Honda have recently added 2 new models to the heavy duty Foreman AT range - TRX500FM (manual shift) and TRX500FE (electric shift).

These ATV's have undergone a total redesign from the ground up, using an entirely different design procedure that places extensive customer feedback at the heart of the changes. Read the write up in the Farmers Weekly

  • redesigned engine - a sophisticated water-cooled, 475cc single-cylinder, OHV four-stroke engine with a higher compression ratio provides excellent 'low down' power - perfect for pulling away with heavier loads
  • new fuel injection system - featuring a 36mm throttle body that provides instant throttle response, consistent performance through the power range and trouble-free cold weather starting
  • new rear suspension - the combination of a new steel swingarm design and a single, high-quality shock absorber with 174mm travel enables well-controlled power delivery, as well as increased comfort, precision and work capability
  • adjustable pre-loading - both front and rear shocks are adjustable and pre-loadable, allowing the user to set personal preferences according to terrain and the task in hand


Taking the durability and performance for which Honda ATVs are famed, the new Foreman models now come with a raft of significant new features designed to improve rider experience, increase usability and meet the needs of the demanding utility market sector.

The new Foreman has a different look and feel, too. All new body styling gives it a more purposeful and 'open' appearance and redesigned front/rear mudguards offer exceptional mud and splash protection. Improved steering geometry, new seat design, upgraded rider position and a smoother gear change all combine to offer a first-class rider experience that is considerably less fatiguing during prolonged use.

Those who have already tested the ATV's have given some great feedback:

Tom Taylor:"In my opinion, the machine is very good indeed and it carries a lot more 'punch' than its predecessor. The most outstanding area of improvement is the increased power and torque. The steering is more positive and the ride is far improved because the suspension is better."

Tim Rochfort:"Significant improvements have been made to body work, rider position and comfort. The seat is softer, the steering lighter and it is a much cleaner and drier ride. The single rear shock absorber offers a new level of comfort, control and stability that operators will really appreciate, without any of the 'roll' that is more common to IRS. It's much better for towing, too. In my view, it's much easier to ride for a longer period of time."

Phil Webb, Head of Power Equipment at Honda (UK) comments:
"We didn't want to simply add a few new bits to the old Foreman, we wanted a completely reworked machine featuring significant changes that people really wanted. So, we undertook a comprehensive survey of customers and input their feedback into the design process and this exceptional new machine is as much a testimony to them as it is to our engineers and designers' clever design. The Foreman has definitely evolved but will continue its heritage as a class-leading, heavy-duty ATV."
