Foreman delivers big-bore power in a two-wheel-drive
package that's loaded with Honda features.
Features & Benefits
Unique features
- SUV styling features flowing fenders with
integrated headlights and taillights for a rugged,
adventurous look.
- New dual front disc brake calipers feature
a patented built in scraper system to remove
mud and snow from inside the front wheel to
help prevent build-up of debris between caliper
and rim to ensure consistent braking performance.
- Brake pads feature thick long wear material
with improved mud durability, feel and control.
Pads feature internal scraper that gives audible
warning when pad life is low.

dual oil coolers for greater cooling capacity.

Engine/Drivetrain

longitudinally mounted engine allows direct
drive shaft alignment to both front and rear
wheels for improved drivetrain efficiency.

angled valves in a hemispherical combustion
chamber for straighter intake and exhaust flow

The first cooler is located in the traditional
