With a competitive price tag of approximately $4,099, it offers an exceptional blend of performance and functionality, making it an ideal choice for both seasoned enthusiasts and newcomers to the off-roading scene. At the heart of the FourTrax Recon is a spirited 229cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that delivers dependable power for a variety of terrains. Its smooth, automatic clutch and 5-speed gearbox ensure a seamless riding experience, whether you're navigating rocky trails or cruising through open fields. The engine is air-cooled and features a carburetor fuel system, providing a responsive throttle that makes every ride exhilarating. With a lightweight frame tipping the scales at just 432 pounds, the Recon is nimble and easy to handle, allowing riders to confidently tackle steep inclines and tricky descents while maintaining superior control. What sets the 2018 Honda FourTrax Recon apart are its thoughtful features and sturdy construction. It boasts independent double-wishbone front suspension and a swingarm rear suspension, allowing for 5.1 inches of front travel and 4.9 inches at the rear, ensuring a comfortable ride over uneven terrain. With a fuel capacity of 2.4 gallons, you can venture further without the constant worry of refueling. The electric and kick starter options provide peace of mind on those remote adventures, while the rugged design is available in vibrant colors like Olive, Vapor White, and Red. Plus, the warranty coverage of one year reflects Honda's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. **

Pros

  • Dependable Power: The 229cc engine delivers reliable performance for both playful riding and practical tasks.
  • User-Friendly Handling: Lightweight design and automatic clutch make it easy for riders of all skill levels to manage.
  • Comfortable Suspension: Independent front and swingarm rear suspension provide a smooth ride over rough terrain.

Cons

  • Limited Power for Heavy Loads: While great for light to moderate tasks, the engine may struggle under heavier loads or extreme conditions.
  • Drum Brakes: The expanding drum brakes, while effective, may not offer the same stopping power as modern disc brakes.
  • Single-Cylinder Performance: Some riders may find the single-cylinder engine less powerful compared to multi-cylinder options in the class.
