The 2027 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4×4 is Honda’s workhorse ATV: a 518cc engine, a solid rear axle built for towing and hauling, and the kind of reliability that gets these machines handed down.
Who the Foreman 4×4 is for
Farmers, hunters and landowners who need an ATV that starts every time and keeps working for decades. The Foreman’s reputation for reliability is the reason people buy it, and it’s the same reason they come back for another.
What stands out
- 518cc liquid-cooled engine, mounted longitudinally. Power goes straight to the wheels with fewer right-angle turns, so less is lost along the way.
- 2WD, 4WD and 4WD with locking front differential. Choose the traction you need, and lock the front when it gets bad.
- Solid-axle swingarm rear suspension. Strong and simple, and made for towing and heavy rack loads.
- Assist headlight that turns with the handlebar. Lights up where you’re steering, not just straight ahead.
- Tool-free service access and Maintenance Minder. The tank and side covers come off in one piece, and the display tells you when service is due.
Foreman 4×4 vs. Foreman 4×4 EPS
The EPS adds Honda’s speed- and torque-sensitive electric power steering. It’s the upgrade you’ll feel most after a day of ruts, rocks and side hills. If you’ll ride for long stretches, get the EPS.
Common questions
Why do people pay for a Honda ATV?
Longevity. Honda ATVs have a well-earned reputation for running for years with basic maintenance, and they hold their resale value. On a machine you plan to keep for a long time, that matters more than any spec sheet.
Who can ride a Foreman 4×4 in Virginia?
Virginia limits riders under 16 to ATVs of 90cc or less, so this is an adult machine. Every rider must wear an approved helmet, and ATVs aren’t allowed on public roads except to cross one by the most direct route.
Can I carry a passenger?
Not legally. Virginia prohibits passengers on an ATV unless it’s designed and equipped for more than one rider, and this one is built for one. If you want to ride two-up, look at the MAX version.

Engineering
