Meet the all-new 2009 Rancher AT. With a
powerful liquid-cooled, fuel-injected 420cc
longitudinally mounted engine, automatic/ESP
five-speed transmission, Electric Power
Steering, independent rear suspension-plus
Honda's selectable 4WD/2WD TraxLok and rugged
torque-sensitive front differential-there's no
better choice for reliable and rewarding ATV
recreation.
Unique Features
- New Honda automatic five-speed
transmission provides five-speed
auto-shifting or push-button manual shifting
with Honda's Electric Shift Program (ESP™,
see Technology Section)
- Rugged OHV liquid-cooled, fuel-injected
420cc longitudinally mounted engine allows
direct driveshaft alignment to both front
and rear wheels for maximum drivetrain
efficiency (see Technology Section).
- Revolutionary Electric Power Steering
(EPS) (see technology section)
- Double-wishbone Independent Rear
Suspension (IRS) contributes to increased
ground clearance and responsive,
class-leading handling.
- Front and rear disc brakes for
phenomenal braking performance.
Engine/Drivetrain
- Powerful 420cc longitudinally mounted
engine eliminates 90-degree power transfers
and boasts exceptional horsepower and
torque. Overhead-valve design provides
compact engine dimensions for excellent
ground clearance.
- Cylinder head redesigned with higher
compression, revised camshaft profile and
larger intake valves (38 vs. 35mm) and
exhaust valves (33 vs. 30mm) to ensure
strong mid-range and top-end power.
- Programmed Fuel-Injection (PGM-FI)
features a 34mm throttle body, 12-hole Denso
injector, and Idle Air Control Valve (IACV)
for crisp performance, excellent economy and
trouble-free operation in cold conditions
and varying altitudes.
- Large 7.2-liter airbox with washable,
reusable foam air filter provides more air
to the engine for increased performance.
- New high-capacity oil system features a
high-flow filter and a two-rotor pump to
provide oil for the engine and the
pressurized transmission clutches.
- Rubber-cushion engine mounting and
gear-driven counterbalancer reduce
vibration.
- Large radiator with cooling fan ensures
optimal engine cooling under difficult
operating conditions.
- Stainless-steel exhaust header and
muffler for superior corrosion resistance.
- Three-chamber muffler baffling uses no
packing material that can blow out,
providing long-lasting performance.
- New lightweight, automatic transmission
offers five-speed auto-shifting or
push-button manual shifting with Honda's
Electric Shift Program (ESP). After the
heavy duty centrifugal clutch engages, two
Electronic Control Module (ECM)-controlled
clutches mounted in the gearbox upshift/downshift
to provide smooth, lurch-free shifts. When
descending hills in automatic mode, the
transmission downshifts, providing excellent
engine braking.
- If rider forgets to downshift when
stopping in ESP mode, the transmission
downshifts to third gear to prevent engine
lugging.
- Excellent fuel economy results from the
transmission's high efficiency.
- TraxLok 4WD/2WD selector lever allows
4WD or 2WD operation. (see Technology
Section).
Chassis/Suspension
- Rugged frame and suspension provide an
exceptional 9.1 inches of ground clearance.
- Independent double-wishbone front
suspension uses premium shock absorbers to
provide 6.3 inches of wheel travel for a
plush, comfortable ride.
- Honda's double wishbone, Independent
Rear Suspension (IRS) provides 6.3 inches of
wheel travel and minimizes geometry
variations as the suspension travels through
its stroke, maintaining rear wheel
alignment, contributing to responsive
overall handling, and reducing tire wear and
maintenance intervals.
- Revolutionary Electric Power Steering
(EPS) (see technology section)
- Dual hydraulic front and single rear
disc brakes provide exceptional stopping
power and feature brake pads that minimize
wear from dust and sand.
- Rear center disc brake and
self-adjusting mechanical rear parking brake
are mounted on the rear driveshaft,
contributing to the AT's considerable ground
clearance.
- Tough, large-diameter 24x8-12 front, and
wide 24x10-11 rear tires provide excellent
ground clearance while maintaining precise
handling.
