Styling - The Foreman line's bodywork gives it a tough look. But it does more than just look good: It's designed to last, despite the scrapes and dings of the job or the woods, and to help protect you from mud and other debris.
2013 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4x4 ES TRX500FE Review
Built to work — even harder...
All Foreman 4x4 features plus adds: Electric Shift Program
For a hard-working riding partner that also knows more than a thing or two about recreation, the FourTrax® Foreman® series of 4x4 ATVs is hard to beat. Featuring Honda's renowned Electric Shift Program (ESP®) that delivers push-button convenience for shifting, the Foreman ES line of ATVs boasts a strong-running liquid-cooled 475cc single-cylinder OHV four-stroke engine that's powerful enough for taking on a wide range of extra-tough jobs. Credit the fuel injection system for near-instant throttle response, consistent performance at high altitude, and hassle-free cold-weather starting-key benefits of the Foreman's performance package. The rolling chassis delivers agile handling and a tight turning radius, and features suspension that provides remarkable comfort and hard-working capabilities. Factor in the option of Electric Power Steering (EPS), and you've got one of the strongest, hardest-working rides available today.
Honda’s Foreman all-terrain vehicles have always been the machines to count on when you need an ATV that’s not afraid to take on the tough jobs. And this year is no different: they’re just as strong. Just as rugged. And just as hard working, whether it’s around the ranch, the factory, or on your favorite trail.
In addition to four-wheel drive and Honda’s innovative Electric Power Steering, the Foreman line features Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI). That means you get more efficient fuel delivery, easier starting in cold conditions and less maintenance. The Foreman looks the part, too, with aggressively styled bodywork, plush suspension, and a comfortable seat for all-day riding.
So if you’ve got some tough jobs lined up on the jobsite, make sure you put the Foreman in charge.
For riders who prefer a manual-shift transmission, the FourTrax® Foreman® 4x4 line of ATVs fulfills the role of a tough and seasoned workhorse, whether the day calls for a 10-hour shift at the ranch or a pleasant weekend ride to that special fishing spot. Equipped with a strong-pulling liquid-cooled 475cc single-cylinder OHV four-stroke engine, the Foreman also features a sophisticated Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) system for optimum throttle response, consistent performance at high altitude, and hassle-free cold-weather starting. The tough rear suspension system incorporates a high-quality shock for increased comfort, precision and work capabilities. Also, a short wheelbase aids agile handling and helps produce a tight turning radius. Add in crisp styling with a rugged and tough look and you'll see why the Foreman is the perfect way to lighten the day's work or whisk you away on an adventure.
High-Tech Industry.
Sure, they're rugged and reliable, but Honda Utility ATVs are also built to make your life easier, whether you're working the back 40 or your favorite trail, and we achieve this with some of the most revolutionary technology in the industry. Like Electric Power Steering, designed with torque and speed sensors to reduce steering effort (and rider fatigue) when the going gets tough. Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) that allows both rear wheels to move independently, helping you maintain traction and control even in rough terrain.
And there's a transmission for every type of use. Our continuously variable, fully automatic Hondamatic™ transmission (available on the Foreman Rubicon), is the smoothest ATV transmission you'll ever experience. The three-speed Honda Automatic transmission (an automotive-style torque converter) is available on our FourTrax Rincon. And the Rancher AT has the Honda automatic dual-clutch, five-speed transmission, which features one of the slickest- and quickest-shifting gearboxes on dirt.
2013 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4x4 ES TRX500FE Key Features
Important Safety Information - Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner's manual thoroughly.
Fuel-Injected Performance. - Equipped with our Programmed Fuel Injection system, the Foreman works harder, provides better fuel management, and delivers plenty of power and torque for those tough jobs.
It looks tough. Because it is tough. - The Foreman’s bodywork gives it a rugged appearance. But it does more than just look good. It’s designed to last, despite the scrapes and dings of the job or woods; to help protect you from mud and other debris; and to keep looking good as long as you own it.
Tough on the job. Not on you. - The better your Foreman rides, the shorter your workday seems. That’s why we gave our Foreman line plush suspension with comfortable ergonomics and a soft saddle. So you can tackle your chores or the trails in comfort, all day long.
2013 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4x4 ES TRX500FE Features and Benefits
Styling - The Foreman line's bodywork gives it a tough look. But it does more than just look good: It's designed to last, despite the scrapes and dings of the job or the woods, and to help protect you from mud and other debris.
Liquid Cooling - Our time-tested Honda engine is liquid-cooled, which provides more consistent operating temperatures and more power than a comparable air-cooled motor. This adds up to better performance and longer engine life.
Accessory Power Outlet - The Foreman comes with a 12-volt accessory outlet as standard equipment. That makes it easy to run or recharge your electronics (cell-phone charger, GPS, etc.) out in the woods or on the jobsite. An optional rear-mounted outlet is also available as a Honda Genuine Accessory.
Triple Headlights - The Foreman features three headlights, two mounted on the front fenders and one on the handlebar. The 45-watt handlebar light moves with the bar to illuminate the area you choose. All three use multi-reflector lenses for superior light distribution.
TraxLok - Our rock-solid reliable mechanical system lets you choose either 2WD or 4WD, giving you the freedom to choose between lighter steering (in 2WD) and maximizing available traction (4WD) when you need it most.
Semi-Dry-Sump Engine Design - Compact and lighter-weight, the Foreman's overhead-valve, semi-dry sump design creates an engine that's not only shorter from top to bottom, but one that enhances handling by lowering the center of gravity and increasing ground clearance.
Fuel Injection - The Foreman's fuel-injection system does more than just deliver crisp, seamless performance and ensure hassle-free operation in cold conditions and varying altitudes. It also improves throttle response and returns better fuel efficiency.
Comfortable Seat - A soft seat and open rider triangle (Bars/Seat/Pegs) teams up with the suspension to really treat you right. Superior ergonomics have always been a Honda priority, and the Foreman is no exception.
Towing Capacity - Got a tough job to tackle? No problem—the Foreman is up to the task. With a generous 850-pound towing capacity and rack capacity of 66 pounds up front and 133 pounds in the rear, the Foreman is ready to double as a pack mule when you need to carry a load. (Hitch ball shown sold separately.)
Adjustable Suspension - With a plush suspension front and rear, the Foreman absorbs bumps so you don't have to. That means you can work longer—without feeling like you have.
Longitudinal Engine Layout
Electric Shift Program (ESP) - Upshifting and downshift has never been this easy: With Honda's available exclusive ESP system, you get the ease of an automatic with the strength of a conventional transmission. To shift up or down all you have to do is push one of two handlebar-mounted buttons. Since there's no foot-shift lever, ESP is also a bonus when riding in heavy or mud/snow-covered boots.
