2005 Honda FourTrax® Foreman® Rubicon® 4x4 DCT

Deluxe Model

• The available Deluxe models offer cast aluminum wheels with polished highlights, red painted suspension components, and decals. The wheels look sharp, and shave more than seven pounds of unsprung weight.

Digital Display with Maintenance Minder

• New digital meter display includes a Maintenance Minder system that signals when it is time for service.

Emissions

• Meets current California Air Resources Board (CARB) off-road emissions standards.

Inboard Rear Disc Brake

• Tucked up inboard and out of harm’s way, the Rubicon’s new inboard disc brake reduces unsprung weight and offers improved ground clearance.

Increased ACG Output

• Thanks to a new neodymium magnet stator design, the new, more powerful ACG produces more electricity, so you can run more Honda Genuine Accessories.

Increased Rack Capacity

• The Rubicon gets re-engineered steel racks for 2015: Front Rack capacity is now a full 99 pounds, and the rear rack can hold up to a whopping 187 pounds. Multiple tie-down points also make it easier than ever to secure your loads.

Increased Towing Capacity

• Got a tough job to tackle? No problem—the Rubicon is up to the task. With a towing capacity that’s been boosted to over 1300 pounds, the new Rubicon can really pull a load.

Independent Rear Suspension

• The Rubicon’s Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) returns two big benefits: First, it helps ensure constant tire contact with the ground for superior traction, and second, it gives you an ultra-smooth ride over rough terrain, so you don’t get beat up on the trail.

More Comfortable Seat

• For all-day ride comfort there ia a new seat profile, new seat foam and a new “gripper” texture seat cover that add up to give the new 2015 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon one of the best seats we’ve ever engineered for an ATV.

New Dual Range Drive/Low Shifter

• Like a full-sized four-wheel-drive truck, Rubicon DCT models feature a drive/low range in its gearbox, so you can choose the perfect gear for crawling over technical terrain, pulling heavy loads, or cruising on smoother trails.

New Lantern Style 50W Assist Light

• The Rubicon features three headlights, two mounted on the front fenders and one on the handlebar. The 50-watt handlebar light moves with the bar to illuminate the area you choose. All three use multi-reflector lenses for superior light distribution.

New Maxxis Tires

• Designed to work perfectly with the Rubicon’s new Independent Rear Suspension, the Maxxis tires feature an aggressive tread pattern for excellent traction in mud, sand, and rocky terrain.

New Reverse/Parking Brake Lever

• Mounted up on the left handlebar along with the parking brake, the Rubicon’s new reverse lever is tough, simple, and easier to use.

New Styling

• The all-new bodywork gives it a tough look. But it does more than just look good: it's designed to last, despite the scrapes and dings of the job or the woods, and to help protect you from mud and other debris. An all-steel full-coverage front bumper with integrated mounts for an accessory winch.

Transmission Choices: Automatic DCT or Manual

• Strong internals, fast shifts, excellent control, true compression-braking capability in steep terrain, and an automatic program that upshifts and downshifts while you concentrate on riding—the Honda automatic dual-clutch transmission has it all, including a Drive/Low subtransmssion. We also offer a standard, smooth-shifting manual transmission—a Honda exclusive in an IRS machine.

TraxLok®

• Honda TraxLok® 2WD/4WD system offers 2WD, 4WD, and 4WD mode with locking front differential to optimize traction. TraxLok system incorporates a Speed Override mode that can be engaged when the front differential is locked, which allows increased wheel speed under severe conditions such as deep mud.
