The Rincon could have simply gotten the Rubicon's transmission but Honda tried to outsmart themselves on this one. How they continue to build and sell them is a mystery. I'm sure a lot of them collect dust on the showroom floor or dealers simply don't even order them. The Rincon is terrible at both work and play. I remember watching that review years ago. Doug actually likes semi-auto utility quads but not the Rincon. He most recently has put quite a bit of miles on a new Honda Pioneer 500 utv and really likes it. It has a 5 speed paddle shift transmission. That machine could be really good with more power but then the price would obviously go up.
