Overview

Introducing the 2016 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon, a standout in the world of all-terrain vehicles that continues to set the benchmark for durability, performance, and innovation. With a price tag of US$ 7999, this ATV is designed for both recreational enthusiasts and hardworking riders looking for a machine that can tackle a variety of terrains with ease. Honda’s reputation for reliability and performance shines through in the Rubicon, making it a favored choice among those who demand both power and versatility from their ride. At the heart of the Rubicon lies a robust 499cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, delivering an impressive 66.92 horsepower. This powerplant is coupled with a user-friendly automatic gearbox, allowing riders to focus on the trail ahead rather than shifting gears. The liquid cooling system maintains optimal operating temperatures, ensuring that the engine provides consistent performance whether you're cruising through mud or tackling steep inclines. The 36mm constant velocity carburetor further enhances throttle response, while the shaft drive system ensures a smooth transfer of power to the wheels, making your ride as seamless as possible. The 2016 Rubicon isn’t just about raw power; it’s also packed with features designed to elevate your riding experience. The independent double-wishbone front suspension and swingarm rear with dual shock absorbers provide a plush ride, absorbing bumps and rough trails with 170mm of travel on both ends. With a ground clearance of 191mm and an electric starter for convenience, the Rubicon is built to conquer everything from rocky paths to muddy fields. Coupled with a generous fuel capacity of 15.14 liters, you can venture further with fewer stops. Plus, Honda offers a one-year unlimited mileage warranty, ensuring peace of mind for every rider. **

Pros

  • Powerful Performance: The 499cc engine delivers strong horsepower and torque, perfect for various terrains.
  • Comfortable Suspension: The independent double-wishbone front and swingarm rear suspension provide excellent ride quality and stability.
  • Durability and Reliability: Honda’s engineering ensures that the Rubicon is built to withstand rigorous use, making it a long-term investment.

Cons

  • Weight: At 290.3 kg (640 pounds), the Rubicon may feel heavy, especially during tight maneuvering.
  • Limited Color Options: The available color choices may not appeal to those looking for more customization options.
  • Less Off-Road Aggression: While excellent for utility and recreation, it may not match the aggressive off-road capabilities of some competitor models.
