What is the benefit of the Honda DCT over a belt-driven CVT? Unlike many competitors that use rubber belts that can slip or break under heavy load, the Honda DCT uses heavy-duty steel gears. This provides more direct power, true engine braking on steep hills, and a much longer lifespan for working around your property.

How does the Electric Power Steering (EPS) help on the trail? Honda’s EPS is speed-sensitive, meaning it gives you more assistance at low speeds for tight maneuvering and less at high speeds for better stability. It also acts as a dampener, preventing the handlebars from “snapping” out of your hands if you hit a rock or root in the woods.
