Whether you’re navigating tight trails, hauling loads, or simply exploring the great outdoors, the FourTrax Recon offers a perfect blend of agility and durability, making it an ideal companion for your adventures. At the heart of the FourTrax Recon lies a spirited 229cc single-cylinder, four-stroke engine that combines power with efficiency. The engine boasts a bore and stroke of 68.5 mm and 62.2 mm, respectively, and is paired with a carbureted fuel system for dependable throttle response. With an automatic clutch and a 5-speed gearbox, riders can easily navigate any terrain without having to worry about manual shifting, making every ride smooth and enjoyable.

With a nimble weight of just under 197 kg (434 pounds), the FourTrax Recon is responsive and easy to handle, allowing for confident maneuverability in challenging off-road conditions. This model is loaded with features that enhance both comfort and functionality. The independent double-wishbone front suspension and swingarm rear suspension provide ample travel, ensuring a smooth ride over rough surfaces. Coupled with a generous ground clearance of 152 mm (6 inches), the FourTrax Recon can navigate obstacles with ease. Safety is prioritized with reliable dual sealed hydraulic drum brakes at the front and sealed mechanical drums at the rear, giving riders the confidence they need on unpredictable terrain. Available in striking color options of Olive and Red, this ATV also features both electric and kick start options, making it ready to go at a moment’s notice. Plus, with a one-year transferable warranty, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you’re backed by Honda's commitment to quality. **

Pros

  • User-Friendly Operation: The automatic clutch and 5-speed gearbox make it easy for riders of all skill levels to enjoy the ATV without the complexity of manual shifting.
  • Dependable Engine Performance: The air-cooled, 229cc engine provides a perfect balance of power and efficiency, ideal for both work and play.
  • Robust Build Quality: The FourTrax Recon’s durable chassis and reliable braking system make it a trustworthy companion on any terrain.

Cons

  • Limited Power Compared to Larger Models: While adequate for most tasks, the engine may feel underpowered for those seeking extreme performance or heavy-duty hauling.
  • Basic Suspension Setup: The suspension, while effective for casual use, may lack the advanced features found in higher-end models for more serious off-road enthusiasts.
  • Weight Considerations: At nearly 197 kg, some riders may find it slightly heavier compared to competitors, which could affect maneuverability in tight spots.
