About the FourTrax Recon ES
The Recon is Honda's most compact utility ATV, ideal for smaller properties or riders who prefer a nimble machine. The 250cc engine provides enough power for light hauling while maintaining excellent fuel efficiency.
Houston-Area Fit
Gulf Coast conditions demand equipment built to last. Houston's clay soil, seasonal flooding, and summer heat test any off-road machine. Honda's sealed components and corrosion-resistant hardware handle these conditions better than most. Whether you're maintaining property in Katy, working a ranch near Brenham, or heading to Sam Houston National Forest for a weekend trip, this machine is engineered for Texas terrain.

Features
- Semi-dry-sump engine design The overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates a compact and lightweight engine that improves handling by lowering the center of gravity and increasing ground clearance.
- Longitudinal engine layout By orienting the engine front to back in the chassis, we route the power flow straight to the wheels without any unnecessary right-angle detours. This reduces powertrain friction and puts more grunt to the ground.
- Electric Shift Program (ESP) Found exclusively on the ES model, our ESP system features a semi-auto clutch with easy, push-button upshifting and downshifting. No foot-shift lever is required, making it ideal for riding in mud or with snow-covered boots.
- Shaft drive The shaft drive is clean, low-maintenance, and efficient. Perfect for high-mileage riders, it eliminates the need for lubrication or adjustment at home or on the trail.
- Comfortable seat A thick foam seat with a rugged cover is designed for all-day comfort and support.
