Rider Impressions:
From an entry-level prospective,
I really enjoyed the ride of the 2006 TRX250EX. One of the first
things I noticed right away was the easy start of the quad.
Another feature I really enjoyed
was the new Honda Sport Clutch. The advantage to this was I was
able to get a feel for the quad without having to worry about
manually shifting with the clutch to change gears all the time.
After I had a feel for the quad I was able to use the clutch to get
the RPMs up.
Another great new feature for the
250 is ease of the reverse selector. Being a novice rider I
sometimes get myself into some tricky spots where it's nice to have
that feature. I was able to work the reverse lever
effortlessly.
The 250 also sports rear brake
lights, which came in very handy when I followed other quads around
on the dusty trails. The new larger shocks made the ride through
the whoops section quite fun.
My overall opinion of the 250EX
was Honda made some very good changes. And any rider could get on
this machine and ride with confidence.
I also had the privilege of
riding the 2006 TRX90, Honda's true beginner or younger rider quad.
Again I enjoyed the ease of the electric start. Later I found out
that this was a new addition to this year's model. Riding this was
so much fun. It had all the power and suspension a small-framed
person could need to get any where on the track.
Both the TRX250EX and the TRX90
went through extensive changes on the body style. They have a much
sportier look, and come in traditional Honda red or all new black.
With all the new features Honda has put into the new line up, any
experience-level rider should be able to hop on one of these quads
and have a wonderful riding experience.
