• Recon (TRX250TM)
• Recon ES (TRX250TE)

At the opposite end of the spectrum from Honda's big Rincon is the 229cc Recon, an ATV that's relatively small in size but big on fun and value. Recognizing the importance of easy maneuverability for some users, engineers gave this model a small footprint and a light overall weight, resulting in agile, nimble handling. As is the case with their larger models, Honda offers Recon customers options when it comes to transmission, with a manual, foot-shift gearbox and electric, push-button ESP shifting both available.

Engine / Drivetrain

• The air-cooled OHV 250-class four-stroke engine is famously reliable.
• With overhead valves and a semi-dry-sump design, the engine is more compact, resulting in good ground clearance and a low center of gravity.
• Engine is longitudinally mounted, with the crankshaft oriented in the direction of travel. This does away with unnecessary right angles in the drivetrain, reducing friction and efficiently transferring more power to the wheels.
• Two transmission options: The standard Recon comes with a manual, foot-shift gearbox, while the Recon ES boasts electric, push-button Electric Shift Program (ESP).
• Reliable shaft drive needs no lubrication or adjustment.
• Easy electric starting, with a recoil starting system for backup.
• The Reverse mechanism is mounted on the handlebar's left side, with the parking brake. Both are simple to operate.

Chassis / Suspension

• Swingarm rear-suspension with a single shock.
• The steel front cargo rack can carry up to 33 pounds, while the steel rear rack has a payload of 66 pounds.
• High-grip floorboards keep debris away from the rider's feet.
• Durable, visible LED taillight and brake light.

A variety of Honda Accessories are available for Recon models, including Trailer Hitch Kit with Oil Temp Light.
