Upon its introduction the Big Red� Multipurpose Utility Vehicle (MUV) already stood head and shoulders above all other contenders, thanks to its superior handling, secure feel, comfortable ride and its multiple patents and numerous automotive-based technology features.

INTRODUCTIONWith the Pioneer 500, Honda adds a compact, affordable and fun side-by-side to its product line. From long-time off-road enthusiasts to new side-by-side drivers, the Pioneer 500 will become an instant favourite.
ENGINE

A fuel-injected engine provides great performance and excellent fuel efficiency in a variety of conditions.

Five-speed gearbox with reverse and a LOW first gear uses an electric shift system featuring paddle shifters mounted on the steering column

CHASSIS

The new chassis has compact dimensions of a 2603mm overall length and a wheelbase of 1856mm

The Pioneer 500’s 1270mm width also lets it fit on recreational trails with width restrictions.

EQUIPMENT/FEATURES

The twist-action door release knob opens the door and net together as one unit.

With a large, flat rear carrier offering a load capacity of 204kg, multiple hook points for tie-downs and a towing capacity of 453kg the Pioneer 500 is ready to be taken on the tough jobs

Compact, Affordable, Fun

ENGINE/DRIVE TRAINAt the heart of this capable vehicle is Honda’s 675cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine that has lots of torque and plenty of power.Fuel injection means it will always start up, even on cold days or at high altitude and an all-new intake design helps minimise dust ingestion.In contrast to a belt drive system, the automotive-style Honda Automatic Transmission, with a heavy-duty torque converter and three hydraulic clutches provides positive engine braking. These features together with a two-stage shift map optimise the power delivery throughout the engine's rev range.
CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

The Pioneer’s rugged and solid construction is supported by long-travel suspension of 200mm in front and 230mm in the rear which provides a plush ride with class-leading stability.

In addition to a fully independent rear suspension, the rear shocks feature preload adjustability to handle the Pioneer’s generous load capabilities. Equipped to carry 454 kilograms or tow 680 kilograms, Honda’s Pioneer is ready for the toughest work.

OTHER FEATURES

Exceeding previous Side-by-Side vehicles, Honda’s two seat variant, the Pioneer™ 700-2 boasts all of the same revolutionary features as the four seat variant but instead of the fold-down in-bed seating, it features a conventional hydraulically-assisted tilt bed.

The Pioneer’s Occupant Protection Structure has been built out of sturdy, large diameter tubing and includes details such as integrated handholds, recessed top tubes and a more spacious structure to enhance protection. It also meets OSHA's 1928.53 rollover protection standard.

Ready to tackle the toughest Australian terrain, the compact dimensions of Honda’s new Pioneer offers high level of manoeuvrability and the impressive turning radius will get the Pioneer out of any tight spot.

This all-new ATV raises the bar with bold new styling, a completely new chassis with Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) and a new 500-class engine featuring Honda’s advanced dual-range automatic Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT).Honda’s IRS uses a double-wishbone design with upper/lower A-arms to substantially reduce unsprung weight. The rear knuckle pivots use lightweight metal bushings in place of conventional ball joints and radius arms, eliminating geometry variations as the rear suspension travels through its stroke. This simple design maintains rear wheel alignment and further reduces unsprung weight, contributing to responsive overall handling.The automatic DCT provides the compact size and strength of a manual transmission (no belts to slip, break or burn out) with the convenience of an automatic transmission, while giving the rider the option of push-button manual control via Honda’s Electric Shift Program (ESP®)

ENGINE/DRIVETRAIN

For 2015, the automatic DCT features a new dual shift-mapping program that automatically selects between two transmission shifting modes—either Cruise or Sport mode—for optimum shift timing depending on the rider’s pattern of throttle operation.

During aggressive use, the Sport mode kicks in and holds the transmission in gear longer before shifting to deliver more aggressive performance. During more casual operation, the Cruise mode allows the transmission to shift up sooner for more casual performance and enhanced fuel efficiency.

New Drive/Low sub transmission offers two selectable gear ranges to match varying riding conditions.

CHASSIS/SUSPENSION

New double-cradle steel frame features increased stiffness and better torsional rigidity for precise handling and a smooth ride.

New independent double-wishbone front suspension delivers 185mm of travel. New independent dual-arm rear suspension design offers a more optimal shock ratio and increased suspension stroke for 216mm of travel.

Adjustable spring preload featured on all shocks to allow suspension tuning to match varying loads and riding conditions.
