Overview

Introducing the 2017 Honda FourTrax Recon, a compact and rugged ATV designed for those who crave adventure without breaking the bank. With a price tag starting at US$ 4049, this versatile machine is perfect for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. Honda has positioned the FourTrax Recon as an ideal choice for trail riding and utility tasks, offering a blend of performance, reliability, and comfort that’s hard to beat in its category. Whether you're navigating through dense woods, tackling rocky terrains, or enjoying a leisurely ride, the Recon promises to deliver a well-rounded experience. At the heart of the FourTrax Recon lies a powerful 229 cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine, offering a perfect balance of torque and efficiency. The automatic clutch and 5-speed gearbox ensure seamless shifting, making riding effortless, especially when navigating varying terrains. With a bore and stroke of 68.5 x 62.2 mm, this robust engine is designed to provide strong low-end power, which is particularly advantageous for hauling or climbing steep inclines. Coupled with its air-cooled design, the engine remains durable and dependable across extended rides, ensuring you can tackle the toughest trails without worry. The Recon is packed with features and technology aimed at enhancing your ride. With an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a swingarm with a single shock at the rear, this ATV offers an impressive 130 mm of front travel and 124 mm of rear travel, ensuring a smooth ride over rough terrain. The sturdy drum brakes provide reliable stopping power, while the 9.08-liter fuel tank allows for ample range on your adventures. Riders will appreciate the electric starter, which eliminates the hassle of kick-starting, and the choice of vibrant colors like Red and Green, allowing for a personalized touch. Additionally, with a generous ground clearance of 152 mm and a manageable seat height of 792 mm, the FourTrax Recon is accessible and easy to handle for riders of all sizes. **

Pros

  • Compact and Lightweight: At just 196 kg, the Recon is agile and easy to maneuver, making it ideal for both new and experienced riders.
  • Reliable Engine Performance: The 229 cc engine provides a strong low-end torque for tackling a variety of terrains, ensuring dependable performance.
  • User-Friendly Features: With an automatic clutch and electric starter, the Recon offers a hassle-free riding experience, perfect for prolonged excursions.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Heavy Tasks: While the engine is efficient for recreational riding, it may struggle with heavier loads or more demanding utility tasks compared to larger ATVs.
  • Basic Suspension Setup: Although the suspension is adequate for most trail conditions, it may not provide the same level of comfort as more advanced systems found in higher-end models.
  • Drum Brakes: While functional, the drum brake system may not offer the same level of responsiveness as disc brakes, particularly in wet conditions.
