Capability You Can Count On
For many enthusiasts, the Honda Foreman ATV can be considered the original “Do-it-yourself” expert. It has set the highest standards of performance, durability, and overall build quality for the entire category. And it’s all thanks to a capable 518cc engine that’s ready for hard work and hard trail riding. A swingarm rear suspension that’s ideal for towing. Long-travel suspension and a plush seat that provides a comfortable ride all day long. And steel front and rear racks are not just sturdy, but also designed to easily integrate with Honda Pro-Connect™ cargo boxes and other accessories. The Foreman is the ATV for those who never cut corners on the job, or miss a shortcut on the trail. If you want an ATV with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS), check out the Foreman Rubicon. Important Safety Information: Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner’s manual thoroughly.
Power Features
- Powerful 518cc Engine: We gave the FourTrax Foreman a tough 518cc engine that cranks out plenty of horsepower and torque. That enhances the Foreman’s overall performance, and also gives your Foreman excellent hill-climbing ability.
- Semi-Dry-Sump Engine Design: Compact and light-weight, the Foreman’s overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates an engine that’s not only shorter from top to bottom, but one that enhances handling by lowering the center of gravity and increasing ground clearance.
Engineering Features
- Electric Reverse: Available on our Electric Shift Program (ESP) model, this single lever is a big improvement when it comes to convenience and ease of operation. It’s especially useful when you have to shift from forward to reverse repeatedly, like when you’re plowing snow.
- TraxLok®: Our rock-solid TraxLok system lets you select either 2WD or 4WD, giving you the freedom to choose between lighter steering (in 2WD) and maximizing available traction (in 4WD) when you need it most.
- Electronic Differential Lock: When you’re in 4WD mode and you need to get the power to both front wheels, just flip the switch on the electronic differential lock to maximize available traction. The vehicle display will tell you when the diff lock is fully engaged.
- Electric Power Steering (EPS): Both speed- and torque-sensitive, our Electric Power Steering (on Foreman EPS models) excels at reducing steering effort and kickback through the handlebar. It’s a big help when riding in ruts, over rocks or on long side hills. A specially engineered mounting system for the EPS unit increases strength and rigidity.
- Electric Shift Program (ESP): Upshifting and downshifting has never been this easy: With our optional ESP system, you get the ease of push-button shifting with the strength of a conventional transmission. To shift up or down all you have to do is push one of two handlebar-mounted buttons. Since there’s no foot-shift lever, ESP is also a bonus when riding in heavy mud- or snow-covered boots.
- Fuel Injection: By incorporating an oxygen sensor into the system, the Foreman delivers both better fuel efficiency and lower emissions. The ECU instantly adjusts the fuel injection mapping to match riding conditions for maximum fuel efficiency. The result: more time on the trail and more money in your pocket.
- Liquid Cooling: Our time-tested Honda engine is liquid-cooled to provide more consistent operating temperatures and more power than a comparable air-cooled engine. This adds up to better performance and longer engine life.
- Longitudinal Engine Layout: By orienting the engine crankshaft front to back, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.
- Wide Front Driveshaft Guards: Designed to add even more coverage to the Foreman’s front axles and outboard CV joints, the driveshaft guards are another example of how Honda engineers sweat the small details to give you one of the best ATVs on the planet.
- Honda Quality: In addition to all the features that show up on a spec chart, your new Honda Foreman offers something nobody else can match: our well-deserved reputation for quality, superior engineering, and long-term reliability. It’s part of everything we do. You have plenty of choices, but when you choose a Honda, you’re can rest assured that you’re getting the best.
Handling Features
- Swingarm Suspension: The Foreman 4×4 rear swingarm with its solid axle provides superior capability for towing and hauling. Its long suspension stroke and plush seat let you tackle your favorite trail or the toughest chores in comfort all day long.
Convenience Features
- Front And Rear Cargo Racks: The Foreman’s racks feature strong steel construction and a large flat area. Better still, they’re designed so it’s easy to attach and remove cargo boxes and other accessories in our Honda Pro-Connect™ line, adding to your Foreman’s versatility.
- Easy Service Access: The Foreman’s body styling is not only aggressive, it’s functional. It features a tank and side covers that come off in one piece and without using any tools. That means quick and easy access to the engine.
- Digital Meter: In addition to the basics, the Foreman’s instrument panel offers extra information: a clock, water temperature gauge, our “Maintenance Minder” system and indicator for the electronic differential lock.
- 1.9 Front Utility Box: Its the perfect size for small items you want to access quickly—like a cell phone, GPS, or a pair of gloves.
- Assist Headlight: We’re talking about the Foreman’s third headlight here—the one that turns with the handlebar. With a full 50 watts of power, it’ll reliably light the way no matter where you’re headed.
- Powerful Alternator Output: An alternator offering extra output means the Foreman is capable of handling more of your Honda accessory power needs.
- Superior Cargo Capacity: With strong, steel cargo racks front and rear, both offering increased flat surface area than earlier models, the Foreman is ready to carry what you need.
- Extend Your Warranty Coverage: Your new Honda already comes with a great warranty, and a world-famous reputation for durability, reliability, and build quality. But if you’d like to extend your warranty coverage, make sure to check out our HondaCare Protection Plans. You can learn more about them here.
Comfort Features
- Comfortable Seat: A plush seat and open rider triangle (bars/seat/pegs) teams up with the suspension to really treat you right. Superior ergonomics have always been a Honda priority, and the Foreman is no exception. With thick, soft foam, it’s supremely comfortable.
Style Features
- Styling: Our Foreman models’ bodywork still gives these ATVs a tough look that’s designed to last, shrugging off the scrapes and dings of the job or the woods. Crisp lines, powerful graphics and great color choices all ensure your Foreman makes a bold a statement.
- Make It Yours: We’ve engineered a full line of Honda accessories that bolt right up to your new Foreman. Everything from winches, to heated grips, to vehicle protection and more. Plus, our new Honda Pro-Connect™ line lets you attach and detach accessories like our cargo boxes quickly and without tools. Learn more here.
