Well I mean quite frankly forget diff lock and power steering at the least before Getty greedy just a 5 speed DCT like what’s in a actual rubicon would be outstanding for the 680 motor
I like the idea. Something’s that would make it a BIG winner 1- honda-matic transmission instead of that 3 speed crap 2- all led lights 3- power steering. 4- ever since Honda put those two spark plugs in this engine in 2016 the engine loss a lot of power and sounds completely different. That actually goes for all their engines, but that’s because of all the emissions pressure added.
Good info Josh. - - - To me, it looks like a bit of a Frankenstein. It has the rear end & body of the Rincon with the front end of the Rubi slapped onto it. It's even still smaller than the Rubicon body. - - - No power steering. Same antiquated suspension with less travel than the Rubi. Same 3 speed tranny with no low range. In Canada, the tire size is still 25". Yeah, it's basically just an old Rincon with an upgraded reverse button, diff-lock, Rubi grill and the Rubi label. - - - Not something I'd buy, but for someone who runs big roads (as opposed to trails), they'd probably like the top end as I'm guessing it would be faster than an automatic Rubi. Although, if that's all you use it for, then a standard shift Rubi for less money would also give you the top end you're looking for. - - - Anyway, it's very interesting that Honda has done this. Not sure what they're trying to accomplish; maybe just testing out the market for a newer version of the Rincon???? Kind of a dumb way to do it though. In my opinion, the only people who will buy this are the die hard Honda fans looking for something with a bigger engine, but those sales stopped in 2015 when the new Rubi came out, so I'm not sure what would make them think they'll have success now with this ugly thing. Very interesting. Thanx for letting us know!
Yamaha is in serious trouble with this one. Honda really innovated. Yamaha better panic and drop the all new 2025 Yamaha Polar Bear 850-1000 ATV Line up Tomorrow Morning In Response To Honda.
It's literally a rincon just with a face lift...
Exactly, need a 700cc twin with a 5 speed. That would be badass
It simply just needs 5 speed transmission and it would be awesome

@@brodyscott3297and diff lock and power steering and a factory hitch.

Just a 680 with different plastic and higher price. Don’t know what Honda was thinking on this one

looks nice lets see how it performs

Its the same exact motor but they just bumped the number yp
What the heck is honda thinking. A old honda rincon with no power steering or diff lock and no low range.but with new plastic body work.
Why are you looking at a Kodiak?
Yamaha isn’t even in trouble, they probably laughed at Honda when the “rubicon” dropped
They better reveal the 2025 Yamaha Polar Bear 850-1000 ATV Line up to keep up with Honda
@@JoshuaOverman the 700 grizz is fine right now, that rubicon isn’t a comparison
@SmithWeldingFabrication rubicon 500 and 520 are better than the 450 grizz, 450 grizz is gutless as fuck lmao
@SmithWeldingFabrication to me, the 450 felt absolutely gutless compared to a rubicon, 700 grizz can’t really be compared to a 500 or 520
No thank u. I ll keep my grizz.
Pointless, geared too high and no front locker. Not a real update.
Rincon
yamaha killer? no diff lock no power steering lol 😂
