Honda Rubicon 520 In-Depth Review - Hitting the Trails and Making New Ones with a Honda ATV

We put the 2022 Honda Foreman Rubicon 4x4 Auto DCT EPS Deluxe to the test in this video. A dual-clutch automatic transmission sets this ATV apart from its rivals, but does it make it better or worse? Let's find out more about this Honda ATV.

I'd love to see someone do a long term review on this machine with some actual hours on it. I bought mine, identical to this in june '22. The second machine I'd purchased from a super knowledgeable dealer who told me its ok now when new, but will be a different machine at 100-120 hrs. He wasnt wrong. The shifts are seamless. Engine smoother with a better mid range power curve, and out handles bigger machines all day. Put a good set of tires on them and drive them hard and long. Thats the only way to own a honda. If you only plan to put a couple hours on them, you wont get the butter smooth shifts. Theyre meant for long term with no problems. Mine has been bullet proof, just take care of it.

Love the Honda Rubicon Deluxe. I bought a new 2022 last year. Honda is the best for long-term!!! My profile pic is showing a Honda Rincon which I gave to my son in law, just before I picked up the new ATV. You can't beat a Honda!!!

I love Honda because it is reliable. I am thinking of the Rubicon lately and I have a 2013 rancher 420 4x4.

Thanks for reviewing ATV's; pretty rare these days. Most of the focus is on SXS's.

After stopping at a dealer today. I believe I'm sold on the Rubicon. Thanks for the review.

Nice review. Loving my ‘21 Rubicon Deluxe. It’s been great for work around the house, especially snow plowing.

Hard to believe in 2019 I bought a Honda Pioneer 700-4 with a 12, 700 price tag. And now a smallish ATV cost almost as much.

I have a 21 Rubicon DCT and love it. It's great for work and trail riding. It's not great for running logging roads, it's just too slow. The new reverse switch is awesome. I don't think it skips neutral in the gear box. I think it just actuates through neutral down to reverse for you. When I use it you can hear it switch through two gears. I've been a little too quick on the throttle and stalled it out whike it was making the second gear change. Thanks for the video. Really apreciate you guys covering honda products. Other channels are brand sponsored and keep making bias reviews and then saying they aren't bias. Hahhahaha

Another great no BS review! You clearly and specifically target the question of buying a Honda: is the reliability worth the mark up? The answer is "Yes, if what you want is a competent machine that works hard, but won't win any sprint races. You may, however win the hyper-marathon".
Edit: grammar

I have same machine. Climbing beast. Havent needed a winch yet.

[jasongilliland]

I got one and love it so much that I got a second one on the way

[LifeWideOpen]

Honestly better reviews than dirttraxxx

I bought 2 of the deluxe rubicons in June. Great machines. Rides great, but the engine really is revving high in 5th gear at 35mph. I still have an ‘01 and ‘02 rubicon that I bought new 20 years ago. Still running great. 8k miles on both. Only batteries and oil changes. That’s it. The old machines are faster by 3 lengths up to 40mph. The new ones fall on their face and the old ones just keep going to nearly 60 mph.

Really. Considering purchasing a new 4 Wheeler and Honda is number one on my list... And from one fellow youtuber To the next what a good well produced video.

[liamrobinson]

This makes three good reviews of some good machines. Perhaps you could do some sort of cross-comparison using the footage these videos to evaluate them vs the existing atv you already own. For me the question is largely whether buying new or used is more worthwhile. If there is no change in a model for several years, is it worth getting a new one? Or do they hold value so well that an old one is too expensive? Do any of these machines work so well that they justify replacing your own functional older atv, whatever the brand? Go deep into that Elmer expertise for us! That would make this channel even better!

HAPPY THURSDAY...HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE ✌️

[powersportsenthusiast]

they should update the rincon.. make its engine a little more exciting, give it diff lock and power steering and if possible, use this chassis even and that would wake a lot of honda fan boys up. if its good enough, id be looking too.

[thegreenman]

I’m still riding an 05 Rancher ES 350 so this Rubicon 520 would be a huge all around upgrade for me. Maybe when this one dies, but it’s a Honda so it’s probably never going to happen.

[atvseatexchange]

What happened to Honda's 650 and 680? The 680 was still listed in 2021. Keep up the good work.

[duanesnow]

Ive had 2 of these but switched to the grizzly. Much softer ride on the Yamaha. I wonder how the suzuki 750 kingquad compares??
