We put the small Honda Pioneer 520 to the test by loading the bed past capacity. How does it handle? Find out in the video and let us know in the comments below. #Honda #Pioneer #SxS

First thing is 27" tires fit perfectly to handle the ground clearance issue and actually improve the ride alot too. Second, the auto gear shift smooths out after break in and first oil change. Third, crossroads sells a wonderful locking glove box with USB charger for a great price that helps a ton for storage. So other than a few "mandatory" improvements, this little machine is super capable and fun but my last issue is that the 520 needs one more gear. Poor thing is nearly redlining to stay at 35 mph where he speed limit is for UTV's. Great review!

For sure overpriced here in🇨🇦. Also transmission should be more refined from an outfit like Honda. Limiting it to 62 seems a little extreme. Pretty sure it wouldn’t go much faster anyway. Should run forever though with proper maintenance. To all those Honda reliability fans, it’s takes hp to break things🤷🏻♂️. A perfect example is the Honda Talon.

Love my 500 for jobs around the property and hunting.. have a Talon too.. it's really just a ripper, the P5 is suffice for anyone who wants utility

We've been complaining about the storage issue since the 500's came out. Nice that Honda listens. And it doesn't mean they need to jack the price up either if they ever do add what should be standard storage.

Nice little unit. After someone dropped one off at the shop for service and the trans gave me fits to move it over to the other building. I move about 20 machines per day and the shifting was so weird I had to ask about the reverse deal. Once I got it, I had to try to forget everything I had learned moving everything from 3 wheelers from the 80's to 2024's with 1000cc's. I guess it's true about your first time and how memorable it was. A good price point here for what it is, but not a machine to have as a spare to let new riders learn on.

Honestly not a bad utility machine. This would probably be great for a hunter like mysel. I don't need to tow a hay wagon and appreciate the ability to tackle narrow trails. Good ground clearance, and a roof/cab option is all I want to add.

I have the P500 with 27” tires, an added glove box and cargo box. I only run it in manual shift and I LOVE IT! Fun little buggy Keep up the great content

I agree with you, for a utility first machine, storage is a must. Without storage, its just a play machine. Nice little dump bed though. Great review!

So nice it fits in the back of a p/u. I never see in anyone’s inventory, no one ever has them. Wish they could make a sporty version thought.

Have one of these on our farm primarily as my 62yo moms buggy but we all use it. In short, we love the thing and use the hell out of it. I was skidding small trees the other day, same day had 200lb of grass seed in the bed broadcasting seed. Love the size, fuel economy, reliability, simplicity, 4wd lockers, no cvt. As expected, the suspension is limited due to size, it’s expensive for its size, and no power steering. Interior storage is zero. Needs a 6th.

This looks like a great utility side by side. Very refreshing to see something basic in a sea of flash and power and features and expense.

26” tires with 5+2 offset rims gave my 2022 520 a huge upgrade

They a niche machine but work well if you have a need for a smaller machine that can carry 2 people and some cargo. We have one at work and it starts right up every day and does what is needed out of it.

Clutch adjustment (takes literally 1 min) and break in the shifts smooth out a lot

I love my '23, but I wished the top speed was not 38MPH.

Letting off the throttle to shift really shows the stupidity here in this video, it’s a DCT transmission and is made to shift while on the gas, it’s not broken in yet so yes it will shift more abruptly

Really looks like a kids SXS. It's really bottom of the SXS game.
