Key specifications
Overview
Introducing the 2010 Honda FourTrax Rancher, a robust all-terrain vehicle (ATV) that embodies Honda's commitment to reliability and versatility. Positioned in the market as a dependable workhorse, the Rancher is designed for both the casual rider and those who depend on their machine for tough tasks. Whether you’re tackling rugged trails or hauling heavy loads, the Rancher’s blend of strength and agility makes it a popular choice among enthusiasts and farmers alike. With various color options, including striking red and classic olive, it not only performs well but also stands out on any landscape. At the heart of the FourTrax Rancher is its impressive 420cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, designed to deliver a perfect balance of power and efficiency. With a compression ratio of 8.5:1 and a Keihin 34mm throttle-body fuel-injection system, the Rancher provides smooth acceleration and responsive throttle control. Riders will appreciate the seamless shifting offered by its 5-speed automatic clutch, allowing you to focus on the terrain ahead rather than fiddling with gears. Moreover, the liquid-cooling system ensures the engine operates efficiently even during extended rides, making it an ideal companion for those long days out in the field or on the trail. One of the standout features of the 2010 Honda FourTrax Rancher is its rugged chassis and suspension system. The independent double-wishbone front suspension and swingarm rear suspension with a single shock provide 6.3 inches of travel at both ends, ensuring a comfortable ride over rough terrain. With a ground clearance of 165mm, the Rancher can easily navigate obstacles, while its reliable double disc front and drum rear brakes offer excellent stopping power. Additionally, the electric starter provides convenience and reliability when you’re ready to hit the road. The 13.24-liter fuel tank ensures you can venture far without constant refueling, making it a practical choice for both work and play. **
