#2017 rubicon fourwheeler 500 with silverback tires manual

Say goodbye to the old days of the slow conventional automatic transmission that don’t know exactly when or whether to upshift or downshift etc. Strong internals, fast shifts, excellent control, true compression-braking capability in steep terrain and an automatic program that upshifts and downshifts while you concentrate on riding- the Honda automatic dual-clutch transmission has it all, including a low range transmission. It’s light-years ahead of and better than the standard CVT belt-driven transmission that you find on Polaris, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Arctic Cat, etc. It would take a 100-page essay to go over all the details and inner-workings about the DCT transmission. – DCT / Automatic (Dual-Clutch Transmission): Honda originally brought this new DCT transmission out on the Rancher and has now added it to the Rubicon.

Honda is the only manufacturer to offer a true manual transmission with IRS. Now, you can get the 2016 Rubicon with a true manual / foot shift transmission (semi-automatic clutch means no clutch lever). Manual / Foot Shift: This is an option you never had on the Rubicon up until last year.This is the next big thing to compare between the 2017 Foreman vs 2017 Rubicon as they both offer very different transmission options and that can make or break which model will best suit your needs and or wants. Transmission Options / Differences: 2017 Rubicon vs Foreman Its long suspension stroke and plush seat let you tackle your favorite trail or the toughest chores in comfort all day long. Straight / Solid Rear Axle: The Foreman has a swingarm with it’s solid rear axle that provides superior capability for towing and hauling. The Rubicon now features Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) which returns two big benefits: First, it helps ensure constant tire contact with the ground for superior traction second, it gives you an ultra-smooth ride over rough terrain, so you don’t get beat up on the trail. Independent Rear Suspension / IRS: This is a first for the Rubicon as of last year. The Rubicon and Foreman both have adjustable spring pre-load on all shocks which lets you fine-tune the suspension settings to match varying loads and riding conditions. Which is better? Only you can answer that question… There is no denying that the IRS will offer a smoother ride but you have some drawbacks to going that route as well. It all depends on what you’re using the ATV to do. The age-old question of which is better IRS versus straight-axle is still debated all over the internet and in all reality there isn’t one that is “better” per say than the next.
