If you’re a proud Honda Pioneer owner, you already know why these machines are some of the most reliable UTVs on the market. But whether you’re trail riding, working the farm, or hitting big mud parks, the right upgrades can completely transform your Pioneer’s performance, comfort, and durability.

When you see Vessel Powersports show up at a mud park, you see the action: the bounty hole carnage, crowds around our booth, the Honda ATVs climbing out of deep mud, and the riders taking home trophies.
But what most people don’t see is everything that goes into making a mudding weekend happen.

Bounty holes are the ultimate test of power, skill, and machine durability — and they’ve quickly become one of the most intense attractions at major mud parks across the South. Whether you’re riding a Honda Rancher, Foreman, Rubicon, or a fully built mud bike, the bounty hole will expose every weakness in your setup and your riding strategy.

At Vessel Powersports, we help riders at every stage create the perfect Honda build. In this guide, we break down beginner vs. experienced rider setups, what parts matter most, and how to build your machine the right way without wasting money.

When mudding season kicks off, thousands of riders load up their Honda ATVs and UTVs and hit some of the South’s biggest mud parks for weekends packed with riding, racing, camping, and community. But for companies like Vessel Powersports, these events are more than just fun—they’re a chance to connect with riders face-to-face, showcase new products, and support the off-road community that keeps this industry alive.
