Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon Joins New-Model Release for 2012

To add to the extensive list of models available for the 2012 season, Honda announces another release for 2012, the much-praised FourTrax® Foreman® Rubicon™ ATV. The FourTrax Foreman Rubicon joins the comprehensive assortment of 2012 Honda street bikes and off-road machines that offer multiple choices to fill just about every niche in today's riding scene.

"The FourTrax Foreman Rubicon fills out the amazingly broad range of ATVs Honda has to offer in 2012, and it is now available," said Powersports Press Manager Bill Savino. "The FourTrax Foreman Rubicon along with the Rincon cap off the full-size multi-purpose ATV lineup with two distinctly different alternatives, while the FourTrax Foreman, Rancher and Recon families offer a wide variety of hard-working and recreational options. Add to that an incredible array of sport ATVs ranging from the rider-friendly TRX90X to the Baja-winning TRX450R plus the hard-working Big Red MUV, and you see a lineup that places Honda at the head of the four-wheel category. We now see that the industry is turning the corner as sales continue to improve and we've been working hard to get our dealer network placed in a position with great products at a high value. We believe that consumers will respond to the many options they can choose from and will enjoy once they enter a Honda showroom."

n FourTrax Foreman Rubicon: Loaded with Technology and Off-Road Prowess
The FourTrax Foreman Rubicon has earned a stellar long-standing reputation for its off-road capabilities, and for good reason. Its proven, beltless, continuously variable Hondamatic automatic transmission with true engine braking is efficient, maintenance-free and extremely rugged. Add in a torque-sensitive front differential along with Honda's TraxLok® selectable 2WD/4WD system plus the option of electric power steering, and it's easy to see why the Rubicon remains the machine of choice among riders in search of an especially capable off-road ATV. Price: $7,899 - $8,899; Availability: October 2011
