Riders who need 4x4 traction will enjoy the FourTrax Rancher 4x4, a full-size ATV with a torque-sensitive front differential for reduced steering effort, plus the option of Honda's Electric Shift Program.
Features & Benefits
Unique Features
- ES model features ESP® (Electric Shift Program) for push-button upshifting and downshifting. The rider shifts simply and precisely with the press of the upshift or downshift button mounted on the left handlebar. An onboard electronic control module (ECM) monitors information from four sensors--engine rpm, countershaft speed, gear position, and shift spindle angle--to control the speed of the electric shift motor's gear and clutch engagement. Gear engagement speed varies according to rider style: The transmission shifts more quickly when riding style turns sporty. A neutral lockout at speeds greater than 2 mph ensures available engine braking when descending hills. To ensure smooth shifting, the transmission cannot be shifted from neutral to first gear or reverse gear at engine speeds above 3000 rpm. ESP is not battery-dependent, operating whenever the engine is running. Should the rider ever need to shift manually, the Rancher™ ES is also equipped with an auxiliary shift lever in the tool kit.
