Digital Display with Maintenance Minder
- New digital meter display includes a Maintenance Minder system that signals when it is time for service.
Increased ACG Output
- Thanks to a new neodymium magnet stator design, the new, more powerful ACG produces more electricity, so you can run more Honda Genuine Accessories.
More Comfortable Seat
- For all-day ride comfort there ia a new seat profile, new seat foam and a new “gripper” texture seat cover that add up to give the new 2015 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon one of the best seats we’ve ever engineered for an ATV.
New Dual Range Drive/Low Shifter
- Like a full-sized four-wheel-drive truck, Rubicon DCT models feature a drive/low range in its gearbox, so you can choose the perfect gear for crawling over technical terrain, pulling heavy loads, or cruising on smoother trails.
New Maxxis Tires
- Designed to work perfectly with the Rubicon’s new Independent Rear Suspension, the Maxxis tires feature an aggressive tread pattern for excellent traction in mud, sand, and rocky terrain.
New Reverse/Parking Brake Lever
- Mounted up on the left handlebar along with the parking brake, the Rubicon’s new reverse lever is tough, simple, and easier to use.
Transmission Choices: Automatic DCT or Manual
- Strong internals, fast shifts, excellent control, true compression-braking capability in steep terrain, and an automatic program that upshifts and downshifts while you concentrate on riding—the Honda automatic dual-clutch transmission has it all, including a Drive/Low subtransmssion. We also offer a standard, smooth-shifting manual transmission—a Honda exclusive in an IRS machine.
TraxLok®
- Honda TraxLok® 2WD/4WD system offers 2WD, 4WD, and 4WD mode with locking front differential to optimize traction. TraxLok system incorporates a Speed Override mode that can be engaged when the front differential is locked, which allows increased wheel speed under severe conditions such as deep mud.
