Positioned in Honda's atv motorcycle lineup, the 2011 Honda TRX500FE pairs a 499 cc (30.5 cu in) liquid-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 92.0 x 75.0 mm (3.6 x 3.0 inches).
On the scales, the TRX500FE measures 285.8 kg (630 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 861 mm (33.9 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,285 mm (50.6 in) wheelbase engineered for quick, flickable steering geometry. The 15.14-liter (4 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
