Honda rolls out its revolutionary Electric
Power Steering (EPS™) system on the
FourTrax Foreman 4x4 ES. Announced on June
23 by Honda R&D, the breakthrough represents
the world's first EPS system for ATVs. The
EPS system monitors steering torque and vehicle
speed to adjust the levels of steering assist
and feel. When stopped or at low speeds, it
requires a light steering effort. As speed
increases, the amount of assist is adjusted
to provide the appropriate level of feedback.
An added benefit is the system's ability to
act like a steering damper, reducing undesirable
kickback through the handlebars—which
dramatically reduces rider fatigue.
