The new 2009 Honda Rancher


Posted March 24, 2009

    For 2009, Honda is elevating the list of Rancher capabilities with the introduction of the new AT, which boasts an exceptional combination of features. The Rancher AT sends the power of its liquid- cooled, fuel-injected 420cc engine, through an all-new automatic five- speed transmission featuring auto shifting or push-button manual shifting with Honda’s Electric Shift Program. Two ECM-controlled clutches mounted in the gearbox upshift/downshift to provide smooth, lurch-free operation. When descending hills in automatic mode, the transmission downshifts, providing excellent engine braking. The AT also comes with Independent Rear Suspension and optional Electric Power Steering.

   The Rancher series is also available in these configurations:
   • Rancher 2WD
   • Rancher with in/out 4x4 and optional EPS (Electric Power Steering)
   • Rancher with in/out 4x4, ESP (Electric Shift Program) and optional EPS.

   All Rancher 4x4 models feature TraxLok--a system that allows riders to choose between two- and four-wheel drive, and a torque- sensing front differential . For more information see your Honda dealer, or visit www.powersports.honda.com.
