Meet the 2020 Honda Foreman Rubicon ATV: Explore the Clever New Features! 

I still have a Rincon so I feel what your saying cause it's the Honda utility quad I prefer too and absolutely love it.

HSM?

Ok.

Most reliable ATV made is Honda

they machine the skid plates? That sounds rather expensive.

Good to know, thanks!

Q’s in the house!

Thought I'd find you here. 👍

@@ElevationATV Lol - u guys know me way too well

@@quaddingsous haha, we know you JUST enough. Although, I've watched enough of your videos that I feel like I'm actually there laughing with you guys haha. My wife laughs at me when I bring the handlebars to bed.

I'll keep my 700 Diesel Arctic Cat thanks....

Yep. I will never buy a polaris again. Junk

Dev4stating x Yamaha grizzly is an awesome machine

Polaris is where it’s at

@@ATVtherapy ya if you're poor

Will B definitely, wonder what the paint code is

520cc .......!!!!!!!!!!

I say that almost every day.

OFFRD how bout orange?

Rich Savage only

Rich Savage but Honda’s have always been overpriced pieces of shit

​@@noahranker4133Poll a group of intelligent people and you'll find their ranked as the most dependable (over priced too) products ever made. Thats not opinion, look it up.

@@noahranker4133 what would be better, for the money?

@@dustindarkcyde9482 nothing, I don’t know a single honest ATV guy that disagree that Honda has been and is the most reliable. Reality is they are just now making a more trail riding type machine vrs work type.

I love my 2018 Dct. The improvements are great but not enough for me to upgrade.

@@robertcastleberry5108 Yeah, I wouldn't upgrade your 2018 that soon if I were you either.

Yep. Would be nice if honda would work on improving the rincon to keep up with their competitors. I've always had a honda but if I were to go buy a new bike today it would be the Yamaha grizzly 700.

I have been itching to get a Sportsman 570, almost pulled the plug, but after my buddy's Polaris left him stranded 20 miles out in some rough country, I've decided to go with Honda. My buddy's Polaris hit the two year mark and just started giving him fits all over! He is wanting to sell his and get something different.

@@justinhyatt6654 I'm looking at the Kodiak myself. I considered a Can Am Outlander 570 but their reliability is troubling. Polaris isn't even a possibility because of their recent history. It's a shame when you have to shell out eight or nine grand for a machine that you can't depend on.

Thanks for the shopping tips. I was looking at a Polaris as well as this machine... I'll re consider that polaris... What's their recent history, pretty poor, it sounds like...

@@Ironfurnaceroom Go online and search"Polaris problems". So many issues. Can Am too. Honda and Yamaha have the least amount of complaints from what I've read over the last year.

Foot petal shift is difficult when you have big boots on or in deep water.I have electric shift and love it!

How's the Kodiak holding up? Looking between Honda and Yamaha and just can't decide. Thank you.

@@foothillskid5535 definitely go with the Yamaha. It's a much more refined machine. Honda is a good reliable machine but lacks in some ways compared to Yamaha. Yes, Honda has no belts. But Yamaha has the best belt driven system in the industry. Test drive both and then decide. All I can say is when I drove the Kodiak after owning the Honda, the Kodiak was so much smoother and offered a nicer ride. Honda always seems to offer the bare minimum on their products and relies mostly on sales based on their brand name. I worked for Honda for over 10 years and saw the cost cutting first hand. Good luck with your decision.

jonny5662 seems to be in the heavy side for a bike

McArthur Motors are the polaris and can am the high trims or the base?

Fernando Salgado a sportsman with powersteering front rear rack/ warn winch/ plow/ hand/thumb heaters/ and rear storage box was $9200 out the door for me taxes in. I looked at Yamaha and Honda... both better all around machines for me but prices at around 11600 without plow .. plus the 1600 in taxes. Over a $4000 difference! That could be used for extended warranty and a nice trailer!

It will make up the price difference when your constantly replacing broken parts.

Yes But have Wayy More Torque"

Yes

Yet here you were.

Me too. Sad to see the new grizzlys doing the same

You may not like the look, but it sure is nice when you need to use it.

