Overview

Introducing the 2016 Honda TRX500FA7, a formidable contender in the world of all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). This model is expertly designed for both recreational and utility purposes, making it a versatile choice for outdoor enthusiasts and professionals alike. With Honda's legendary reputation for reliability and performance, the TRX500FA7 stands out with its rugged construction and advanced technology, ensuring it can tackle any terrain with confidence. Whether you’re traversing dense woods or navigating rocky trails, this ATV promises to deliver an exhilarating experience. At the heart of the TRX500FA7 is a robust single-cylinder, four-stroke engine with a displacement of 475cc. This powerplant is engineered to deliver a harmonious blend of torque and responsiveness, thanks to its advanced Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system and liquid cooling. The dual-clutch transmission ensures seamless gear shifts, making your ride smooth and effortless. With a bore and stroke of 92.0mm x 71.5mm, the engine’s design promotes efficient combustion, providing ample power for climbing steep inclines and powering through challenging terrain. The automatic gearbox allows riders to focus on the ride without worrying about manual shifting, making it perfect for both seasoned riders and newcomers. The TRX500FA7 is packed with features that enhance both comfort and control. Its sturdy double-cradle steel frame provides excellent stability, while the independent double-wishbone front suspension and independent dual-arm rear suspension offer a remarkable 185mm and 216mm of travel, respectively. This ensures that the ATV can absorb bumps and uneven surfaces, providing a plush ride even in the most rugged conditions. With a ground clearance of 249mm, riders can confidently navigate obstacles without worrying about undercarriage damage. Additional highlights include a generous fuel capacity of 14.7 liters, ensuring that you can venture out for longer rides without frequent stops for refueling. Plus, the electric and kick starter options add convenience for any situation. **

  • Advanced Suspension System: With over 8 inches of rear travel, the independent suspension ensures a smooth ride over rough trails.
  • User-Friendly Features: The automatic transmission and dual starter options make it accessible for riders of all experience levels.

Cons
