- Foreman 4x4 EPS (TRX520FM2)
- Foreman 4x4 (TRX520FM1)
When it comes to capturing the true spirit of a versatile ATV, Honda’s Foreman 4x4 is king. This multipurpose ATV is up to any challenge, passing muster doing chores on the farm or spending the day riding trails. With a towing capability of almost 850 pounds, the Foreman can haul just about anything and, thanks to a potent 518cc engine, it powers through muddy terrain, even when hauling a load. Made in the U.S., the Foreman 4x4 is offered in two trim levels: a standard version, and one with Electric Power Steering—perfect for whatever duties the day requires.
ENGINE / DRIVETRAIN
- The 518cc engine delivers strong power and torque where it’s used most—in the low end and midrange—for quick acceleration, strong ascending and excellent hauling and towing.
- Electric Shift-equipped Foreman models have a simple reverse-gear mechanism that makes shifting to reverse a one-lever, fully electric operation that is quick and easy for all hand sizes. This process is particularly helpful for work such as plowing snow, when constant shifting between forward and reverse is required.
- Electric Shift-equipped Foreman models have a shift map that monitors engine rpm in real time during shifting, not just prior to the shift, to deliver smooth transitions from gear to gear.
- The programmed fuel injection system provides clean, responsive power delivery and great fuel efficiency.
- The engine is compact, with a low height that helps centralize mass for optimum handling, and a narrow width that allows for a comfortable rider compartment.
- Honda TraxLok® 2WD/4WD allows both 2WD and 4WD riding with the flip of an electronic switch; 4WD with locking front differential, also engaged electronically, maximizes traction over very rough terrain.
- Speed Override mode in TraxLok 2WD/4WD delivers good performance in deep mud and other extreme terrain, by allowing faster wheel speed with front differential locked.
- Towing capacity is 848 pounds.
- Strong AC generator produces enough power to run electrical accessories.
- California models comply with Green Sticker requirements for year-round legal use at public off-road riding areas.
CHASSIS / SUSPENSION
- Double-cradle steel frame engineered for optimal balance of stiffness, compliance and torsional rigidity for precise handling and a comfortable ride.
- Independent double-wishbone front suspension provides 7.3 inches of axle travel.
- Swingarm-style rear suspension is great for towing, as tongue weight rests directly on the sprung swingarm. It also minimizes body roll and achieves a low center of gravity. Suspension geometry yields 7.3 inches of axle travel and 7.5 inches of ground clearance.
- Adjustable spring preload settings on all shocks to allow suspension adjustment to match riding style or loads carried.
- Dual 190mm front disc brakes and a single 170mm rear disc brake provide strong stopping power.
- Fully serviceable axle bearings and front suspension ball joints, and fully enclosed solid rear axle.
- Rubber mounting of engine and exhaust system minimize vibration and deliver a high-quality chassis feel.
- Available Electric Power Steering for minimal steering effort (especially beneficial when front differential is locked), adjusting for vehicle speed and the steering force being exerted by the rider. EPS also reduces kickback through the handlebar.
- Ergonomics engineered for a riding position that allows ideal rider mobility, control, comfort and safety.
- Contoured, comfortable seat for long days of work or play.
- Handlebar-mounted shifting and drive-mode controls are positioned for easy reach and provide positive tactile feedback, even with gloves.
- Guards extend the full length of the lower suspension arms for full coverage of the driveshaft and outboard CV joints.
- LCD multifunction display is easy to read and provides information on up to 13 functions.
- A 50-watt LED assist light operates independently of the headlights for additional illumination when needed, but with the ability to be switched off, for example to prevent reflection off of front cargo.
- Convenient, simple-to-set parking brake.
- On EPS models, three-point mounting of power-steering system delivers precise steering.
STORAGE / CONVENIENCE
- Front and rear cargo racks accept Honda Pro-Connect accessories for smooth integration.
- Full line of Pro-Connect accessories designed for precise fit, simple attachment with quick-connection latch system, and integrated function.
- A 1.9 liter utility box with weatherproof cover is designed to keep sundries like phone, map and camera within easy access from the riding position (when stopped), complementing the utility box that is placed within easy reach on the left front fender.
