Overview

### Discover the 2011 Honda FourTrax Recon: The Versatile Workhorse of the ATV World Introducing the 2011 Honda FourTrax Recon, a compact yet mighty all-terrain vehicle that embodies Honda's longstanding reputation for reliability and performance. Priced competitively at approximately $3,899, this ATV is tailored for both recreational riders and those seeking a dependable workhorse for farm or utility tasks. With its robust design and agile handling, the FourTrax Recon stands out in the entry-level ATV category, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced riders alike. At the heart of the Recon lies a spirited 229cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering a perfect blend of power and efficiency. The engine’s compression ratio of 8.5:1 coupled with a 5-speed automatic transmission ensures smooth, responsive acceleration whether you’re navigating rugged trails or hauling gear. The air-cooled engine, paired with a reliable CD ignition system, guarantees lasting performance in diverse conditions. Riders will appreciate the effortless control offered by the automatic clutch, allowing them to focus on the thrill of the ride rather than shifting gears. The FourTrax Recon doesn’t just excel in performance; it’s loaded with features designed to enhance comfort and usability. The independent double-wishbone front suspension and swingarm rear suspension provide a plush ride, with 5.1 inches of front travel and 4.9 inches at the rear, effectively absorbing bumps and obstacles. Safety is paramount, with double disc brakes in the front and a drum brake in the rear for reliable stopping power. The vehicle is also equipped with an electric starter, making it quick and easy to get going. With a ground clearance of 6 inches, the Recon is capable of navigating uneven terrain with confidence, while the options of vibrant color choices like red and olive ensure you can ride in style. **

Pros

  • User-Friendly Automatic Clutch: The automatic transmission simplifies riding, making it accessible for newcomers while still satisfying experienced riders.
  • Durable and Reliable: Honda's reputation for quality means you can depend on the Recon for years of dependable service.
  • Great for Utility Work: With a strong engine and solid design, the Recon is perfect for hauling, towing, or tackling tough jobs on the farm or job site.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Heavy Loads: While the engine is efficient, it may struggle with heavier loads compared to larger ATVs.
  • No 4WD Option: The absence of four-wheel drive means performance on extremely rough terrains could be limited.
  • Basic Features: Some riders may find the features basic compared to more modern ATVs with advanced technology and performance options.
