No frills, only sheer performance: if these two are among the main criteria for your dream middleweight ATV, then your search is over, as the 2008 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4X4 TRX500FM is waiting for you. Hop aboard this quad with a revised, softer seat and hit the trails: this machine was built for both working hard far from the main roads, and for more casual, recreational riding and off-road explorations.
The bulletpoof 475cc longitudinal engine is mated to a sealed 5-speed transmission with automatic clutch, while electric shifting allows the rider to select 2WD or 4WD. A torque-sensitive front differential allows for better traction when the going gets tough, too. And with the built-in brake disc scraper, removing mud and snorkel air intake, you can be sure the 2008 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4X4 TRX500FM will offers constant performance even in the roughest scenarios.
