Press Manager Bill Savino said, "There's the extensive lineup of Honda utility
ATVs that offers plenty of options for just about every job you can dream up.
Over the years our whole line of ATVs has established a well-deserved
reputation for being `built to work' and that notion applies whether you're
spending the day working hard or playing hard. All in all, this is a great way
for Honda to lead off the year, which will feature lots of exciting new options

Foreman Rubicon: Off-Road Icon
There's a very
good reason the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon has gained an iconic reputation for
its off-road prowess: It has earned its cred the hard way, proven 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. This 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 the Rubicon remains a favorite among riders who demand an especially
capable ATV. Availability: June
