Overview

Introducing the 2016 Honda FourTrax Recon, a robust all-terrain vehicle that beautifully balances power, durability, and ease of use. Positioned in the ATV market as an ideal choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike, the Recon is designed for those who crave adventure, whether traversing rugged trails or navigating around the farm. With a price tag of $4,049, it offers exceptional value for riders seeking reliability and performance without breaking the bank. Under the hood, the FourTrax Recon houses a spirited 229cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers reliable power for a variety of terrains. The engine’s design, featuring a bore and stroke of 68.5 x 62.2 mm, provides an excellent balance of torque and horsepower, perfect for off-road excursions. The 5-speed automatic gearbox ensures seamless shifting, allowing riders to focus on the thrill of the ride rather than the mechanics of gear changes.

The Honda FourTrax Recon is not just about power; it’s also packed with features that enhance the overall riding experience. Its independent double-wishbone front suspension and swingarm rear suspension with a single shock provide excellent stability and comfort, absorbing bumps and jolts along the way. The 196 kg (432 lbs) weight adds to its sturdy construction, ensuring that the Recon can handle tough conditions without compromising on performance. With a generous fuel capacity of 9.08 liters, riders can venture further without worrying about frequent refueling. Plus, the electric starter and available color options of vibrant red or green allow for a personalized touch that adds to its appeal. ###
