Its funny to see people complaining about power when they only go 15 mph on trials
15 mph max this thing is underrated atvs aren’t really made for speed in general that’s a dirt bike thing
@@dawson_bruinsma8218 Some what disagree. Up here in central NY, we have 100s of miles of trails. All trails were you are easily able to ride all day at 60mph or more. Even my old sportsman 700 twin can keep up being able to reach 65mph with ease.
I know right. What is the point really going fast on backwoods trails?
Man. I can't lie. I have a 15 year old Honda Rancher. And other than putting gas, oil, and tires on it. It still runs like a champion. The kids love it, and that's what I use it for. Simple, reliable, fun for the guests.
With that said I haven't bought another one. I needed more power and had to get a CanAm and now a Polaris 1000 to be able to get thru some of the terrain that I ride. Both of those bikes have had multiple times in the shop from everything electrical, mechanical, and suspension issues.
I wish Honda would make a 800 or 1000 with some real suspension. That would be a game changer for the quad market. A great performing, powerful, reliable, machine.
That's why I won't even consider the domestic brands. Power is nothing when you're broken down on the trail. Funny, I was on my way to my cottage and passed a flat bed tow truck with a Polaris rzr on board.
Turbo TDI if it was on a flatbed, it was probably pulled over and it wasn’t street legal, left abandoned somewhere, etc
Can't beat Honda reliability. They are expensive. For the price of this Honda 500 you could get into the 800 range elsewhere. I prefer knowing I'll get to my destination. I wish my 2018 Honda had more power for sure, but it's good enough for what I do and it's needed nothing but oil changes.
Music to my ears! I I love my Rancher!
Well said, honda need to make a 850 Foreman with 28" stock tyres, front and rear winch, bigger rear rack more like a bed, sockets for using equipment when out on the field etc. They need to up their game!
They put the 1000 in the aftrica twin, the pioneer, and the talon. Drop that in a ATV please.
spyder000069 wow that would be awesome!
Grizzy Bear don’t buy it then dumbass🙄
Grizzy Bear it’s not like all Honda’s are gonna be 1000s now there’s still other options fucktard
@Grizzy Bear It's not about you, it's about opening your product to other markets. You can still buy your basic hunting quad. What about the people that want more though? Stop being selfish.
I bought one of these partly based on this review...have 10 hrs on it so far and love it. The reverse gear process is a much needed improvement. It is low powered compared to most other machines but my last ride was at 16MPH max speed...12 MPH average. The terrain was tough and tight...the Rubicon was the perfect machine for that trail.
Awesome!!
I bought a 2016 new and I am still extremely happy with it. Zero trips to the shop! For hunting and property work it is extremely capable. I have never found a chore it couldn't handle. You can't beat gear on gear for low end and reliability. It goes plenty fast. I have no need to go over 45 mph on an atv.
I love my Rubicon 500!! Has never let me down (yet lol). Ya it's slow but at least I know it will start and get me home every time!!!
Same with toyota and their offroad game. Yeah they're slow and under powered by they'll get you there. Lol honestly, no matter how you look at it, you'll get to the destination eventually no rush :)
My Honda rancher 350 has 13 hp. Pulls moose, trailer up hills (1500lbs).
I have a 2013 Foreman 500, pulled my 4 door truck up over a concrete lip and into my garage....tows my boat for a joke.
Finally Honda got the good review it deserves
Hell yes
I know my 03 Yamaha Kodiak 400 sucks i should have bought a Honda. I own Hondas such as Automotive Division vehicle’s
More like Honda finally paid for a good review it deserves. Thats all dirt trax is. Paid advertisement 🤷🏼♂️
Personally (yup my opinion only) Honda has had the best engine for reliability/longevity but lacked in keeping up with chassis design, like IRS. Not sure why but Kawasaki took a while too. I think this is why farmers bought Honda’s, dead reliable and they were not out trail riding for fun. I will never forget riding an early Yamaha , had to avoid EVERY pothole, jumped onto a Polaris.....wow what a difference! Went over the potholes at high speeds without a care!
