Built to work with Electric Power Steering.
For 2012, the FourTrax? Foreman? line of 4x4 ATVs boasts a brand-new engine plus a re-engineered chassis featuring a new single-shock rear-suspension system-upgrades that make this brawny ranch hand tougher than ever, whether the day calls for nonstop work or a pleasant weekend ride up to that special fishing stream. Now equipped with an all-new and sophisticated liquid-cooled 475cc single-cylinder OHV four-stroke engine, the Foreman also features a new fuel injection system with 36mm throttle body for instant throttle response, consistent performance at high altitude, and hassle-free cold-weather starting. The rear suspension system is lighter than before, thanks to a new design centered around a single, high-quality shock for increased comfort, precision and work capabilities. Also, a shorter wheelbase aids agile handling and helps produce a tighter turning radius. Add in all new styling with a rugged and tough look and you'll see why with credentials like this, the Foreman is the perfect way to lighten the day's work or whisk you away on a day-ride adventure.
Honda's Foreman family of all-terrain vehicles have always been the machines to count on when you need an ATV that's not afraid to take on the tough jobs. And this year they're better than ever: Stronger, smarter, even harder working, whether it's around the ranch, factory, or your favorite trail.
How can that be? Because in addition to four-wheel drive and Honda's innovative Electric Power Steering, the Foreman line now features Honda's Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). That means you get more efficient fuel delivery, easier starting in cold conditions, and less maintenance. While we were at it, we gave the Foreman a new look too, with new, aggressively styled bodywork, plusher suspension, and a more comfortable seat.
So tackling those tough jobs just got a whole lot easier if you hire the right Foreman to take charge of your jobsite.
Fuel-Injected Performance
The Foreman's new fuel-injection system means you'll get an ATV that works harder, with better fuel management and plenty of power and torque for those tough jobs.

A whole new look.
The Foreman line's new bodywork gives it a tough new look. But it does more than just look good: It's still designed to last, despite the scrapes and dings of the job or the woods, to help protect you from mud and other debris, and to keep looking good as long as you own your Honda.

Works hard. Rides easy.
The better your new Foreman rides, the shorter your workday will seem. That's why we gave our 2012 Foreman line a plusher suspension, better ergonomics, and a new, softer seat. It all adds up to a Foreman with a more comfortable ride that is looking out for number one?and that's you
High-Tech Industry.
Sure, they're rugged and reliable, but Honda Utility ATVs are also built to make your life easier, whether you're working the back 40 or your favorite trail, and we achieve this with some of the most revolutionary technology in the industry. Like Electric Power Steering, designed with torque and speed sensors to reduce steering effort (and rider fatigue) when the going gets tough. Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) that allows both rear wheels to move independently, helping you maintain traction and control even in rough terrain.
And there's a transmission for every type of use. Our continuously variable, fully automatic Hondamatic? transmission (available on the Foreman Rubicon), is the smoothest ATV transmission you'll ever experience. The three-speed Honda Automatic transmission (an automotive-style torque converter) is available on our FourTrax Rincon. And the Rancher AT has the Honda automatic dual-clutch, five-speed transmission, which features one of the slickest- and quickest-shifting gearboxes on dirt.
And this is just for starters, as our feature-packed machines are all built with the same purpose in mind: to work and play hard so you don't have to.
Our engineers work hard, so you don't have to.
The new Foreman line is a great example of how smarter is better. The combination of this year's new fuel-injection system and revised suspension team up with such proven Foreman features as our solid rear axle for better towing performance, Honda's exclusive longitudinally mounted engines for superior driveline efficiency, and Honda's unmatched reputation for durability, quality, and reliability.
