[@andrewinsinga2993]

If only Honda would build the foot shift models with High and Low Range it would sell in droves!

[@JohnnyRebKy]

You don't need low range when you have a manual with 1st gear 🤷. It IS low range.

[@SuperCaveman16]

@@JohnnyRebKywhat he is talking about is the dct model has a 5 speed with dual range so you can put it in manual mode and put it in 1st low which is even lower. It would be nice if the foot shift model had it too for really heavy towing.

[@SuperCaveman16]

I agree. I don’t know why the dct models have it and the foot shifts don’t. You would think Honda could incorporate it somehow

[@Icutmetal]

@@JohnnyRebKyOk

[@Icefisher420]

1st gear on the foot shift model is lower then 1st low on dct model and 2nd on the foot shift is the same as 3 low on dct.

[@Ainventor]

Wow, I really enjoyed your review. You were concise while explaining the features of the Rubicon I am interested in. I usually do not leave comments however in this case, I feel it is well warranted. Thank you

[@BrickNick931]

I appreciate the feedback! Glad to help

[@rossburton4244]

Nice overview! So much for the new engine break-in period with no hard starts!

[@CrazyDanishViking]

My thought also

[@shreksexy6879]

Great review! Your very knowledgeable & would make a good salesman at a dealership.

[@lapinott]

Thank you! ;)

[@user-fp4ph4eo6b]

Best bike rules

[@nonamenoname-ek3xu]

I want it

[@bruce9063]

Do you get as much of a thrill on a Pioneer 520 as you do the rubicon? Any preferences ?

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

I have the 2023 pioneer 520 and it’s not very “thrilling”… depending on what that means to you. It’s more of a work buggy and it’s what my 64yo mom drives around. If you’re looking for thrills look for a quad or a sport sxs.

[@averagestudent911]

Is it comfortable for 2 people? Can it accomodate 2 people?

[@chadweaver251]

Any ideas on adding 4-7 more horsepower? A Suzuki King Qaud is rated at 38.5 Horsepower. Turing to decide which one to buy.

[@steve5ray]

Do you recommend the power steering?

[@thebigboss1839]

All of them already come with elecronic power steering .. like it or not .. unless you buy and older model not new one

[@murph8857]

Are the headlights/third light LED ? Thanks

[@BrickNick931]

Nope none of them unfortunately

[@jamesc6137]

Is the foot shifter pretty easy to shift? I had a 2010 rancher 420 foot shift and the shifter was hard to shift through the gears. It never seemed to “brake in” and loosen up. I loved the quad but was sick of that hard clunky foot shift and finally sold it.

[@limplin7]

Does The Rancher 4x4 EPS Manual have a Dif Lock?

[@travisfuson5667]

No the rancher is open differential only

[@markwegner6100]

How fast?

[@jthondacrf8926]

I just bought that exact model branew and it's making a bad noise in the rear end a clanking noise i already haft to take it to the shop

[@user-yf6py4db9z]

Mine did the same thing . caused by all the litlle free play in the rear drive train. would happen mostly when turning in 4 th gear with little throttle. I can tell you though that it is alot better than all the noise and free play that I had in my kodiak 450 2022. Now that was a piece of crap !!

[@jthondacrf8926]

@@user-yf6py4db9z it's now starting to go away as it breaks in

[@redemptiverevelation]

@@user-yf6py4db9zdid it resolve?

[@Kanza-ox1mg]

@@user-yf6py4db9zHonda is nice. I’d rather have a Honda rancher than a new can am renegade 1000 just because Honda is an amazing quality and I had an 02 and it was a beast then my dad sold and and me and him were sad. But in January I got a 21 rancher it’s amazing.

[@dontump2286]

how many did you take before this video ?

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

What can you do to these to get a little more power? Exhaust and tune?

[@Icutmetal]

Different brand.

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

@@Icutmetal haha!

[@rickyc664]

For about 3,000 less you get a CF Moto C Force 500 with power steering and a winch.

[@BrickNick931]

Good luck with that!! I wonder why it’s so cheap

[@rickyc664]

​@@BrickNick931Chinese made, and they have great reviews, I looked at tons of them before I bought mine.

[@Zukrider13]

My Cforce 500 runs circles around this 520. More hp, EPS, higher speed, More GC, & it’s $2000 cheaper. Comes with 2500 lb winch with best in industry LED lights. Honda needs to step it up! They’re still in the 90s. My cforce 600 is even better than the rincon 680 in our group. My 600 & buddies 570 sportsman both smokes it in a drag race. No problems out of any machines in our group. All about how you take care of your machine.

[@silviannistor]

@BrickNick931 Honda probably it is the most reliable, but it s such a crude and rudimentary machine, it looks like it was built in the early 90s. Do i want an already outdated machine to last me 20 or 30 years? Personally no, but i can understand guys who would. Each to it s own, but in 20 years i ll probably change at least 4, and not because they will break apart.

[@rickyc664]

@@silviannistor sounds like you've never ridden one and maybe not seen one up close.

[@crosisofborg5524]

Honda or nothing for me. I want a rubicon.

[@zaeher3081]

With less than 600 cc for this price? Too expensive.

[@nigel900]

For reverse, pull the red buh-ehn…

[@musicman6887]

A traxter 500 will outwork, and outpull this thing everyday

Junk the old ones were the best these new ones a complete garbage I have had two new Hondas in the last 10 years and nothing but problems transmission motor and rear-end problems never again will I buy one

[@mountainpride]

You must have got ones made on Monday or Friday. My 2015 has never had an issue. It has 6500 miles. I haven't even changed the battery yet an its 9 1/2 yrs old. I ride in very steep and very rocky terrain an had to pull a couple Polaris atv back to there truck.

[@Icutmetal]

Yet here you are.

[@Icutmetal]

@@justinturdeau2383 No kidding…

[@JoshuaOverman]

Not true the new Hondas are tanks i know from personal experience and seeing other people that have them.

[@bruce9063]

Do you get as much of a thrill on a Pioneer 520 as you do the rubicon? Any preferences ?

[@SuperCaveman16]

Me personally the foreman is much more fun than the pioneer. Pioneer feels underpowered compared due to having the same engine and much more weight. Still it’s a nice machine.

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

I agree with caveman. The pioneer 520’s power is pretty weak and the suspension travel is very limited. Look elsewhere for thrills.

[@freidrichnietzsche6643]

I really wish Honda made a big bore version of this bike.