The reason I am thinking about this bike....the transmission. No more belts! I am much older now and really don’t think I need or will use a big bore machine so I just want a reliable trail machine .
There are two reasons people buy Honda’s
#1 it’s a HONDA!
#2 no BELT!
my reasons exactly
100%
i owned a 2014 foreman 500 esps purchased it new nothing but problems. I'll never buy a honda
$60 and 30 minutes I can replace a belt. Not that I ever had a belt go bad. Rubicon 500 not the 475 or new 520 $3000 and you can have your transmission fixed...
arnoni11 should have bought the foot shift, old school !!!
I was drinking the Honda Kool-Aid for about 25 years. Lived Honda, breathed Honda and even worked for Honda building their cars and SUV's. Having owned two Honda Ranchers and recently a Pioneer 700 I decided to sell my two Ranchers, because the kids or wife wasn't riding them, and bought a 2019 Yamaha Kodiak 700. Prior to making the switch I immediately started looking at Honda's line up, the Rubicon 520. I thought, why. I started looking at other brands specifically Yamaha. I looked at HP ratings and reliability. The 'domestic' brands were out of the question because of reliability issues. My Pioneer 700 with it's lack luster power, especially with 4 people on board, had me convinced to try Yamaha. Glad I did. Yeah Honda has no belts and their machines are bullet proof but Yamaha is just as reliable and has the best CVT system on the market. The Kodiak ride and power was night and day compared to the Honda's I did own. I almost drunk the Honda Kool-Aid again. Sorry Honda.
I dont understand why they havent stepped up the hp across the lineup. I grew up on honda and yamaha, they were always right there with each other and the best out there. Now idk what honda is going for. With the exception of the Talon it seems like they sell pure boredom these days. Still good machines but lost their edge.
@@SketchyXC Ya want to really know why they do what they do? I've learned that when they established their name back in the 1990's their sales skyrocketed and they got the loyal customer base. Like one poster on this page put it, "It's a Honda". So the company 'thinks' they can sell products based on the Honda name and emblem while cost cutting and doing very little R&D. Seriously though...they went from a 500 to a 520?? Typical. Just like their Civics, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, and so on....As I put it, Honda tosses their customers bread crumbs with each model change. They want to keep YOU coming back and purchasing their products with each model change.
I like my Pioneer 700 BUT they could have done some little things to bump up the HP. Higher compression (Yamaha) longer stroke. Give customers the option of purchasing a OEM 'performance' ECU that will adjust the fuel curve and give the engine a little more grunt. Nope! Honda 700, 36HP, Yamaha 700, 47HP. Which would you choose?
@@ve3xtr youre righ on the money. I have a Honda Pilot because in a family vehicle i want reliability. Its exactly that and not much more, its loaded with all the options but its a minivan shaped like a truck...lol in a toy i want some thrill not just reliability bragging rights
Turbo TDI Love my ‘17 Kodiak 700. Still have my ‘00 Kodiak 400 as well. Yamaha and Honda quality are on the same par.
BUT I DO NOT CARE! I WILL BUY A FULLY LOADED 2020 SPYDER RT LIMITED ANYWAY!
Yamaha and Honda need to drop a v-twin atv already
@Grizzy BearKawasaki has been making a 750 twin for years!
It may seem insignificant, but the VASTLY improved factory front CV Boot protection is worth noting. Our 2016 long-term test unit suffered CV boot damage on multiple occasions due to the lack of protection. Aftermarket protection was a must! Honda finally addressed the issue on all 2020 models.
As always, super appreciate your honest unbiased reviews!
I am shopping for an ATV right now and want a CanAm xp 1000 but am concluding that at mid 50 years old and disabled that it isn’t a machine I will ever enjoy like I did when younger and healthier. This has led me to Honda because they now have irs, I just hope I am not disappointed by the low power output ( I know I will never be disappointed by their reliability!)
I like the open minded thinking in this review.
