2011 Honda FourTrax Rancher 4X4 TRX420FM
Lightweight and nimble. Simple to operate and just the right size. Ready for chores around the farm or cottage or frisky trail riding. The Honda TRX420FM continues to make friends among ATV enthusiasts thanks to its appealing blend of premium features and do-anything performance. A liquid-cooled 420 cc engine that’s fuel-injected for consistently strong power in all conditions provides the TRX420 with its get-up-and-go — the engine sits longitudinally in the frame to keep weight low and to improve overall centre of gravity and balance, allowing you to ride over rough terrain with added confidence. You also get an easy-to-use 2WD/4WD shifter, front disc brakes with long-life pads and a special scraper system to prevent damage, and the option of NaturalGear™ camo bodywork. It’s a combination that’s awfully hard to beat.
