What is the advantage of the Honda Rancher’s longitudinal engine?
By mounting the engine “longitudinally” (with the crankshaft pointing front-to-back), Honda eliminates unnecessary right-angle 90-degree turns in the drivetrain. This allows more horsepower to reach the wheels and creates a lower center of gravity for better stability on side-hills.

How does the TraxLok 2WD/4WD system help on the trail?
TraxLok allows you to toggle between 2WD for lighter steering and better fuel economy on flat ground, and 4WD when you need maximum traction in mud or snow. The torque-sensitive front differential automatically sends power to the wheel with the most grip to keep you moving.