You don't buy a Honda for the wow factor that's for sure. They are however a great machine that have a place in the market, were lucky we have so many great machines to choose from. Cheers
Amen
I bought this from state 8 in ohio roughly 2 months ago it was the first one they got i absolutely love this bike i would highly recommend this bike!
We have a 2002 Rubicon 500, and its been absolutely hammered year after year after year, just still goes. You don't buy one of these for the cool looks or high HP, you get one of these that get work done on the property, and get around the trails.
People love them because of they are the highest quality not necessarily the highest performance but they will last 20+ years and they ride real smooth. It just feels like a good machine
The Rubicon is still a bad ass unit
Finally a ATV for the normal person - no SxS and no 1000cc spinning tires. Can be used in the bush, trails and every day use - still over priced
what do you mean finally? It’s basically the same Foreman they have made for 2 decades.
I own a 2016 Honda Rubicon deluxe and I love it , lacks too end speed then what’s out there today but it’s reliable and Honda tough ! I prefer mud than going 100km a hour anyways
Yamaha Kodiak/Grizzly 700.
I just bought one a few days ago, I had a 2011 Honda 420 Rancher Canadian Trail Edition but I wanted something more better. I can't wait to get it in a few days.
Right on!
Just got this bike yesterday. Awesome bike!
Right on!
Always appreciate your honest informative unbiased reviews!
Honda needs to bring back the Rincon and make it a 700 or 750, with the DCT and IRS. I would buy one.
I own a 2017 deluxe 500 I like it sure they aren’t fast Honda is still most reliable on the market
I’m one of those guys that just has to have the Honda reliability. But we use for it working way in the back country. Great machine.
Nothing like feeling confident that your machine will handle whatever you throw at it deep in the Boondocks! Thats why I ride Honda. Got stuck twice out in the middle of nowhere on a Polaris. I now have a Honda.
If this honda had similar power to sportsman 570 and the outlander 570 it would be awesome i like how it looks but im not really a reliability person i like power and fun !! Yet my 2018 sportsman has been a great atv ived put 400 hours in 1 year and 5000 plus miles and i have never had any mayor issues just the simple replacements 4 sets of tires a battery , fluids every 100 hours and 1 belt change at 327 hours thats pretty reliable to me
For the price its hard to beat the polaris or can am 570
Yes Honda is to expensive you can get a sportsman 850 for that
4 sets of tires in 5000 miles! Impressed ahah. Ride it like its stolen!
l mac hell yeah im on my 5th set already with 6700 miles !
We have a Cousin here in NB. Who put 47 000 km on a 2017 Rubicon. Only Brakes and Oil got changed ! No bearings, no belts, nothing. I won't lie. I want that reliability from other brands!! Not Marketing hype. Lets see a CAN AM or Polaris. Go 5000 km and not need some major parts!
I will be picking the rubi deluxe this week unless I change my mind and grab a 22 king quad 500 axi. My head hurts from comparing lol
The Good - The green paint job is sharp! The front bumper and aluminum wheels. Water tight storage space. DCT is good, but expensive.
The Bad - No standard winch at this price range is mind boggling. Styling from the rear is just okay but for safety purposes it should have more than a center brake light. Not nearly enough storage.
The Ugly - 30hp for a 520 cc engine in 2020 is ridiculous. Polaris Sportsman 500cc engines had more hp in the early 2000's. 45 mph speed limiter is down right Draconian.
Some people will be fine with the hp numbers, I have no problem with that at all. You can still have fun. But for me, like Luke, it wouldn't be enough. When you consider the hp numbers from the competition for the same price range, I could never justify buying it. Some situations simply call for more power.
BUT I DO NOT CARE! I WILL BUY A FULLY LOADED 2020 SPYDER RT LIMITED ANYWAY!
Agreed i need more than the honda name on the front.
@@democratsaretheDEVIL BUT I DO NOT CARE! I WILL BUY A FULLY LOADED 2020 SPYDER RT ANYWAY!
I saw one in my local shop and it looked amazing
Looks Badass...
