The 2025 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4x4 is designed for durability, functionality, and efficient performance. Honda has engineered this ATV with features that support both work-related applications and off-road recreation. Three trim levels are available: EPS, DCT EPS, and DCT EPS Deluxe. Each model features an independent rear suspension system and an engine that provides consistent power and reliability.
Engine Performance and Design
The engine is a 518cc longitudinally mounted liquid-cooled single-cylinder four-stroke. This design allows for direct driveshaft alignment, reducing power loss and improving drivetrain efficiency. The bore and stroke measure 96.0 mm x 71.5 mm, contributing to the engine's ability to generate strong low-end torque. The Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system with a 36mm throttle body ensures consistent fuel delivery, optimizing combustion efficiency and performance in varying conditions. The 9.5:1 compression ratio balances power output and fuel economy. The electric starter system provides immediate ignition, with an optional auxiliary recoil starter available for backup.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The transmission system differs based on the model selected. The manual transmission model features a five-speed gearbox with reverse, providing direct control over gear selection. The automatic transmission models utilize a five-speed dual-clutch transmission (DCT) with reverse and a Low/Drive subtransmission. The direct front and rear driveshaft system with TraxLok® and a front differential lock enables riders to switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive based on terrain requirements.
Suspension and Handling
The independent rear suspension (IRS) system enhances stability and ride comfort by maintaining tire contact with the ground over uneven surfaces. The independent double-wishbone front suspension offers 7.3 inches of travel, while the independent double-wishbone rear suspension provides 8.5 inches of travel. The electric power steering (EPS) system, available on all models, assists with handling by adjusting steering input based on speed and rider effort.
Braking System
The braking system consists of dual 190mm disc brakes in the front and a single 170mm disc brake in the rear.
Frame and Dimensions
The chassis is built with a rugged steel frame, engineered for strength and durability. The overall length measures 86.0 inches, the width is 47.4 inches, and the height is 48.7 inches. The wheelbase spans 50.9 inches, which contributes to stability at higher speeds and over uneven terrain. The seat height is 36.3 inches, allowing for a comfortable riding position. The ground clearance measures 9.7 inches, improving the ability to traverse obstacles without undercarriage interference. The turning radius of 11.5 feet provides maneuverability in tight spaces.
Cargo and Towing Capacity
The front rack supports up to 99 pounds, while the rear rack has a maximum capacity of 187 pounds. The towing capacity is rated at 1322 pounds, allowing for the transport of trailers and heavy loads. The Honda Pro-Connect™ system facilitates the attachment and removal of compatible cargo accessories.
Fuel System and Efficiency
The fuel tank capacity is 3.9 gallons, including a 1.3-gallon reserve. The fuel injection system optimizes combustion, improving fuel efficiency and engine response. The engine management system adjusts air-fuel ratios dynamically, compensating for changes in altitude and temperature.
Reverse Gear System
The Electric Reverse system, available on the Automatic DCT models, simplifies operation when frequent directional changes are required. A single-lever control engages reverse gear efficiently, reducing rider effort.
Wheel and Tire Specifications
The front tires are 25 x 8-12, and the rear tires are 25 x 10-12. The tread pattern is designed for all-terrain performance, providing traction on loose, muddy, and rocky surfaces. The aluminum wheels, available on the DCT EPS Deluxe model, reduce unsprung weight and improve overall handling.
Color Options
The available color options include Black Forest Green, Matte Gray Metallic, TrueTimber® Atera Camo, and Hero Red. The TrueTimber® Atera Camo option is exclusive to the 2025 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4x4 DCT EPS model. The DCT EPS Deluxe model features a painted bodywork finish and color-matched suspension components.
Weight and Durability
The curb weight varies depending on the selected model. The EPS has a curb weight of 697 pounds, while the DCT EPS weighs 719 pounds. The DCT EPS Deluxe is 725 pounds. These weights include all standard equipment, required fluids, and a full tank of fuel.
