Exclusive NaturalGear
Camouflage color scheme offers
a pattern that's soft, open and
shadow-free for superior camouflage
performance in a wide variety
of conditions.
Honda's largest
liquid-cooled four-stroke ATV
features a single-cylinder fuel-injected
675cc OHV engine that provides
ample torque and dependable power.
Honda's automotive-style
automatic ATV transmission draws
power through a hydraulic torque
converter to drive three forward
gears and reverse.
The FourTrax(R)
Rincon(R) features Honda's fully
independent ATV rear suspension
for comfortable cruising over
the toughest terrain.
Extensive weight-saving
measures include the use of aluminum
for the following components:
forged front upper control arms,
rear upper and lower control arms,
rear knuckles, front and rear
wheels.
SUV styling features
flowing fenders with integrated
headlights and taillights.
Honda
Rincon ATV Engine/Drivetrain
Engine is mounted
longitudinally in the frame, allowing
direct driveshaft alignment to
front and rear wheels for improved
drivetrain efficiency.
Liquid cooling
provides consistent engine operating
temperature in extreme conditions
for maximum power output and long
engine life.
Camshaft is located
adjacent to the cylinder head,
reducing engine height. Together
with the semi-dry sump, engine
height is farther reduced for
a low center of gravity and excellent
handling.
Four-valve cylinder
head with two short pushrods provides
a broad powerband for optimum
performance and engine efficiency.
Snorkel-type
air-intake system is specially
designed for water crossings.
Fuel injection
features 40mm throttle body, 12-hole
two-pattern injector and Idle
Air Control Valve (IACV ).
Reliable cold-weather
starting.
Consistent engine
performance at high altitudes.
Remote-mounted
fuel pump with internal fuel reservoir
maintains consistent fuel-injection
performance in rough and varying
terrain.
IACV valve maintains
consistent idle in all conditions,Engine
design produces low emissions
and meets California Air Resources
Board (CARB) off-road emissions
standards.
Stainless steel
exhaust system provides superior
corrosion resistance and minimizes
noise levels.
Unique semi-dry-sump
oiling system locates the oil
tank inside the engine cases,
lowering engine height and allowing
optimum engine placement for excellent
ground clearance and superb handling.
Standard high-flow
oil cooler ensures optimal engine
lubrication under difficult operating
conditions.
The multiple-scavenging
oil system utilizes an oil pump
with three sintered steel rotors
(one for feed, two for scavenge)
to provide a stable oil supply
in diverse riding conditions.
Unique temperature
indicator uses two sensors to
monitor both oil and coolant temperatures.
High-capacity
coolant radiator is rated at 20.2
kw for efficient engine cooling
in extreme operating conditions.
Compact, flat-shaped
radiator fan motor is lightweight
and contributes to optimum engine
placement.
Rubber-cushion
engine mounting system and gear-driven
counterbalancer reduce engine
vibration.
Closed crankcase
vent system safeguards against
engine oil contamination.
Traxlok(R) is
easily engaged with a simple thumb-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. Traxlok
ensures smooth operation by employing
a magnetic switching mechanism
that engages when front and rear
wheel speeds vary by less than
6 mph.
Torque-sensitive
front differential provides superior
traction compared to conventional
limited-slip designs, and reduces
torque steer substantially for
less steering effort in 4WD mode.
The rear driveshaft
joins the rear final-drive gearcase
at a 77o angle, eliminating the
weight and complexity of an additional
shaft and joints. The design also
contributes to the Rincon's considerable
8.0 inches of rear wheel travel.
USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler.
The automotive-style
Honda automatic transmission features
a hydraulic torque converter,
three hydraulic clutches and an
electronic control unit (ECU)
to automatically select one of
three forward gears and one reverse
gear. The ECU monitors throttle
opening, vehicle speed, engine
rpm, gear selector position, brake
application and engine oil temperature.
The Honda automatic
transmission shifts electronically-
eliminating unsightly and trouble-prone
vacuum lines- and features engine
braking, unlike conventional belt-drive
designs.
Features a filtration
system to protect against external
contamination. The compact and
maintenance-free design means
there are no belts to wear out
and replace. Using multi-filtered
engine oil as hydraulic fluid,
the design also simplifies maintenance
and ensures an adequate oil supply
in all operating conditions.
Electric Shift
Program (ESP(R)) allows the rider
to manually select gears by simply
pressing two push-buttons mounted
on the left handlebar.
A handlebar-mounted
control switches the automatic
transmission between ESP mode
and automatic operation.
A convenient
column-style shift lever permits
the rider to easily select drive,
neutral or reverse.
Honda
Rincon ATV Chassis/Suspension
A rugged steel
perimeter frame and four-wheel
independent suspension provide
an exceptional 10.0 inches of
ground clearance.
A separate rear
frame utilizes the final-drive
gear case as a stressed member,
reducing overall vehicle weight.
The Rincon's
steering mechanism design allows
light steering effort and a tight
turning radius of 10.8 feet.
Independent double-wishbone
front suspension uses premium
shock absorbers to provide 6.9
inches of suspension travel for
a plush, comfortable ride.
Honda's independent
rear suspension uses a double-wishbone
design and features forged-aluminum
knuckles and upper/lower A-arms
to substantially reduce unsprung
weight. The rear knuckle pivots
use lightweight metal bushings
in place of conventional ball
joints and radius arms, eliminating
toe-in as the rear suspension
travels through its stroke. This
simple design maintains rear wheel
alignment and further reduces
unsprung weight, contributing
to responsive overall handling.
Lightweight single-tube
gas-charged rear shocks and an
anti-sway bar provide plush, well-controlled
damping throughout the Rincon's
exceptional 8.0 inches of wheel
travel.
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 buildup
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. Scraper gives audible
warning when pad life is low.
A rear center
hydraulic disc brake and self-adjusting
mechanical rear parking brake
are mounted on the rear driveshaft,
further reducing unsprung weight
and contributing to the Rincon's
considerable ground clearance.
SUV-type radial
tires provide a smooth ride and
exceptional handling. Tough, large-diameter
25 x 8-12 front tires and 25 x
10-12 rear tires provide added
ground clearance.
Attractive SUV-style
large-diameter 12-inch aluminum
wheels further reduce unsprung
weight and contribute to superb
handling.
