Big where you need it, not where you don’t. Make no mistake: Recon is here to work. All the power you want, in a more nimble package.

You don't need a sledgehammer to hang a picture, and that same philosophy applies to ATVs. So we built the Recon, a powerful ATV with a smaller footprint. Equipped with a 250cc-class engine, this 2WD workhorse delivers seamless, reliable power right when you need it. Its compact size helps you tackle those tighter trails some larger ATVs may struggle with. And it’s even available in two different models: with our conventional foot-shift transmission, or the Recon ES with Honda’s Electric Shift Program (ESP), allowing you to thumb-shift using two handlebar buttons. So if you’re looking for a hard-working, hard-playing ATV with a smaller stature, look no further than the Recon.

Important Safety Information
Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner’s manual thoroughly.
