2013 Honda FourTrax Recon TRX250TM
The best ATV value out there…
These days, you have to look hard at every dollar you spend. But there’s a difference between being just being cheap and smart with your money. And smart riders know that when it comes to value, Honda’s Recon is a great investment. Sure, it has an attractive price. But it also offers something nobody else can: Honda quality. And it still has plenty of features too: Its compact size and footprint let it tackle tight trails larger ATVs might find impassable. You get rugged, reliable 2WD performance second to none. And we even have two models to choose from: Our standard Recon comes with a conventional foot-shift ATV transmission, while the Recon ES features our Electric Shift Program (ESP) technology that lets you shift using two convenient handlebar-mounted buttons.
•229cc air-cooled OHV longitudinally mounted single-cylinder four-stroke engine
•Smaller engine and a more compact footprint
Since the inception of this classy mid-sized ATV, thousands upon thousands of riders have made the Honda FourTrax® Recon® a best seller, and that’s just the way it should be. A remarkably torquey 229cc OHV engine pumps out delightful levels of performance, while its middleweight size enhances its agile handling traits. With the option of a manual gearbox or Honda’s pushbutton Electric Shift Program (ESP®) the FourTrax Recon continues to deliver just-right performance that gets the job done seven days a week.

2013 Honda FourTrax Recon TRX250TM Features and Benefits
Electric Shift Program (ESP) – Flicking between gears should always be this easy. With Honda’s available unique ESP system (ES models only), up- and downshifting is as simple and fast as pushing one of two handlebar-mounted buttons. ESP is also a bonus when riding in heavy or mud/snow-covered boots.
Semi-dry-sump Engine Design – Compact and lighter-weight, the Recon’s semi-dry sump and overhead valve designs create an engine that’s not only shorter from top to bottom, but one that enhances handling by lowering the center of gravity while increasing ground clearance as well.
Shaft Final Drive
Uniquely Designed Floorboards – Both the Recon and Recon ES have uniquely designed floorboards, which allow the rider’s feet to grip the footrests while keeping away mud and debris.
Steel Cargo Racks – Front and rear steel cargo racks allow payloads of 33 and 66 pounds, respectively.
LED Taillight and Brakelight – LED taillight and brakelight for durable, long-lasting lighting.
