The Honda TRX450R ($6,999 MSRP) is a legendary race-winning vehicle, proving its prowess in high-stakes competitions like the Baja 1000 and the National MX Championship. These quads dominate desert racing with features like patented SportClutch and Electric Power Steering to make it an indispensable vehicle for extreme survival situations. It's a trail quad that can handle any terrain, perfect for weekend riders and serious ATVers alike. The built in GPScape makes it an awesome tool for long-distance rides. You'll have to work really hard to get lost in the desert with its back-lit display, way point system and constantly updating latitude and longitude display.
The TRX450R isn't just high-performing. It's a comfortable ride too - perfect for long distance rides and intense races. The thumb throttle is indispensable for racers that need to be able to alter speed on a split second basis. One of the advantages of the TRX450R is that it doesn't need to be modified significantly in order to be a competitive machine. The slightly lighter kick-start model is the best pick for people who want to get into racing, but the electric start model is only six pounds heavier, and is a better choice for casual off-road enthusiasts. Jumpers favor this ATV because of its light front end. It's easy enough to pull up, but not so light that the machine would lose control on tight turns. The brakes are responsive, functional and very controllable. This 450cc machine is powerful - don't be surprised if it jerks you around when you hit the thumb throttle. |
