DISCOVER WHAT A RECON CAN DO.
Doing things the smart way saves a lot of sweat and frustration. That’s one of the reasons Honda ATVs are so popular–because they’re such a smart solution. And that’s especially true with our FourTrax Foreman Rubicon family of all-terrain vehicles. With four models in the lineup, it’s easy to choose the right mix of premium features, like our exclusive automatic DCT transmission or our conventional ATV semi-automatic manual. Available electric power steering is a perfect example of working smarter, and so is independent rear suspension (IRS) which is standard on all models and gives you a smooth ride even over rough terrain. Best of all, every Foreman Rubicon features the same reliable 518cc Honda engine, with power and efficiency that punch way above their class.
SEMI-DRY-SUMP ENGINE DESIGN
The overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates a compact and lightweight engine that improves handling by lowering the center of gravity and increasing ground clearance.
LONGITUDINAL ENGINE LAYOUT
By orienting the crankshaft front to back in the chassis, we route the power flow straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.
ELECTRIC SHIFT PROGRAM (ESP)
Found on the ES model, the ESP system features easy upshifting and downshifting with a push-button. No foot-shift lever is needed, making it great when riding in mud/snow-covered boots.
SHAFT DRIVE
The shaft drive is clean, low-maintenance, and efficient, perfect for high-mileage riders. It eliminates the need for lubrication or adjustment on the trail.
COMFORTABLE SEAT
A thick foam seat with a rugged cover is designed for all-day comfort and support.
UNIQUE FLOORBOARD DESIGN
The floorboards are designed to prevent mud and debris while providing a good grip on the rider’s feet.
REVERSE MECHANISM AND PARKING BRAKE
The reverse lever, mounted on the left bar alongside the parking brake, is easy to use without taking your hands off the handlebar.
STEEL CARGO RACKS
The front and rear cargo racks feature rugged steel construction, and can carry a maximum of 33 pounds (front) and 66 pounds (rear).
EFFORTLESS ELECTRIC STARTING
Starting the engine is easy, even in cold weather, with a key turn or a button push. A backup recoil starting system is included for added confidence.
LED TAILLIGHT AND BRAKELIGHT
The taillight and brakelight are both LED, designed to last long and offer dependable lighting.

SEMI-DRY-SUMP ENGINE DESIGN
Compact and lighter-weight, the Recon’s semi-dry-sump and overhead valve designs create an engine that’s not only shorter from top to bottom, but one that enhances handling by lowering the center of gravity while also allowing for better ground clearance.
LONGITUDINAL ENGINE LAYOUT
By orienting the crankshaft front to back in the chassis in our ATV and side-by-side engines, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.
ELECTRIC SHIFT PROGRAM (ESP)
Shifting between gears should always be this easy. With Honda’s available unique ESP system (ES models only), upshifting and downshifting are as simple and fast as pushing one of two handlebar-mounted buttons. ESP is also a bonus when riding in heavy or mud/snow-covered boots.
EFFORTLESS ELECTRIC STARTING
When it comes to starting: Turn a key, push a button, and you’re off, even in cold weather. A backup recoil starting system provides added confidence.
UNIQUELY DESIGNED FLOORBOARDS
Both the Recon and Recon ES have uniquely designed floorboards, which allow the rider’s feet to grip the footrests while helping keep mud and debris away.
COMFORTABLE SEAT
Both the Recon and Recon ES feature a seat with thick foam and a seat cover designed for all-day comfort and support.
