Engine & Drivetrain
Maximum Efficiency
The rugged OHV liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 420 cc longitudinally mounted engine allows direct driveshaft alignment to both front and rear wheels for maximum drivetrain efficiency.
Broad Powerband
Overhead-valve design provides compact engine dimensions for improved ground clearance while maintaining a broad, easy-to-use powerband.
Reduced Vibration
Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counter-balancer reduce vibration.
Easy Start, Fuel Efficient
Convenient electric starting, with an automatic internal-decompression system, gets you going quickly. Also equipped with a recoil starter as back-up. The recoil will start the ATV even with a completely dead battery. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system improves power delivery and throttle response, and increases fuel efficiency for extended range.
Tough Transmission
Rugged five-speed transmission with foot shifter and automatic clutch lets you precisely choose the gear you need. Super-heavy duty automatic clutch with low-rpm engagement provides excellent drivability and towing capacity.
Convenient Selector
Handy 4WD/2WD selector lever, mounted on the left-front panel, allows you to engage 4WD when needed for the tough stuff and 2WD when conditions allow.
Quiet Operation
Stainless-steel exhaust system includes a USDA-qualified spark arrester/muffler designed for quiet operation and long-lasting performance.
Chassis & Suspension
Double-Cradle Steel Frame
Double-cradle steel frame developed with Computer Aided Engineering features increased stiffness for even more precise handling and a smoother ride.
Adjustable Suspension
Adjustable spring preload featured on all shocks allows suspension tuning to match varying loads and riding conditions.
Precise Handling
Tough, 24-inch diameter front and rear tires provide excellent ground clearance of 183 mm (7.2 in.) while maintaining great handling characteristics. Front and rear suspension feature 170 mm (6.7 in.) of travel at both ends for a plush and controlled ride.
Trail Ready
Enclosed-axle type swingarm optimizes stiffness for improved toughness and durability, and excellent handling performance. Rubber swingarm pivot bushings provide increased low-speed ride comfort and extra durability.
Durable Design
Plastic CV joint boots are durable and tear-resistant with sealed steering-knuckle bearings for extended durability. Steering-mechanism design allows a tight turning radius for excellent manoeuvrability.
Stopping Power
Large 190 mm dual front hydraulic disc brakes provide strong, consistent stopping power. Rear drum brake is located inside the right rear wheel for improved durability and increased ground clearance.
