2023 Honda ATV RUBICON DELUXE

When it comes to combining work and fun, there's no multipurpose ATV that gets it done with the ease and comfort of the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon. Built around a tough 518cc engine that offers impressive torque and low- to midrange power, the Rubicon is ready to tow and haul for the toughest jobs, and also to tackle the trails. Its independent rear suspension provides superior comfort and traction, even over rough terrain. The Rubicon is available in four trim levels, including three with Honda's advanced automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (the fourth has a manual transmission), and power steering comes standard on most. All trim levels benefit from the Rubicon's class-leading performance and Honda's legendary reliability. To make this workhorse even more functional and practical, the Rubicon is outfitted with a handy utility box and racks that are designed to accept a selection of Honda Pro-Connect™ accessories.

ENGINE / DRIVETRAIN

• The 518cc engine provides strong power and torque where it's used most—in the low end and midrange—for quick acceleration, easy ascending and impressive hauling and towing.
• Honda's programmed fuel injection system provides clean, responsive power delivery and great fuel efficiency.
• The engine is compact, with a low height that helps centralize mass for optimum handling, and a narrow width that allows for a comfortable rider compartment.
• On DCT versions, switch between fully automatic and manual paddle shifting.
• For DCT versions, manual-override capability allows the rider to manually change gears even when in automatic mode. (The transmission reverts back to fully automatic mode after a few seconds.) This provides a heightened level of control, making it possible to downshift on corner entry or upshift on descents, for example.
• On DCT-equipped versions, Low-range sub-transmission effectively doubles the number of gears.
• Reverse-gear actuation mechanism for DCT-equipped Foreman Rubicon versions makes shifting to reverse a one-lever, fully electronic operation that is quick, simple and easy for all hand sizes. This process is particularly helpful for work such as plowing snow, when constant shifting between forward and reverse is required.
• Honda TraxLok® 2WD/4WD allows both 2WD and 4WD riding with the flip of an electronic switch; 4WD with locking front differential, also engaged electronically, maximizes traction over rough terrain.
• Speed Override mode in TraxLok 2WD/4WD delivers improved performance in deep mud and other extreme terrain, by allowing faster wheel speed with front differential locked.
• Tow capacity of 1,322 pounds.
• For California models, an evaporative emissions device complies with Green Sticker requirements for year-round off-road use at public riding areas.
• Strong AC generator produces enough power to run electrical accessories.

CHASSIS / SUSPENSION

• Double-cradle steel frame engineered for optimal balance of stiffness, compliance and torsional rigidity for precise handling and a comfortable ride.
• Plush, trail-oriented Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) offers a smooth ride, outstanding traction, long travel and good ground clearance.
• Fully serviceable wheel bearings, pivot bushings and ball joints.
• Guards extend the full length of the lower suspension arms for full coverage of the driveshaft and outboard CV joints.
• Adjustable spring preload to tune suspension to match riding style or load.
• Rubber mounting of engine and exhaust system for reduced vibration and high-quality chassis feel.
• Electric Power Steering available for reduced steering effort (especially beneficial when front differential is locked), with a system that adjusts for vehicle speed and the steering force being used by the rider. EPS also reduces kickback through the handlebar.
• The front bumper and grill emphasize the Foreman Rubicon's aggressive stance.
• Ergonomics engineered for a riding position that allows rider mobility, control, comfort and safety. 
• Contoured and comfortable seat for long days of work or play.
• Handlebar-mounted shifting and drive-mode controls are positioned for easy reach and give positive tactile feedback, even through gloves. 
• LCD multifunction display is easy to read and provides information on up to 13 functions.
• Dual 190mm front disc brakes and a single 170mm rear disc brake provide strong stopping power.
• Convenient, easy-to-set parking brake.
