Segment: ATV/Quad
Production years: 2012, 2013
The 2012 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4X4 ES TRX500FE received a very handy upgrade in the shape of the electric shifting system, making operation much easier and allowing even the less experienced riders to feel in full control and providing them with a reassuring feel. The automatic clutch engages instantly and shifts quickly for almost zero power loss between gears, and push-button gearbox operation just couldn't be any simpler.
This makes riding on difficult terrain easier, as operators can now focus more on steering and let the ATV work for them to surmount the obstacles and get past the tightest situations. Solid steel racks can accommodate large loads of gear, tools, camping gear included. This machine is equally happy to help you work outdoors or carry you far from the main roads into the wilderness.
