Originally designed as a utility vehicle, ATVs have come a long way from their low-powered roots. Enthusiasts early on saw the potential of these versatile vehicles, and began tuning them less for power and more for speed. Today, manufacturers like Honda produce racing quads that are lightweight, high-powered, and suited for everything from motocross to ice racing to cross country applications. The TRX line has been their showcase, and this year's model does not disappoint.
The Honda TRX700XX is the newest and most powerful Honda ATV in their sport and racing line. Featuring a beefy 686cc four stroke engine, double wishbone suspension, and independent shocks, this quad just begs to tear up the dirt. The independent rear suspension allows superior traction and stability on uneven ground, keeping the bike moving under the dodgiest of conditions. The TRX isn't just a racing quad, though, the liquid cooling system is designed to keep the bike running in the harshest conditions. A three-gallon tank plus a specially-tuned fuel injection system gives the TRX substantially increased drive time among its competitors, allowing enthusiasts to range far and wide. The centered drivetrain enhances stability, and the high ground clearance ensures the quad can get over just about any obstacle you decide to try it against. The Honda TRX700XX is truly a quad that has appeal for mudslinging racers and rough-terrain adventurers alike, and is sure to be a fixture in quad racing this year. Only time will tell what new tricks the Honda designers have in store for the quad racing world. |