Exhaust note reminds me of a ScoobyDoo cartoon sound effect !
I had road every honda at a local dealer because a yamaha dealer wouldnt even let me sit on new ones with $4000 in my pocket as a down payment. I road a rincon 1st...it sucked, I road a 20118 rubicon, it sucked even more, then lastly the guy said try the rancher, it was fun! i could get it to spin the tires and lift the front end at times. Im came of 60hp+ built atvs so it was hard to adjust. A week later i tried all the atvs again, even all the models within the models. the rubicon 500 (475 just didnt have the fun power) the rincon had some but i felt it was more of a 2wd machine. I bought my wife the highest level of rancher 420 irs, then we ripped it to the frame and built it up for her. If the 520 would of be around this might of been the model i chose...but hondas are just plain old utility atvs. once you get they thru you thick heads its ok. Only thing i hate to see is painted plastics.
old skool83 *rode* 🤦🏼
ATVs like this are meant for work, hunting, trail/woods riding. 30hp is plenty for that. Not everyone wants to go 65mph on such a small wheelbase machine. So to say the machine in underpowered is ridiculous.
Dear Dirt Trax , On certain nights , if the moon is right, down that dark muddy path you can hear 3 can-am's screamin , you can hear 1 old Honda laugh !! You just know that Charlie Daniels would still be riding in the "Wooley Swamp" on his Honda , if he was here !
If you really want high-performance I would recommend a dirtbike. A four wheeler is just for lugging around in the woods and enjoying the scenery. Not everybody wants to be full throttle all the time. That’s not fun to some of us
But it is to others, and not everyone wants a dirt bike.
I would love one of these, foot shift if they still make them, and a 35 to 50% gear reduction, all while keeping the stock tire height. It would be somewhat of a one trick pony, but would make an awesome slow, technical rock and creek crawler.
Great Honest review ! a lot of people put reliability and low cost of maintenance over the bikes life, over horse power and speed. and yes we all can get along haha people like to pick "teams" too much.
Maritimer love your videos man can’t wait till your next one comes out
I would love to see Honda's version of an all out atv like the scrambler or renegade, I'm sure it'd be the least powerful, but probably the most reliable and torquey. Here's hoping they eventually attempt it, and not fall on their face like they did with the nsx...
Great quad to plow a driveway, ill stick to my belt drives for having fun. Since when is changing a belt so hard? I get liking honda, but using belts as the excuse is sad. Plus if you ride any belt drive to match the performance of this honda you will never break a belt.
Never had an issue with a belt on an atv.
Im not a fan of belt drives for a number of reasons but the low power and speed of Honda's really forces you into a belt drive machine
Yamaha even has a 10 year guarantee on their belts now anyway... and even if you did have to replace one after 10 years , they build these things for easy access maintenance ( 20 minute job ) For the same money I’d buy the Kodiak 700 all day long , and if I’m going spend that much money I would just drop another 1k and get the Grizzly .... DONE ✅
i like cvt machines i own a sportsman 570. it’s a good machine but I personally like changing gears so i wish Polaris would make a geared Atv.for me that would be awesome but they don’t unfortunately so I’m gonna trade for a honda just for the gears.
This or the Rincon?
Honda reliability is out of this world.
Why can't Honda add power steering to the Rincon? I'd go buy one tomorrow if they did. I had a 2007 Rincon and I loved it. But at 50 years old I wanted power steering. So I sold it and bought a 2017 Rubicon with PS. I love everything but the absolute lack of power. I ended up selling it to a buddy of mine and bought a 2016 Brute Force 750 with PS. Loved the power, but the ride and ability to corner sucked. So I sold it. Please Honda put PS on the Rincon just the way it is!! Don't screw it up with a DCT or reverse button like on the newer Ranchers and Rubicons. The 680 is great the way it is.
I’ll take the reputable Honda reliability and durability over any stinking horsepower any day of the week . People live in a ridiculously extremist mindset these days . I used to have a Honda 250 Big Red that served my needs for better than 20 years ( my cousin still owns and rides the dam thing !)
