground clearance while maintaining a broad, easy-to-use powerband. |
Reduced vibration Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counter-balancer reduce vibration. |
Easy start
Convenient electric starting, with an automatic internal-decompression system, gets you going quickly. Also equipped with a recoil starter as back-up. |
Tough transmission Rugged five-speed transmission with foot shifter and automatic clutch lets you precisely choose the gear you need. Super-heavy-duty automatic clutch with low-rpm engagement provides excellent drivability and towing capacity. |
Convenient selector
Handy 4WD/2WD selector lever, mounted on the left-front panel, engages 4WD when needed for the tough stuff and 2WD when conditions allow. |
Strong output Powerful alternator has 416 watts of output available. |
Chassis & Suspension |
Adjustable suspension Adjustable spring preload featured on all shocks allows suspension tuning to match varying loads and riding conditions. Double-cradle steel frame developed with Computer Aided Engineering features increased stiffness for even more precise handling and a smoother ride. |
Tough, large-diameter 24-inch front and rear tires provide excellent ground clearance of 183 mm (7.2 in.) while maintaining great handling characteristics. Front and rear suspension feature 170 mm (6.7 in.) of travel at both ends for a plush and controlled ride. |
Trail ready Enclosed-axle type swingarm optimizes stiffness for improved toughness and durability, and excellent handling performance. Rubber swingarm pivot bushings provide increased low-speed ride comfort and extra durability. |
Durable design
Plastic CV joint boots are durable and tear- resistant with sealed steering-knuckle bearings for extended durability. Steering-mechanism design allows a tight turning radius for excellent manoeuvrability. |
Stopping power
"Large 190 mm dual front hydraulic disc brakes provide strong, consistent stopping power. Rear drum brake is located inside the right rear wheel for improved durability and increased ground clearance." |
Additional Features |
Rugged design
Durable bodywork offers excellent mud and debris protection. Full-length synthetic lower skidplate with integrated front brush guard provides extra protection against damage from rocks, sticks or other obstacles. |
Strong visibility
Twin-headlight system features powerful 35-watt bulbs for improved light distribution. |
Extended range Large fuel tank with 14.7-litre capacity (including a 4.9-litre reserve) provides extended range. Fuel pump derived from Honda automobile technology mounts in the fuel tank for better heat isolation and increased filter life. |
Intuitive display Full-function instrumentation gives the dash a modern look while providing information at a glance. There’s even a Maintenance Minder system that notifies when it’s time for service. |
Superior comfort Seat padding is both thick and soft for excellent comfort. |