...simply turn the handlebars to the left...and fill'r up. Polaris XP models have had that since about 2009. Really, not that big an issue.

I prefer it on my Rancher. No more accidental overfill running down the seat.

rrrReLiabiLitys...?

Why are you yelling?

Copy of the handle bar mounted headlamp for sure. Too bad honda doesn't copy the instrumentation, polaris has been ahead on that for years.

@@scottfurlong5475 I've wanted a handle bar mounted headlamp on the Honda's for a while. I would like a USB port and more storage as well. But, not going to give up my Honda's reliability for a light, USB, and some storage.

@@blackmesaoutdoors4863 My 2007 honda foreman has the handle bar mounted headlight. Also has 12V cigarette lighter socket by handlebars where you could plug in a usb charger. I have a 2015 Rancher which has the spot to put a 12V socket and under the radiator cover is a free harness with key on power so I just installed one tonight. I think if I upgrade to led headlamps I won't miss the lack of a handlebar mounted light on the Rancher. My front rack has a dual Rotopax mount and they have a small storage box that works with that system if you are trying to add storage without using the rear rack.

spyder000069 I’ll look in to that option for the USB on my Rancher. Should be the same. 🤞🏻Thanks!

@@blackmesaoutdoors4863 You can get the 12V cigarette outlets off amazon for around $10 and they have a waterproof cap. I used a large stepped bit to drill the plastic on the front of the quad under the handle bars. You could use a standard drill and open it up with a dremel tool if don't have access to stepped bits. The accessory harness on the Rancher under the front radiator lid had four wires. You use the green (ground) and white (positive) to wire your outlet or headlamp. They are the larger wires on the connector. I believe honda makes a harness that plugs into that connector for easier wiring but I didn't have it so I just cut the wires from the connector and wired directly to them. I was installing a winch which also needs keyed power to the handle bar switch so that got spliced in with my outlet. The outlets are handy to have because you can run the small emergency car air compressors from them to fill your tires as well as other 12v accessories like the chargers. Beware there is a version of the 12V marine outlet on amazon that the reviews say accessories like to pop out of.

Nope'

Rather have Honda

Extra displacement always makes the difference.

It should have a locking front dif the 2019 foreman 500s do I know that for a fact

It’s got a locking differential- did you watch the video?

Sean Pizzo ya must have got a defective one.. know lots of guy with them mud them regularly never had s shift motor problems...

Thankfully Honda still provides the 5-speed manual. Think that is a dying breed unfortunately.

@@y2kxj My 2002 Honda Foreman was completely underwater for about a day and a half trapped under a log jam ( my brother barrowed it ) and the electric shift has never had trouble .

Hum? Like cvt😢😢Junk.

I believe it is less than 30 hp

No it is Exactly 30hp but with Major Torque.

You can. Finance it.

Not Sure would Finance This UnLess Had Like; $5-k. 4, a Down Payment

Im pretty sure either one could be argued as "better" once you define what you are looking for. Better on the wallet? Better in mud? Plowing snow? Better service intervals? Better resale? Better for hunting? The equipment these manufacturers are putting out these days are all pretty solid. They are all going to have pros and cons. All depends what you are looking for.

This has Way Better Reliability an Better Torque.

Yes

How come?

Needs a Twin, with 4V.

The rincon is still only a 38hp machine... is that better than the 30hp of this 520? Of course! But it's still dramatically lacking compared to others of the same class. Rincon is a 680 at 38hp, Can Am 650 is 62hp... Can Am 450 is the equivalent of the Honda 680. The Rincon has gone for years with no meaningful updates. This Rubicon is a much nicer ATV in my honest opinion.

wlabishler 1 in my opinion the cam am is a piece of shit... and 9500 for a rubicon is to much money....the rims.... and all the other nonsence just add to the profits of the dealer... its all about $... just like buyin a car...its a financial game ... anyone with common sence to look close ....and theres people on youtube thst do....more options = higher profits.... just my opinion..

The rims are useless? You mean they don’t have a use, or they don’t work?

@@Icutmetal think about it.... youll figure it out

@@mikeatv Sarcasm. Think about it…you might figure it out.
