It's Official: The 2024 Honda Rubicon 700 Is Coming To Canada
You asked, Honda answered. The 2024 Honda Rubicon lineup now includes a range-topping flagship TRX700 – the Rubicon 700. Powered by the 675cc engine from the Honda Pioneer SxS, this is the big-bore Honda ATV we've been waiting for from Big Red.
Honda's 2024 Rubicon lineup, which sits above the Rancher 420 and Foreman 520, now includes four different models. The foot-shift Rubicon 520 IRS EPS includes independent rear suspension and power steering. The Rubicon 520 DCT IRS EPS is $500 more, runs the same suspension and power steering, but trades the foot-shift for a dual-clutch automatic. At just $500 more, The Rubicon 520 DCT Deluxe is similar but adds style upgrades such as alloy wheels. Now this 2024 Honda Rubicon 700 is a modest $465 upgrade.
The TRX700 Rubicon's engine is actually quite short, top to bottom, which allows it to sit low enough to improve handling by lowering the Rubicon's overall centre of gravity and high enough to improve ground clearance. In the Rubicon 700, there's no clutch to wear out or belt to slip – it's a conventional three-speed automatic transmission. Rugged, durable, dependable. The Rubicon 700 also runs a straight front-to-back crankshaft that gets more power to the wheels – there are no right-angle power-sapping detours.
At ground level, the TRX700 Rubicon runs Maxxis tires on 26-inch wheels. There are 6.9 inches of front suspension travel. Honda includes a full-sized steel front bumper. Also, there are three LED headlights, including one that moves with the handlebars.
