Description
Engine & Drivetrain Features
- Maximum efficiency: The rugged OHV liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 420 cc longitudinally mounted engine allows direct driveshaft alignment to both front and rear wheels for maximum drivetrain efficiency.
- 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, fuel efficient: Convenient electric starting, with an automatic internal-decompression system, gets you going quickly. Also equipped with a recoil starter as back-up. The recoil will start the ATV even with a completely dead battery. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system improves power delivery and throttle response, and increases fuel efficiency for extended range.
- Excellent drivability: Super-heavy-duty automatic clutch with low-rpm engagement provides excellent drivability and towing capacity.
- Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT): Automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) provides the compact size and strength of a manual transmission with the convenience of an automatic transmission (plus no belts to slip, break or burn out). In addition to the fully automatic mode, the DCT transmission also allows riders to employ Honda’s Electric Shift Program (ESP) for easy shifts with the touch of handlebar-mounted buttons.
- “Integrated Electric Reverse Shift Lever”: The integrated electric reverse shift lever allows you to select reverse without ever taking your hand off the handlebars. Even, you can by-pass Neutral; D to R which is ideal for plowing or tight maneuvering areas.
- Convenient selector: Handy 4WD/2WD selector lever, mounted on the left-front panel, allows you to engage 4WD when needed for the tough stuff and 2WD when conditions allow.
- Powerful output: Powerful alternator has ample capacity with 450 watts of output.
Chassis & Suspension Features
- Double-cradle steel frame: Double-cradle steel frame developed with Computer Aided Engineering features increased stiffness for even more precise handling and a smoother ride.
- Smooth ride: Double-wishbone independent front suspension offers generous, well-controlled travel, providing a sense of security and control over difficult terrain.
- Dynamic suspension: Independent rear suspension (IRS) design with lower A-arms and upper I-arms features optimized stiffness for improved handling performance. Comfort is also enhanced with longer travel. Adjustable spring preload featured on all shocks allows suspension to be tune to match varying loads and riding conditions.
- Generous ground clearance: Generous ground clearance of 244 mm (9.6 in.) lets you ride over rough terrain with ease. Tough 24-inch front and rear tires provide excellent ground clearance while maintaining precise handling.
- Precise power steering: Electric Power Steering (EPS) provides reduced low-speed steering effort for enhanced maneuverability and decreased kickback for improved all-around steering action. A three-point mounting setup for the EPS system makes the entire steering mechanism more rigid for precise steering, tighter turning radius and excellent manoeuvrability.
- 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: Inboard rear disc brake is mounted on the rear driveshaft, reducing unsprung weight and helping to keep the disc out of harm’s way in rugged conditions. Large 190 mm dual front hydraulic disc brakes offer impressive stopping power.
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.
- Easy maintenance: One-piece tank/side cover allows easy access for maintenance with no tools required.
- 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.
- Pro-Connect™ Rack System: Pro-Connect Rack System for accessories. Mount accessories directly and quickly to the rear or front rack of your Rancher using easy Pro-Connect Rack System (no tools required). Our purpose-built line of Pro-Connect accessories helps to keep your gear in place and more secure wherever you place your items on the rack while maximizing storage. Front and rear steel-tube carriers feature large steel plates and additional tie-down points for improved load security.
- Superior comfort: Seat padding is both thick and soft for excellent comfort.
- Powerful towing: Heavy-duty trailer hitch with 385 kg (849 lb.) towing capacity.
- Multi functional: A host of optional accessories allow you to tailor your Rancher® to your needs.
