As with the Honda quads custom-made for New Zealand conditions for at least 40 years, the new range is no different, the company says.
The range extends from the TRX250 to the “awesome” TRX680. In between sit the 420cc and 500cc workhorses that are “unwavering favourites in the New Zealand market”.
The 500cc Forman range comes in automatic or manual and with the option of power steering. These models are the “power performers” of the range – the manual versions can tow 250kg. The manual versions also have front diff-lock enabling them to pull through deep mud.
Big news in the 2014 offering is the 420cc Rancher range, says Blue Wing Honda. The 420s now the same heavy duty frame as the 500cc machines. The 420FM has a solid rear swing-arm with durability similar to the 500cc design. And the automatic models have revised transmission mapping.
Other features include new styling, stronger headlights, thicker seat foam, enclosed rear axles and better CV boots.
