- American Honda today confirmed

four ATV models to the 2018 lineup. Headlining
the announcement is the Honda Pioneer 1000,
which received major updates in 2017. The

only I-4WD brake traction-control system and

Entering its third year in Honda's lineup,
the Pioneer 1000 is powered by a purpose-built
999cc parallel-twin engine and is still the
only side-by-side on the market with an advanced
DCT, a durable beltless transmission that
can be shifted through its six speeds either
automatically or manually (via steering-column-mounted
paddles). Customers can also switch between
standard and sport transmission modes depending
on the conditions, while drive-system modes
include 2WD, 4WD, 4WD Diff Lock, and Turf.

Striking an ideal balance in terms of size
and power, the affordably priced Pioneer 700
has a 675cc liquid-cooled, single-cylinder,
fuel-injected power plant and a low-maintenance,
beltless automatic transmission. Ready to
tow and haul for work, or to hit the trails
on weekend adventures, Honda's midsize multipurpose
side-by-side is available in two- and four-person
configurations, the latter offering the capability
of folding down the rear seats to create more
cargo space in the rear tilt-bed. Deluxe versions
come standard with electric power steering,
painted plastic, aluminum wheels, and a manual
shifting mode with steering-column-mounted
paddles. Long-travel, double-wishbone suspension
at both ends delivers a smooth ride, and owners
can customize their units via a large catalog
of Honda Accessories.
