The FourTrax
Rincon is beyond compare, thanks
to a powerful 675cc engine, independent
rear suspension, electronic fuel
injection, Hondamatic automatic
transmission, four-wheel disc brakes
and an integrated GPScape navigation
system. New White color joins Red,
Olive and NaturalGear™ Camouflage
for 2008.
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®
Rincon® 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.
Honda
Rincon ATV Engine/Drivetrain:
Integrated GPScape®
High-capacity
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.
Advanced design
Longitudinally Mounted Engine
Four-valve cylinder
head with two short pushrods provides
a broad powerband for optimum
performance and engine efficiency.
Programmed Fuel
Injection (PGM-FI)
Reliable cold-weather
starting.
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.
TraxLok®
selectable 2WD/4WD system
Torque-Sensitive
Front Differential
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.
Hondamatic
Automatic Transmission:
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™) (see Technology
Section)
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.
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
geometry variations 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.
A rear center
hydraulic disc brake and self-adjusting
mechanical rear parking brake
are mounted on the rear driveshaft,
further reducing unsprung weight
and contributes to the Rincon's
considerable ground clearance