This Rubicon will outlast my lifespan that’s for sure !
Honda has the Model T in the ATV world. Henry Ford wouldn’t change the model T (fords only vehicle at the time), 15-20 years no retooling. Black or green. Then Chevy, dodge came around with many options. Ford changed to the Model A, sexier Ford version. The Model A was really Axel Fords show. However Henry took credit. Looks like history repeats, different players.
I have a 2007 honda Rubicon 500 with 21,000 km's on it motor and transmission never been touched
That's awesome! Thanks for sharing from your experience!!
Honda Powersports dealership Ridenow doesn’t have any honda atv models i like in stock.
And?
The first generation had 499cc which I have a 01 with over 5000 miles & will never part with it because I like that engine braking & still have original rear brake drum but I had to replace front brakes because one side got salt in it that rusted it up.
I wished there was a video to show how the engine braking actually works on the new ones. Mine I can give it gas then let go & my body momentum what’s to keep going forward. Going down steep hills I put it in low 1st or put it in low automatic but I have to give it a little gas to kick it in. I wish there was a video to compare old 500 Hondamatic to new 520 DCT to compare engine braking & all that. I would like a new one for trail riding & keep the old one for plowing. Never will I put a plow on a newer machine because of salt on roads.
Review it again at 5000 miles same with the Polaris and Can Am
I have my 2018 sportsman 570 with 4900 miles ill be happy for them to review it next to a honda 500 once it hits over 5000 miles
To be honest ived replaced 1 battery at 220 hours the belt at 320 hours and 4 sets of tires now i have 360 hours 4900 miles
Yes i am lol im in a polaris page on facebook and they keep complaining about their machines and i give my 570 hell
Trust me ived seen them too
I do not reccomend buying a Honda ATV, there are much better options. But if you insist on living in the 80s and drinking Honda cool aid. Then get the foot shift, strait axle machine. I've ridden both and the foot shift is still reliable. The DCT can leave you stranded. And the strait axle gives a sportier feel and is lighter and simpler. The IRS rides better but it's still far behind the competition. You"ll also save a good bit of $ on those two features. The only problem with this is that I don't think you can get power steering and no IRS or DCT. I may be wrong on that though. Just haven't personally seen it. But I still think that your better off with a CF Moto if you want a 500 with power steering. Way cheaper and in my experience just as reliable and more standard features.
still using a rear drum brake that is nearly impossible to keep the water out of? I got really tired of replacing rear axle bearings because that brake would never seal
Both of my twin son got 2004 and 2005 Rancher 420 so far no water in all drums!!! I’ve check it right away when I got home because I was with them out riding and watch them go under muddy water!!! I was shocked still dry!!! Only water got in one of my son engine and changed oil right away and it’s fine now!!!
For 20 years I had to drain and clean drums on my wife 1997 Recon 250 since bought brand new that’s why I had to check on Ranchers but completely dry holy shits!!!
im look to buy one are they any good with differnt one
If the 520 Honda is not what you would buy what would you buy for a personal quad?.
Huh?
I have a 2002 Honda rubicon that has over 3000 miles
Electronic shifts are junk up here in the arctic
That's one thing Honda ATV 's are known for. The machine HAS to warm up before it will shift, even foot shifters. I accepted that flaw but it became a pain in the ass after a while.
That’s good to know. Debating different quads for Yellowknife. Thanks!
@@jasond1245 drove my belt over 10,000 miles on my 16 kodiak 708 at 18,000 miles
I was hoping you’d at least try to drift it around a nice corner lol. I’m sure it can be done.
What's better foot shift or auto
What isn't emphasized enough in this review or any I've seed. Honda's ATV's are WAYYYY more reliable and require WAYYY less maintenance then pretty much anything else, especially the big bores. Having Canams, polaris Etc my whole life this deference in these key departments cannot be overstated. You give up performance certainly. But the difference in reliability and regular maintenance is night and day. Then, even when you perform that maintenance the Honda is so much better thought out, designed and overall easier to work on. Its not even close. You can nearly anything with 3 or 4 sockets sizes. Most regular maintenance is like 1 or 2 sizes. Compared to Canam or Pol its almost silly how bad they are thought out. I love my Canam, and continue to respect it for what it is. I also have national pride by it being Canadian. But Honda is on a whole other level. If you want to have a machine that always works. Buy a Honda.
