2017 Honda FourTrax Recon ES, Forget About Bigger. How About Better?There s an old saying: It s not the size of the dog in the fight; it s the size of the fight in the dog. And that s certainly true when it comes to the world of all-terrain vehicles. Bigger isn t always better like on a tight trail, when it s time to load and unload, or when it s time to open up your wallet.Thank goodness for the Honda Recon an ATV that gets it. The Recon is a powerful, versatile, rugged ATV, but one that also offers a smaller overall footprint. Its compact size helps you maneuver through tighter trails that would stop some larger ATVs. But the Recon is a powerhouse of an athlete in the welterweight class. Its specially designed 250-class engine is engineered for plenty of low-rpm torque and power, where the real work gets done. It s two-wheel-drive layout features Honda s famous longitudinal engine design for more efficient power transfer. And the Recon is even available in two different models: one features our conventional foot-shift ATV transmission, while the Recon ES offers Honda s Electric Shift Program (ESP), which lets you upshift and downshift using two handlebar-mounted buttons.The Recon.

Shaft drive is the perfect choice for a machine like this, and for riders who pile on the miles. You never have to worry about lubrication or adjustment out on the trail. And an added plus: it helps keep your ATV cleaner, too.LONGITUDINAL ENGINE LAYOUT: By orienting the crankshaft front to back in the chassis in our ATV and side-by-side engines, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.UNIQUELY DESIGNED FLOORBOARDS: Both the Recon and Recon ES have uniquely designed floorboards, which allow the rider s feet t
