This week our bike of the week is:
2014 Honda Fourtrax TRX680 Rincon -- $6,500
“You could be forgiven for reading the feature list for the Rincon and thinking it belonged to some kind of high-end exotic SUV.
Look at it -- high output engine with a 4-valve cylinder-head design and programmed electronic fuel injection. A fully hydraulic, torque-convertor-style automatic transmission with electronic paddle shifting, shift on the fly selectable four wheel drive and torque sensitive front differential. Four-wheel, long-travel, independent suspension with aluminum alloy control arms and anti sway bar. Powerful front disc brakes coupled with an innovative inboard rear disc brake system, all mounted behind light alloy wheels. It even has full LCD multi-function digital instrumentation and a stainless steel exhaust.
Yes, you could confuse it with an exotic SUV, but not with any other ATV.
Fourtrax TRX680 Rincon. All the marbles.
