Positioned in Honda's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2015 Honda FourTrax Foreman 4x4 utilizes a 475 cc (29 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke layout. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 92.0 x 71.5 mm (3.6 x 2.8 inches) with a 9.5:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the FourTrax Foreman 4x4 measures 285.8 kg (630 lbs) dry. Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 869 mm (34.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,267 mm (49.9 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 14.76-liter (3.9 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
