Powerful OHV Engine

At the heart of the TRX520FM6 is a proven 518cc single-cylinder four-stroke OHV engine. This powerful plant generates strong low-end and mid-range torque thanks to its programmed fuel injection system. The engine's liquid cooling and electric starting ensure reliable starts even in cold weather. With an emphasis on low-end grunt rather than high-end horsepower, the TRX520 is well suited for farm work, hunting, or trail riding.

Smooth Shifting Transmission

The five-speed transmission on the TRX520FM6 provides smooth gear changes across all types of terrain. There's also an optional automatic clutch version available for ease of operation. The TRX520 features Honda's traction control system that maintains grip over loose or slippery surfaces. This allows the ATV to keep moving forward even when traction is limited.

Independent Rear Suspension

For improved comfort and better handling, the TRX520FM6 utilizes a dual-arm independent rear suspension. This IRS system soaks up bumps and ruts while providing 6.9 inches of plush travel. The suspension soaked up rocks and ruts with aplomb while providing predictable cornering manners. Upfront, a double-wishbone setup provides 7.6 inches of travel for conquering rough terrain.

Strong Stopping Power

Bringing all that power to a halt are hydraulic disc brakes on all four wheels. The front discs measure 200mm for strong stopping power, while the sealed rear brakes resist dirt, debris and moisture. These brakes provide reliable braking whether hauling cargo or descending steep hills. Honda's refined braking system instills confidence for negotiating tricky terrain.

The TRX520 also has thick skid plates shielding the engine and transmission when traversing rocky terrain or downed trees.
