2018 Honda Rancher 420 2WD & 4WD

Six versions to choose from

In an age of increasing specialization, versatility can be extremely refreshing, and it's difficult to find a better example of do-it-all effectiveness than Honda's family of capable Rancher® ATVs. No matter what the application—whether it's accessing a favorite deer stand, repairing a fence on the back 40, or just exploring the local OHV area with friends—there's a Rancher that's ideally suited. Available in six configurations, the Rancher is offered with manual transmission, push-button Electric Shift Program™ (ESP®), or automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), and there are also choices between IRS and a solid rear axle, as well as 2WD and 4WD. The 420cc liquid-cooled single-cylinder engine offers the sort of unrivaled reliability that keeps Rancher owners using their vehicles for many years, and appropriately, the spread of power is well suited for any situation.

Non-IRS models have rubber swingarm pivot bushings that yield plush low-speed ride comfort and great durability, and rear brake is located in a protected area inside the right rear wheel for durability and ground clearance.ATV Rider

Honda's commitment to the multipurpose segment continues, with the Rancher available with a wide variety of options. Only Honda offers three different ATV transmission technologies, including foot-shift manual, push-button Electric Shift Program™ (ESP®), and the industry-leading fully automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), a Honda exclusive in powersports.

The two EPS models have Electric Power Steering, with ECU mapping that provides linearity in steering response for low steering effort, enhanced maneuverability and minimum kickback.ATV Rider