You lucky devils in the U.S.A who get a range of colors on your Honda ATV's, here in Australia it's red, red and yes you guessed it... red...and plus We pay way more $$ than you do for the red version.
I have no idea why Honda don’t put LED headlights on the Rubicon like Polaris does on there high end sportsman’s spending that much $$$ on a rubicon it should have better options like LED’s
While its buffering I’ll just let everyone know i picked a 520 Deluxe up today:)
What do they msrp
that was your opinion mixed with some stats on the bike not really a review ...
Isn't that like...the definition of a review? a blend of statistics and opinions?
@@sambaxter1281 LOL in a sense i guess , better words would have been the review was lacking in information it could have been filled out a bit more
Still more reliable than a can ham
You forgot to mention that all of the controls are in the correct place, unlike Polaris and Canam. What idiot thought of putting the brake lever on the left handle bar? Why not follow the motorcycle convention like the Japanese?
My stock 17 rancher is better man Manual is the way to go son
Reliability is more important than h p and the rubicon is the most beautiful at v I have ever seem
Ya gotta be kidding putting 30hp on an atv, really?
Tell me about it. My yard is only an acre. I'd have no grass left with that much.
some of them have 90hp
My 03 Yamaha Kodiak 400 4x4 i used to have only had 26 hp so that’s sounds about right. Long as the machines can tow and get up to 50mph that good enough.
No belt, no power, no ground clearance, no shock absorption, no reliability issues, that's no fun...
Say what you want I'll stick to my Arctic Cat and my wife said she'll stick to a Polaris never have any problems

Overpriced, underpowered and under suspended. If your considering a Rubicon do yourself a faror and just get a CF moto 500. Same reliability and quality, same features plus more and about $5000 less. No wonder honda is loosing market share so fast. C'mon honda put some effort in. We know your capable of making a great machine (Talon for example) throw the Talon engine in an ATV with 10-12" of suspension. I was a honda fan my hole life but they have been standing still with ATVs for about 20 years.
3.27.21
I always laugh about peoples comments on Domestic brands reliability, I have a 2013 can am 650, that I built into a 71 hp to the tire machine, and the only failure I've had was a u-joint that I never greased for 2000miles lol, it now has another 1500 miles on it since I built it that's the only belt I have put in since I owned it.
The 650 might be their most reliable machine. I'm looking at getting one.
To much money for to little quad.
Who needs horsepower when you have decent torque from a Honda
A 2020 atv with 520 cc and only 30 horsepower?! Laughable!
Under powered no suspension over priced junk... you listening HONDA...
Under powered? Maybe, no suspension? Compared to something outside its class? Sure, but junk? Nah, I've driven by SO MANY broken polaris' and canam's on the 500 deluxe on the same trails, and pulled half of them home after, lol. Hell, I even did the same on my old, bagged 400 from the 90's. I mean, if you wanna blow 20,000 every summer on your fancy, overpowered toys be my guest, but I don't wanna hear you whining when I pull you back home lol.
@@Drake5153 they can't make a engine to hold up so they keep building under powered junk. Come on it took Honda forever to put a locker on there 3 wheel drives. I have a 2010 and 2012 550 XP Polaris and zero problems. Yamaha man myself. My 1995 Kodiak 400 has the same power as the 475 2019 model Rubicon. Putt Putt machine. If you take care of your machines change fluids when deemed keep them cleaned you don't break down. But the argument is that HONDA is way overpriced for what you get, way under powered for the class it's in and crap suspension
Totally agree. Underpowered, overpriced, and crap ride and suspension. I dont give a rip about classes, you can get an 850 for the same price as this 520. And I absolutely don't see any difference in reliability anymore. A belt is a better solution and last just fine if your not an idiot and maintain your machine. Its no mystery why honda is loosing losing market share so quickly. You listening honda? Put some effort in. We need the Talon engine in an ATV with minimum 10" of suspension.
