Segment: ATV/Quad
Production years: 2009, 2010
Boasting a special-edition, Made-for-Canada suspension, the 2009 Honda FourTrax TRX500FG CTE Canadian Trail Edition Rubicon comes with extreme terrainability and is capable of handling pretty much anything you might throw at it. The electric power steering reduces kickback and helps turning more easily at low speed; the reduced effort means you could ride an entire day and be less tired than when aboard other ATVs.
Electric shifting and the automatic clutch make sure there is no power loss between the gears, so tackling difficult terrain is now safer and more rewarding. Selectable 2/4WD adds max grip on the fly, while the shaft drive needs no maintenance and delivers consistent performance in the hardest conditions.
