The Honda Big Red’s roomy cab features rubber-mounted
seats with adjustable backs designed to comfortably
fit a wide range of body types while also reducing
fatigue on long drives. The design of the three-point
Emergency Locking Retractor (ELR) seat belts are
similar to automotive type belt systems. The belt
deploys from a housing that features a topside
slot narrow enough to resist entry of debris,
and the bottom has a port to allow debris to exit
and reduce accumulation within the belt housing.
Net result: consistent operation and longer seat
belt life.
An automotive-type fuel system shut-off, plus
Big Red’s uniquely designed, four-pillar,
six-piece 41.3mm-diameter (1.6-inch) Occupant
Protection Structure (OPS) provides occupants
with peace of mind. Big Red’s interior
also features thoughtful touches such as a waterproof
accessory socket ideally placed between the
bucket seats for easy access to 12-volt power,
a glove box and dash storage for quick access
to small items.

Honda engineers paid particular attention to
minimizing maintenance chores on Big Red as
well. In addition to equipping Big Red with
a maintenance–free battery and shaft final
drive, Honda engineers located the engine oil-filler
and dipstick under the driver’s seat,
which detaches quickly. Access to the air filter
is as easy as lifting the tilt-bed, which reveals
the high-mounted air filter box.
Powered by a 675cc fuel-injected four-valve
engine that features shaft drive and three different
selectable drive modes, Big Red boasts a spacious
tilt bed measuring 33.0 by 52.6 by 10.3 inches,
fully independent front and rear suspension,
four-wheel disc brakes, a wide track for confidence-inspiring
handling and a host of available accessories
designed to deliver long-lasting durability
for commercial and recreational applications.

700-CLASS POWER |
At the very heart of Big Red you’ll find
a powerful four-stroke liquid-cooled OHV 675cc
engine that feeds power to the wheels through
a three-speed automatic transmission. This big-bore
single-cylinder powerplant features a bore and
stroke of 102mm x 82.6mm. To reduce engine height,
lower the center of gravity and enhance handling,
the camshaft is located adjacent to the cylinder
head and pushrods are employed to actuate the
valves This four-valve cylinder head design
provides a broad powerband for plenty of grunt.
In addition, a liquid-cooled oil cooler aids
heat dispersion in Big Red’s engine. The
liquid in this system warms quicker than the
engine oil, so it also helps to speed the warm-up
process on cold days. And by cooling the oil
on hot days, this system helps to maintain optimum
engine operating temperature over a wide range
of climate conditions. Additionally, Big Red
features a high-mount radiator located behind
the front grill where mud is less likely to
clog the fins, reducing the effectiveness of
the radiator.
