Honda Announces the Return of Four-Wheel Mainstays for 202

In a four-wheel powersports announcement today, American Honda confirmed the return of several models to their 2025 side-by-side and ATV rosters, suiting the needs of a wide variety of enthusiasts.

Available in two seating configurations and a total of seven different trim levels, Honda's Talon sport side-by-side platform is a versatile machine for tackling the toughest terrain in riding areas from coast to coast. Meanwhile, the FourTrax Rubicon 4x4 is the largest and most powerful ATV Honda makes, designed for comfort and performance. On the other end of the sizing spectrum, the TRX90X continues to give kids their first taste of the off-road world.

"The models included in our first four-wheel powersports announcement of the 2025 calendar year are a perfect illustration of how Honda addresses the needs of a wide variety of off-road enthusiasts," said Colin Miller, Manager of Public Relations at American Honda. "From the high-performance Talon platform, to the hardworking FourTrax Rubicon 4x4, to the diminutive-but-capable TRX90X, Honda is committed to offering great options for every customer."
