Foreman 4x4 ATV Unique Features

  • SUV styling features flowing fenders with integrated headlights and taillights for a rugged, adventurous look.
  • Traxlok(R) enables the rider to shift between 2WD and 4WD with the simple push of a switch. Quiet operation and smooth engagement are key features of the system.
  • Torque-sensitive front differential reduces torque steer for less steering effort.
  • Dual front disc brake calipers feature a patented built-in scraper system to remove mud and snow from inside the front wheel to help prevent build-up of debris between caliper and rim to ensure consistent braking performance.
  • Brake pads feature thick long wear material with improved mud durability, feel and control. Feature internal scraper that gives an audible warning when pad life is low.
  • Patented oil cooling system features dual oil coolers for greater cooling capacity.

Foreman 4x4 ATV Engine/Drivetrain

  • Powerful four-stroke 475cc OHV air-cooled longitudinally mounted engine allows direct driveshaft alignment to both front and rear wheels for improved drivetrain efficiency.
  • The overhead-valve arrangement features angled valves in a hemispherical combustion chamber for straighter intake and exhaust flow for improved engine performance.
  • Patented oil cooling system features dual oil coolers for greater cooling capacity. The first cooler is located in the traditional position in front of the engine. The second cooler is mounted higher in a protected position under the front fender away from mud and debris and is fed a cool supply of air through a front fender duct. Oil is first routed to the lower cooler then to the second high-mounted cooler before returning to the engine.
  • Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counterbalancer reduce vibration.
  • Snorkel-type air-intake system is specially designed for water crossings.
  • Integral electric carburetor heater system improves driveability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions.
  • Closed crankcase vent system safeguards against engine oil contamination.
  • USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler is constructed of stainless steel.
  • Traxlok is easily engaged by pushing a switch on the right handlebar. An electromagnetic mechanical clutch unit (EMCU) located on the center of the propeller shaft engages 4WD with a quiet two-way roller clutch. Unlike mechanical designs, Traxlok ensures smooth operation by employing a magnetic switching mechanism that engages when front and rear wheel speeds vary by less than 6 mph.
  • ES model features Electric Shift Program (ESP(R)) for push-button upshifting and downshifting. The rider shifts simply and precisely with the press of the upshift or downshift button mounted on the left handlebar. An onboard electronic control module (ECM) monitors information from four sensors: engine rpm, countershaft speed, shift drum angle and shift spindle angle to control the speed of the electric shift motor's gear and clutch engagement.
  • Gear-engagement speed varies according to rider style: The transmission shifts more quickly when riding style turns sporty. A neutral lockout at speeds greater than 2 mph ensures available engine braking when descending hills.
  • For smooth shifting, the transmission cannot be shifted from Neutral to First gear or Reverse gear at engine speeds above 3000 rpm. ESP is not battery-dependent, operating whenever the engine is running. Should the rider ever need to shift manually, the ES model is also equipped with an auxiliary shift lever in the tool kit.
  • Super-heavy-duty automatic clutch for excellent driveability and towing capacity.
  • Convenient five-speed transmission with Reverse.
    Maintenance-free shaft drive with torque-sensing front differential routes power directly from the longitudinally mounted engine without inefficient directional changes.
  • Convenient electric starter, with auxiliary recoil starter and an automatic internal decompression system.
  • Wet sump with large 3.2-quart capacity.
  • CD ignition with electronic advance for excellent performance and reliability.
    Reusable foam air filter.

Foreman 4x4 ATV Chassis/Suspension

  • Rugged frame and suspension provide an exceptional 7.5 inches of ground clearance.
  • Independent double-wishbone front suspension uses KYB shock absorbers to give 6.7 inches of travel.
  • Steel swingarm and dual KYB rear shock absorbers give 6.7 inches of travel.
  • Rugged, large-diameter 25 x 8-12 front, 25 x 10-12 rear tires provide added ground clearance while maintaining precise handling.
  • Dual 180mm front hydraulic disc brakes and sealed 180mm mechanical rear drum.
