2009 Honda FourTrax Foreman: Options and Specs

Sep. 15, 2009 By Press Release

Honda Foreman ATVTo build a great workhorse ATV, we start with the heart

The FourTrax Foreman 4x4 is built around our strong, single-cylinder, 475cc longitudinal engine. By orienting the crankshaft front-to-back in the chassis, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any right-angle detours, reducing power-train friction and putting more grunt to the ground.

Hey, it’s a Honda. You wouldn’t expect anything less.
