Leaving nothing to chance
Big loads, long days – no problem.
Some days you feel like it’s all uphill. Lucky you’ve got the Foreman working for you. The low-down torque from the liquid cooled engine lets you tackle the really rough terrain, as well as those big towing jobs. Experience has taught you well and you know one thing above all else – you can rely on a Foreman.
Get up close
The Foreman is built with all the quality, reliability and advanced features expected of a Honda ATV.
High power vision
Ready for whatever you’re doing, the Foreman’s triple headlight system uses a single 45-watt upper bulb and dual 30-watt lower bulbs with multi-reflector lenses for optimal light distribution, plus an LED brake light/taillight for improved visibility.
Switchable 2/4wd for go-anywhere traction
TraxLok® lets you easily select 2wd or 4wd. 2wd gives lighter steering on flat ground while 4wd maximizes traction when you need it. The Electric Shift Program (ESP) allows the rider to shift gear at the touch of a button. A handlebar-mounted control switches the transmission between ESP and automatic operation and a column-style shift lever lets you easily select Drive, Neutral or Reverse.
Fuel injection
The Keihin fuel injection system – with 36mm throttle body – provides instant and crisp throttle response, consistent performance at altitude and hassle-free cold-weather starting. (Fuel injection available on the FM, FPM and FE models)
Wide gear ratios
The working day can bring many challenges. Five forward gears, including an ultra-low first – plus reverse – mean you’ve got plenty of pulling power. An automatic clutch with low engagement point gives fast, easy shifts and excellent towing ability; true engine braking also helps maintain control. (Switchable hi-low ratio transmission fitted to FA/FPA model)
Long travel suspension
Independent double-wishbone front suspension with 170mm (6.7”) travel soaks up anything in the Foreman’s way, aiding rider comfort and always keeping steering precise.
LCD rider display
Provides the rider with trip, speed, fuel and drive selection information at a glance.
The Honda difference
Total efficiency for every job.
The engine is longitudinally-mounted. With the crankshaft in line with the frame you get direct driveshaft alignment to the wheels, improved drivetrain efficiency and a low centre of gravity. And it’s a major contributor to great stability, handling and balance, all features you expect from a Honda ATV.
Longitudinally-mounted engine

Safety first
It's always Safety First when we build our ATVs. We hope it's the same when you ride them.
Since our customers aren’t as indestructible as our machines, here are some basic pointers on ATV safety.
Always wear a helmet, gloves and boots as a bare minimum and other protective gear as required. Never ride under the influence of alcohol or other drugs; and never carry a passenger unless your machine has been specifically designed to do so.
Please bear these things in mind – then you can be sure the ATV that’s making your life easier will carry on doing just that.
