Default Honda Disc Brakes

Has anyone heard if Honda is going to put disc brakes on their Foreman's or Fourtrax's any time soon?

No but I think eventually I will buy some disc for the front of my Foreman. After the drum brakes are shot.

Also do the 26 mud bugs ad anything to the top speed? Are they actually taller than the stock tires? (Sometimes a 26 may be shorter than a 25 depending on the brand.)

They need disc brakes, so much more stopping power and so much easier to change the brake pads on a disc brake system.

Foreman450es, the mudbugs are excellent. I don't know about a power difference because I bought right off of the showroom floor with these tires on it but it keeps up just as well to the stock Foreman,s that my friends ride. You do lose a little top end but not enough to worry about. Maybe 5mph. They are probably 2" taller than stock with the deeper lugs.
