Overview

Introducing the 2011 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon, a formidable name in the world of All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs). This rugged machine is designed for outdoor enthusiasts who crave adventure and require reliability in the wild. With a price tag starting at US$ 7699, the Foreman Rubicon offers an exceptional blend of performance, durability, and versatility, making it a top choice for both recreational riders and those who need a dependable workhorse. Honda's long-standing reputation for quality and innovation shines through in this model, which is built to tackle everything from muddy trails to rocky terrain, ensuring that your off-road escapades are both thrilling and manageable. At the heart of the Foreman Rubicon lies a robust 499cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, engineered for power and efficiency. The 36mm constant velocity carburetor delivers responsive throttle response, while the liquid cooling system maintains optimal temperature, ensuring sustained performance even in the toughest conditions. This ATV features an automatic gearbox and shaft drive for seamless transitions and dependable power delivery, allowing riders to focus on the road ahead rather than shifting gears. With a weight of 630 pounds and a ground clearance of 7.5 inches, the Rubicon strikes a balance between stability and maneuverability, making it a standout companion for any adventure seeker. Packed with features, the Foreman Rubicon is designed to conquer various terrains with confidence. It boasts an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a swingarm rear suspension, both offering 6.7 inches of travel to absorb shocks and bumps effectively. Safety is paramount, with a single disc brake at the front and an expanding drum brake at the rear, ensuring reliable stopping power. The electric starter and a variety of color options—Red, Olive, and Camo—allow for personalization, while the one-year transferable warranty provides peace of mind for long-term ownership. Whether you’re navigating trails or hauling gear, the Rubicon’s thoughtful design and technology make it a versatile ATV that’s ready for any challenge. **

Pros

  • Powerful Engine Performance: The 499cc engine delivers robust performance suitable for both recreational use and demanding tasks.
  • Versatile Suspension System: Independent front suspension coupled with a rear swingarm design provides excellent handling and ride comfort over rough terrain.
  • User-Friendly Features: The automatic gearbox and electric starter simplify operation, making it accessible for both experienced riders and newcomers.

Cons

  • Weight Considerations: At 630 pounds, the Foreman Rubicon can feel heavy, particularly in tight or technical situations.
  • Limited Customization Options: While it comes in various colors, aftermarket customization may be limited compared to other models in the category.
  • Fuel System: The carbureted engine may require more maintenance compared to fuel-injected systems, which can be a consideration for some riders.
