The 2008 Honda TRX500FG CTE Canadian Trail Edition Rubicon sports several premium upgrades over the base version, making this machine even cooler, even though for Canadian riders only. This ATV comes with Honda's acclaimed Electric Power Steering and the made-for-Canada suspension calibration for easier directional control with less fatigue. Other premium features include the GPScape, Electric Shift Program, watertight storage, and special-design front brakes.
This ATV also offers a selectable 2WD/4WD, while the fully-sealed Hondamatic transmission delivers constant performance even in the wet without the need for constant maintenance. This ATV also comes with two traction modes: D1 for max performance and D2 for very low traction situations, both with true engine braking for steep gradients.
