The 2027 Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 4×4 EPS takes the Foreman’s 518cc engine and adds independent rear suspension, electric power steering and a 1,322-lb tow rating. It’s Honda’s top utility ATV for rough country.
Who the Foreman Rubicon 4×4 EPS is for
Riders who work and ride on rough, uneven ground and want a smoother ride than a solid axle can give. Ideal for wooded hunting land and hilly properties.
What stands out
- Independent rear suspension. Each rear wheel moves on its own, keeping tires in contact for better traction and a smoother ride.
- 518cc liquid-cooled engine, mounted longitudinally. Power goes straight to the wheels with fewer right-angle turns, so less is lost along the way.
- Rated to tow 1,322 lb. Plus 99 lb on the front rack and 187 lb on the rear.
- Preload-adjustable suspension, front and rear. Set it for a heavy load or an empty rack.
- Electric Power Steering. Less effort and kickback in ruts and rocks.
Rubicon EPS vs. Rubicon Automatic DCT EPS
The DCT version shifts itself automatically and adds a dual-range gearbox and a single-lever reverse, which is handy for plowing and repetitive back-and-forth work. If you’d rather not shift at all, get the DCT.
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 Rubicon 4×4 EPS 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.
