I want a fully auto Utility with IRS. Which Honda do I need? I have POLARIS sportsman 500 now. Thanks.

 

Rincon is your only choice, unless they release something new next month????

Rincon is the way to go!

 

dobie.
i had a 2003 arctic cat 500 with irs and i traded it for my rubicon and i love it.
its not irs but its as good or better then most atvs out there.
the strait axel dosent matter now that im used to it.
if you want a honda that performs the the rubicon is the one.
i looked at the rincon when i got mine but i like the five speed over the three speed.
so thats why i got the rubicon.
and im glad i did.
i've never road a rincon but the rubicon is one sweet ride.
and it has auto or manual.
the best of both trannys.

 

i have rode both rincon and rubicon the rincon rides good but doesent have the options i wanted so i got the rubi for several reasons the rubi has low range,rincon no low range,rubi 5 speed rincon 3 speed, also the rincon has more cv joints to replace when they go bad and we all know how expensive cv joints are....lol ..if your looking for a real tough atv the rubi is it and if you want it to be more sporty just add warn 424 kit. steers easier and puts all the power to the rear wheels. And i noticed more aftermarket parts are becoming available for honda utilities Highlifter is now making disc brake systems a very sweet upgrade if you ride in water and mud.i've noticed the front brakes tend to sweat inside the drums,disc would completly solve it.

 

Rubicon's my vote. The wide range of gearing has come in handy on more than one occasion.

 

Whats faster the rubi or the rincon?

 

I've had my rubicon up to 57mph on blacktopand let off it ,lol had it to 68 on ice sitting still.
not sure how fast the rincon is..a dude i sometimes ride with said he had his rubi over 70..

 

I highly doubt he had it up to 70 without some SERIOUS help from hill, wind, etc. It's still a stretch even with all the perfect factors.

 

My Ruby will do 50 mph(80 kilometers) flat out and thats with the 26"mud lites on.
and i checked the odomater with a kilometer marker and i went from the 1 to the 40 and at the forty kilometer marker my odomater said 40 klicks point 1.
so my speedos is prety close and thats the best it can do.
80 kilometers per hour.
