Are they coming out with a 07 independent Rubicon? I've heard rumors, but i want to know. I'd probably buy one if it was independent. The straight axle rubi pounds the heck outta your body. But got good predictable power.

 

I'd also seriously consider buying one, but if Honda put a low range on the Rincon, I'd buy that in a second. I've bought a new DSLR camera and lenses with the money I've saved in not buying a new ATV this year!

 

I honestly think they should keep the SRA if thats what they intend to do. Thats what sets it apart from the Rincon. SRA is nice for pulling heavy loads and cruising through the trails. Put a low on the Rincon but keep the SRA on the Ruby.

 

They should ditch the whole tranny in the Rincon and put the Hondamatic of the Rubicon in instead.


Just the same though, the Canadian Trail Edition Rubicon has a completly different ride then any old Rubicon or any other SRA bike. The shocks have new valving, different progressive spring rates and slightly different mounting geometry, it all adds up to a fantastic ride. I'm sure it will be released to the US eventually, you guys always get the new stuff months before we see it, guess its the other way round this time.

You cant even buy the shocks at a dealer, if a dealer needs one for a warranty or service job, they have to send the old one back to get the new one. Don't know why Honda is so strict about this!?!?

 

What is the Canidian Trail edition? Is it just available in canada? Better ride eh? Maybe i'll ask the dealer about that.
