Honda bundles the best recreational, sport and utility ATV into one extensive package. The 2008 FourTrax Rincon GPScape is the most advanced ATV in its class, boasting features such as 700-class power, fully independent rear suspension, TraxLok, and tons more. One feature in particular, Honda's patented, industry-exclusive GPScape navigation system, will certainly make some heads turn. The new color for 2008 is White, which joins Red, Olive and NaturalGear™ Camouflage on the TRX680FA.
This is Honda’s largest liquid-cooled four-stroke ATV featuring a single-cylinder, fuel-injected 675cc OHV engine. The automotive-style Honda automatic transmission features a hydraulic torque converter, three hydraulic clutches and an Electronic Control Unit (ECU) to automatically select one of three forward gears and one reverse gear. The Electronic Shift Program (ESP) system lets riders shift up or down with the push of a button while an electric motor disengages the clutch, shifts the gearbox and re-engages the clutch. The Rincon’s TraxLok selectable 2WD/4WD uses a clutchless front differential system that automatically sends power to whichever front wheel has the most grip.
A rugged steel perimeter frame strengthens the Rincon overall. Major components are forged from aluminum for weight saving measures, including front upper control arms, rear upper and lower control arms, rear knuckles, and front and rear wheels.
The superb suspension makes for a plushy ride. The front has independent double-wishbone suspension and uses premium shock absorbers that
provide 6.9 inches of suspension travel. Honda's independent rear suspension uses a double-wishbone design and features forged-aluminum knuckles and upper/lower A-arms to substantially reduce unsprung weight. The rear knuckle pivots use lightweight metal bushings in place of conventional ball joints and radius arms, eliminating geometry variations as the rear suspension travels through its stroke.
Dual front disc brake calipers feature a patented built-in scraper system to remove mud and snow from inside the front wheel to help prevent buildup of debris between caliper and rim to ensure consistent braking performance. A rear center hydraulic disc brake and self-adjusting mechanical rear parking brake are mounted on the rear driveshaft, further reducing unsprung weight and contributing to the Rincon's considerable ground clearance.
With comfort and utility maximized, the Rincon truly has it all. The thickly padded seat uses dual-density foam to provide all-day riding comfort. A side-opening compartment has 4 liters of storage capacity and can be opened when the rider is seated. The Multi-function LCD digital instrumentation is compact, tough and waterproof, featuring large readouts for gear-selector position, speedometer, odometer, resettable tripmeter and hourmeter/clock. Instrument housing includes LEDs for Drive, Neutral, Reverse, temperature warning and FI warning indicator. A fuel gauge located within the instrument housing comes as standard equipment.
