Overview

Introducing the 2021 Honda FourTrax Recon, the ultimate companion for off-road enthusiasts who crave versatility and reliability in their adventures. Positioned in the ATV segment, the FourTrax Recon is designed for riders who seek a perfect balance between rugged performance and ease of use. Whether you’re navigating through dense trails, tackling steep inclines, or hauling gear across varied terrains, this machine stands out as a stalwart choice for both seasoned riders and newcomers alike. Honda’s reputation for quality and durability is encapsulated in this model, ensuring that every ride is not just enjoyable but also dependable. At the heart of the FourTrax Recon is its robust 229cc longitudinally-mounted engine. This air-cooled powerhouse delivers impressive torque and responsiveness, making it not just efficient but also fun to ride. The 5-speed automatic transmission, paired with a shaft drive, ensures smooth power delivery across all terrains, allowing riders to focus on the thrill of the ride rather than gear shifts. The carbureted fuel system with a 22mm carburetor enhances fuel efficiency, particularly for those long days out in the wild.

Beyond its impressive engine and performance, the 2021 FourTrax Recon boasts a range of features that enhance the overall riding experience. With both electric and kick-start capabilities, starting the engine is a breeze, ensuring you’re ready to hit the trails in moments. The ATV comes in eye-catching color options like Beige, Active Yellow, and Red, allowing riders to express their style. Safety and control are prioritized with dual sealed hydraulic drum brakes in the front and sealed mechanical drums in the rear, providing reliable stopping power. Additionally, Honda offers a 1-year transferable warranty, showcasing their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. **
