Features & Benefits

Engine

  • ESP (Electric Shift Program) features push-button upshifting and downshifting. The rider shifts simply and precisely with the press of the upshift or downshift button mounted on the left handlebar. An onboard electronic control unit (ECU) monitors information from four sensors-engine rpm, countershaft speed, shift drum angle, and shift spindle angle sensors-to control the speed of the electric shift motor's gear and clutch engagement. Gear engagement speed varies according to rider style: The transmission shifts more quickly when riding style turns sporty. A neutral lockout at speeds greater than 2 mph ensures available engine braking when descending hills. To ensure smooth shifting, the transmission cannot be shifted from neutral to first gear or reverse gear at engine speeds above 3000 rpm. ESP is not battery-dependent, operating whenever the engine is running. Should the rider ever need to shift manually, the Foreman ES is also equipped with an auxiliary shift arm in the tool kit.
  • Powerful, rugged, OHV air-cooled 433cc engine is longitudinally mounted for improved drivetrain efficiency.
