Honda ATV for four-wheeled work

With a host of upgrades, the TRX500FM and variants, TRX500FPM and TRX500FPE are due in Honda dealerships this month.

Designed to lighten the hardest days work, these four-wheeled machines combine a new engine, a re-engineered chassis and upgraded styling in one easy to handle package.

These new ATV models come with the Honda guarantee of the highest quality, durability and reliability.

The liquid-cooled, 475cc single-cylinder, OHV four-stroke engine has a high compression ratio and six per cent more torque to  deliver plenty of hard-working power.

Also new is the fuel injection system which features a 36mm throttle body and provides instant throttle response, consistent performance at high altitude, hassle-free cold-weather starting and increased fuel efficiency .

The rear suspension system combines a steel swingarm design with a single high-quality shock absorber to produce supple, well-controlled travel. And braking power to match is ensured with larger 196mm dual front hydraulic disc brakes.

Although designed for hard work, styling is important and the new TRXs feature new body styling with a tough, rugged look, featuring large oversized fenders front and rear for mud and splash protection.

A multi-function LCD digital meter is compact, tough and waterproof, and features large readouts for fuel gauge, gear position, speedometer, odometer, tripmeter, hourmeter and oil change reminder.

The TRX500FPM and FPE have the added benefit of Honda's revolutionary Electric Power Steering (EPS) which guarantees easier, more responsive handling while the TRX500FPE also has optional Electric Gear Shift (ESP).

All three variations of this new 500cc class ATV sport TraxLox system allowing the ATV to switch between 4WD and 2WD mechanically to make tackling difficult terrain simpler.