@@rickvann3489 yes, and no. Of course they can make a good engine lol, their's plenty of them out there from cars, to bikes, quads, equipment. I think your confusing good with POWERFUL. Yes, it's taken them a bit to include options that others have, BUT I've never experienced problems with said options the way I have with EVERY OTHER QUAD. Yes, other quads CAN be reliable, BUT, theres a reason you see Honda's AROUND THE WORLD and not other brands, specifically in countries that have less than me and you, where reliability TRULY counts. I have YET to see ANY OTHER BRAND be able to be COMPLETELY swamped, then fire back up after emptying the water in 10 minutes, something belt drives and v-twins can't do. And I've never had a problem with the suspension lol it's made to suit the quad, it's not a sport quad, and you have to ride it as such. BUT, I will agree that its overpriced for what it is, yet they still sell and most mature people happy. Hell, I don't know that many people that have been hurt on Honda's, but I know of people that have been SERIOUSLY HURT, if not KILLED on polaris, canam, and yamaha... not that their really to blame, but theres a reason lol.
@@rickvann3489 not gonna lie, I've ridden most of the brands with exception to kawasaki, and they all have their strong points, their all good quads, but it's hard to knock how sturdy a honda is.
What a boat tops speed is 42mph hahahahaha
so tf what at least its safer and more reliable asf
I love all atv s but I took one of these for a ride this weekend it was the worst driving atv ever I road ATVs in the 90s that road better then a 520, Honda omg and no power at all I meen like really really under powered come on honda wow you guys can do better then this like my brother and myself could not believe it hardly like no power at all the ride was so bad the guy that bought it is so so disappointed he is going to sell it right away . the owner drove a can am Yamaha and one Polaris over the weekend and he could not believe the difference he is so upset that he bought a Honda oh ya he said he paid over 13000 dollars with tax way way way more then any other quad in its class so if anyone is looking for a good quad please don't buy one of these they really are a crappy atv
I don't think they're necessarily crappy ATVs, but definitely some shortcomings compared to what's on the market. Under-powered, really soft suspension and DCT is not in the same class as a CVT.
That's a huge run on sentence. Maybe try some commas, and periods next time :)
My 09 kingquad STILL has 10 more hp then this.
Must be the 450 the 750 has 20 more. Love my 750 and would never down grade to auto trans and less power.
Honda is a joke maybe 20 years ago they had something but today the biggest joke in the atv business
What are you really thinking when a friend or colleague says " let me be honest with you" ?
Well I'll let you know what I'm thinking & it's oh okay so you normally lie to me and your making a special occasion to tell me the truth? And how is it that I've kept you from telling me the truth in the first place?

Hondas are great and will outlive anything else out there
Some people are always looking for more hp when the atv does anything you want it to. 🤦
The one thing I don’t like on my 2018 Rubicon is the reverse change. Glad they addressed that.
Updated headlight pod? They've had the same 3rd headlight pod since 2015. Just another lackluster review by this channel.
I love Honda but they have to stop making products to keep the eco-zealots in California happy. So many of their good products are getting ruined.
I love my 2021 Honda Rubicon deluxe great machine
If anyone has ever pushed snow with ATVs, the Honda foreman with straight axle will out push any atv. I’ve had big bore ATVs and plowed with them all. Foreman best for work
I have a 2017 Honda Foreman ES with power steering (straight axel). I plow snow with it here in Michigan. I've never had a snowfall that the Foreman can't handle. I've idled while plowing 4" of snow. The things a beast!
Could y’all do a more in depth review?
the 2020 rubicon is a nice quad lets see how it plows snow!!!.....vs polaris 570 sportsman and even against sportsman570 6x6
Yo I bought one that has a dark neon green
