engine we’ve developed for these new Pioneers,”
said Lee Edmunds, Manager of Motorcycle Marketing
Communications at American Honda. “We’ve also

Immediately assuming its position as the
clear leader in the full-size multipurpose
SxS category, Honda’s new-from-the-ground-up,
no-compromise Pioneer 1000 is powered by a
purpose-built inline, twin-cylinder, Unicam®
999cc engine. It’s also the first side-by-side
with a 6-speed fully automatic DCT, a state-of-the-art
beltless transmission that is durable, efficient
and easy to use. Designed, developed and produced
according to Honda’s holistic methodology,
the largest Pioneer is smooth-riding and extremely
versatile.
