The innovative Foreman ES with Electric Shift
Program showcases Honda's legendary performance
and durability with unmatched ease of operation.
Features & Benefits
Engine
ESPͺ (Electric Shift Program) features 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 unit (ECU) monitors information
from four sensors-engine rpm, countershaft speed,
shift drum angle, and shift spindle angle sensors-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 Foreman ES is also equipped with an
auxiliary shift arm in the tool kit.
Powerful, rugged, OHV air-cooled 433cc engine
is longitudinally mounted for improved drivetrain
efficiency.

powerband and compact engine dimensions.
Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven
counterbalancer reduce vibration.

driveability and ensures smooth operation in cold
conditions.
