Honda TRX 250EX
When you are in the market for a new sport ATV, don’t settle for anything less than the best. The Honda TRX 250EX is built with a level of quality and engineering that is obvious at first glance, and even more obvious when you push the electric starter and hear the engine.
The Honda TRX 250EX features Honda’s acclaimed SportClutch which will quickly become one of your favorite features. This clutch will teach you how to use a clutch and a manual transmission correctly without killing the engine. The TRX 250EX will not stall when coming to a stop while in gear with the clutch disengaged. You can use the clutch for smooth shifting while under power to practice motor cross gate hole-shots and for clutching for more acceleration while coming out of corners. The SportClutch bridges the gap between an automatic transmission and a full manual transmission.
The Honda TRX 250EX has a fun factor of “Wow!” that will be enjoyed adults of all sizes and skill levels. The seating position on the 250EX is well planned for riders of every size and age. No matter how tall you are, you will never feel cramped and you can stand, sit or hang off the side for turning stability.
The 229cc, air cooled four stroke longitudinally-mounted engine produces plenty of low end torque. Popping wheelies is easy and fun due to the short wheelbase the Honda TRX 350EX offers. The electric start is very responsive and the throttle effort is light and easy to manage with the 22 mm Keihin carburetor.
The Honda TRX250EX requires very little maintenance other than checking the tire pressure, cleaning the air intake filter and changing oil on occasion. The air box, battery and carb are easy to access under the seat.
This Honda has a 5 speed transmission with reverse and it is shaft driven. The shaft is inside the swingarm so it is virtually maintenance free. The non-adjustable front double A arm control arms handle the rough terrain very well and the mono rear shock sits up and down and offers 5.7 inches of wheel travel.
The short wheelbase of the 250EX makes it take corner really well. It is not tippy and it is very easy to whip around rocks and trees.
Stopping power is provided with the front dual hydraulic brake calipers that halt the steel discs well and the sealed rear drum brake gets the job done behind you.
The Honda 250EX is affordable and is designed to help younger less experienced riders enhance their skills before going on to a bigger and more powerful ATV. However, even advanced riders will surely appreciate the fun ride and the comfort and reliability of the Honda TRX 250EX. The 250EX is available in either red or white.
