The TRX500FPE Foreman with Honda's electric power steering will make your work easier, and make your play even more fun. Not only does the system make the steering lighter when you need it to be, it also helps to minimize kickback when the front wheels hit a rock, rut or other obstacle. This helps you stay more in control, and long rides or tough jobs suddenly become a whole lot less tiring. The TRX500FPE also comes with a powerful and durable 475 cc air-cooled engine, push-button ESP electric shifting, and the option of rugged NaturalGear camo bodywork.
Powerful four-stroke 475cc OHV air-cooled longitudinally mounted engine allows direct driveshaft alignment to both front and rear wheels for improved drivetrain efficiency.
The overhead valve arrangement features angled valves in a hemispherical combustion chamber for straighter intake and exhaust flow for improved engine performance.
Patented oil cooling system features one single larger oil cooler for greater cooling capacity. The cooler is mounted higher in a protected position under the front plastic away from mud and debris and is fed a cool supply of air through a center duct. In addition, to complement the oil cooler, an electric fan is still located in the traditional position in front of the engine.
Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counterbalancer reduce vibration.
Snorkel-type air intake system is specially designed for water crossings.
Integral electric carburetor heater system improves driveability and ensures smooth operation in cold conditions.
Closed crankcase vent system safeguards against engine oil contamination.
Spark arrester/muffler is constructed of stainless steel.
Switchable 2WD/4WD enables the rider to shift between 2WD and 4WD with the simple push of a switch. Quiet operation and smooth engagement are key features of the system. An electromagnetic mechanical clutch unit (EMCU) located on the centre of the propeller shaft engages 4WD with a quiet two-way roller clutch. Unlike mechanical designs, this ensures smooth operation by employing a magnetic switching mechanism that engages when front and rear wheel speeds vary by less than 9.6 km/h.
ESP (Electric Shift Program) for 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 module (ECM) monitors information from four sensors — engine rpm, countershaft speed, shift drum angle and shift spindle angle — 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 3 km/h ensures available engine braking when descending hills. For smooth shifting, the transmission cannot be shifted from neutral to first gear or reverse gear at engine speeds above 3,000 rpm. ESP is not battery-dependent, operating whenever the engine is running. Should the rider ever need to shift manually, the TRX500FPE is also equipped with an auxiliary shift lever in the tool kit.
Super-heavy-duty automatic clutch for excellent driveability and towing capacity.
Maintenance-free shaft drive routes power directly from the longitudinally mounted engine without inefficient directional changes.
Torque-sensitive front differential reduces torque steer for less steering effort.
Convenient electric starter with auxiliary recoil starter and an automatic internal decompression system.
CD ignition with electronic advance for excellent performance and reliability.
Reusable foam air filter.
Honda's revolutionary Electric Power Steering (EPS) system monitors steering torque and vehicle speed to adjust the levels of steering assist and feel. When stopped or at low speeds, it provides more assistance for light steering effort. As speed increases, the amount of assistance is reduced to provide the appropriate level of feedback. Perhaps the most significant benefit is that the system will provide light and consistent steering feel in both 2WD and 4WD operation. As a secondary benefit, the EPS system acts as a steering damper to greatly reduce undesirable kickback through the handlebars in rough or rocky terrain, thereby helping to reduce rider fatigue.
Rugged frame and suspension provide an exceptional 191mm (7.5 inches) of ground clearance.
Independent double-wishbone front suspension uses KYB shock absorbers to give 170mm (6.7 inches) of travel.
Steel swingarm and dual KYB rear shock absorbers give 170mm (6.7 inches) of travel.
Rugged, large-diameter 25 x 8-12 front, 25 x 10-12 rear tires provide added ground clearance while maintaining precise handling.
Dual front disc brake calipers feature a patented built-in scraper system to remove mud and snow from inside the front wheel to help prevent build-up of debris between caliper and rim to ensure consistent braking performance.
Brake pads feature thick long wear material with improved mud durability, feel and control. Pads feature internal scraper that gives audible warning when pad life is low.
SUV styling features flowing fenders with integrated headlights at the front and one center taillight at the rear for a rugged, adventurous look.
Available NaturalGear camouflage colour scheme offers a pattern that's soft, open, and shadow-free for superior camouflage performance in a wide variety of conditions. A special application process ensures superior durability.
Engine design produces low emissions and meets California Air Resources Board (CARB) off-road emissions standards along with current EPA standards.
