- Honda's largest liquid-cooled four-stroke
ATV features a single-cylinder 649cc OHV engine
that provides tremendous torque and dependable
power.
- Honda's automotive-style automatic ATV transmission
draws power through a hydraulic torque converter
to drive three forward gears and reverse.
- The FourTrax Rincon(tm) features Honda's
first fully independent ATV rear suspension
for comfortable cruising over the
toughest terrain.
- Extensive weight-saving measures include
the use of aluminum for the following components:
forged front upper control arms, rear upper
and lower control arms, rear knuckles, front
and rear wheels.
- Exciting SUV styling features flowing fenders
with integrated headlights and taillights.
Engine/Drivetrain
- Liquid-cooled overhead-valve single-cylinder
649cc four-stroke engine is mounted longitudinally
in the frame, allowing direct drive-shaft alignment
to front and rear wheels for improved drivetrain
efficiency.
- Liquid cooling provides consistent engine
operating temperature in extreme conditions
for maximum power output and long engine life.
- Camshaft is located adjacent to the cylinder
head, reducing engine height. Together with
the semi-dry sump, engine height is further
reduced for a low center of gravity and excellent
handling.
- Four-valve cylinder head with two short
pushrods provides a broad powerband for optimum
performance and engine efficiency.
- Nikasil(r)-plated cylinder lining is lightweight
and more durable than conventional steel-sleeve
cylinders.
- Snorkel-type air intake system is specially
designed for water crossings.
- 37mm constant velocity (CV) carburetor features
a unique ribbed float that minimizes fuel sloshing
when riding over rough terrain, minimizing the
evaporation of unburned hydrocarbons.
- Integral electric carburetor heater system
improves driveability and ensures smooth operation
in cold conditions.
- CD ignition with electronic advance for
excellent performance and reliability.
- Engine design produces low emissions and
meets California Air Resources Board (CARB)
off-road emissions standards.
- Stainless steel exhaust system provides
superior corrosion resistance.
- Unique semi-dry-sump oiling system locates
the oil tank inside the engine cases, lowering
engine height and allowing optimum engine placement
for excellent ground clearance and superb handling.
- Standard high-flow oil cooler assures optimal
engine lubrication under difficult operating
conditions.
- The multiple-scavenging oil system utilizes
an oil pump with three sintered steel rotors
(one for feed, two for scavenge) to provide
a stable oil supply in diverse riding conditions.
- Unique temperature indicator uses two sensors
to monitor both oil and coolant temperatures.
- High-capacity coolant radiator is rated
at 20.2 kW for efficient engine cooling in extreme
operating conditions.
- Compact, flat-shaped radiator fan motor
is lightweight and contributes to optimum engine
placement.
- Rubber-cushion engine mounting system and
gear-driven counterbalancer reduce engine vibration.
- Closed crankcase vent system safeguards
against engine oil contamination.
- TraxLok is easily engaged with a simple
thumb-switch on the right handlebar. An electromagnetic
mechanical clutch unit (EMCU) located on the
center of the propeller shaft engages 4WD with
a quiet two-way roller clutch. Unlike mechanical
designs, TraxLok ensures smooth operation by
employing a magnetic switching mechanism that
engages when front and rear wheel speeds vary
by less than 6 mph.
- Torque-sensitive front differential provides
superior traction compared to conventional limited-slip
designs, and reduces torque steer substantially
for less steering effort in 4WD mode.
- The rear drive-shaft joins the rear final-drive
gearcase at a 77° angle, eliminating the weight
and complexity of an additional shaft and joints.
The design also contributes to the Rincon's
considerable 8.0 inches of rear wheel travel.
- USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler.
Honda Automatic Transmission
- The automotive-style Honda automatic transmission
features a hydraulic torque converter, three
hydraulic clutches and an electronic control
unit (ECU) to automatically select one of three
forward gears and one reverse gear. The ECU
monitors throttle opening, vehicle speed, engine
rpm, gear selector position, brake application
and engine oil temperature.
- The Honda automatic transmission shifts
electronically--eliminating unsightly and trouble-prone
vacuum lines--and features engine braking, unlike
conventional belt-drive designs.
- The Honda automatic transmission features
a filtration system to protect against external
contamination. The compact and maintenance-free
design means there are no belts to wear out
and replace. Using multi-filtered engine oil
as hydraulic fluid, the design also simplifies
maintenance and ensures an adequate oil supply
in all operating conditions.
- Electric Shift Program(r) (ESP(r)) allows
the rider to manually select gears by simply
pressing two push-buttons mounted on the left
handlebar.
- A handlebar-mounted control switches the
automatic transmission between ESP mode and
automatic operation.
- A convenient column-style shift lever permits
the rider to easily select Drive, Neutral or
Reverse.
Chassis/Suspension
- A rugged steel perimeter frame and four-wheel
independent suspension provide an exceptional
10.0 inches of ground clearance.
- A separate rear frame utilizes the final-drive
gear case as a stressed member, reducing overall
vehicle weight.
- The Rincon's steering mechanism design allows
light steering effort and a tight turning radius
of 10.8 feet.
- Independent double-wishbone front suspension
uses premium shock absorbers to provide 6.9
inches of suspension travel for a plush, comfortable
ride.
- Honda's independent rear suspension uses
a double-wishbone design and features forged
aluminum knuckles and upper/lower A-arms to
substantially reduce unsprung weight. The rear
knuckle pivots use lightweight metal bushings
in place of conventional ball joints and radius
arms, eliminating toe-in as the rear suspension
travels through its stroke. This simple design
maintains rear wheel alignment and further reduces
unsprung weight, contributing to responsive
overall handling.
- Lightweight single-tube gas-charged rear
shocks and an anti-sway bar provide plush, well-controlled
damping throughout the Rincon's exceptional
8.0 inches of wheel travel.
- Triple-sealed front hydraulic drum brakes
are virtually impervious to dirt and water.
- A rear center hydraulic disc brake and self-adjusting
mechanical rear parking brake are mounted on
the rear drive-shaft, further reducing unsprung
weight and contributing to the Rincon's considerable
ground clearance.
- SUV-type radial tires provide a smooth ride
and exceptional handling.
Tough, large-diameter
25 x 8-12 front tires and 25 x 10-12 rear tires
provide added ground clearance.
- Attractive SUV-style large-diameter 12-inch
aluminum wheels further reduce unsprung weight
and contribute to superb handling.
