2009 Honda ATVs Preview

12-6-2008

The return of Big Red
With the launch of the all new Big Red, Honda is setting out to conquer the  side-by-side utility market segment with the first Honda ATV designed specifically for work.

Big Red features a number of patented components designed to shake things up in the conservative segment, such as rubber-mounted seats to reduce vibrations for the riders, and a tilting cargo bed equipped with a high impact skid proof floor.

The Big Red will be the first Honda entirely designed for working conditions.

The "big" machine is powered by the same single-cylinder, OHV engine found in the Rincon 680 ATV. This 675-cc mill uses a shallow dry-sump to lower the center of gravity of the machine while maintaining ground clearance. Power is transmitted via a 3-speed automatic transmission that also features driver selectable short and long final ratios, an essential feature on a working ATV.

The introduction of Big Red as well as the better equipped Canadian Trail Edition ATVs are certainly good news for prospective buyers.
