Actual Canadian production model(s) may vary.Features may include:Reliable PowerThe Pioneer 520’s liquid-cooled engine provides plenty of torque and horsepower to make tough jobs or tough trails easy to handle. And because it’s built by Honda, you know you can depend on it to be rock-solid reliable.Efficient EngineThe Pioneer 520’s liquid-cooled engine is mounted longitudinally. By orienting the crankshaft front to back in the chassis, the flow of power is straight to the wheels without any right angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground.Ample Ground ClearanceBy using an overhead-valve layout and a semi-dry-sump lubrication system, engine height is significantly reduced, lowering centre of gravity while also improving ground clearance.Tackle Any TerrainShiftable 2WD/4WD system provides the efficiency of two-wheel drive while retaining the ability to select 4WD quickly via a dash-mounted lever when conditions demand.Advanced TransmissionThe availability of both automatic and manual shifting functions gives you the best of both worlds. Choose AT mode for fully automatic shifting, or override the AT settings on the fly with paddle shifters mounted on the steering wheel. Want to shift manually? Simply choose MT mode and operate the five speed transmission manually with the paddle shifters. It’s the best of all worlds.Smooth ShiftingBy re-tuning the transmission’s automatic-mode shift map, and revising gear ratios, engineers were able to make the Pioneer 520 a smooth operator, even in tough conditions.Fuel InjectionThe electronic fuel-injection system provides crisp performance and helps ensure trouble-free starting and operation in cold conditions and changing altitudes.Low NoiseThe stainless steel exhaust system keeps noise levels low while also including a certified spark arrester for when you’re riding in regulated or sensitive environments.Durable ConstructionA strong steel chassis is designed to help the Pioneer 520 remain stable in rough going, and its heavy-duty construction will help it stand up to rough punishment on the job site or recreational trail. New front and rear skid plates and other improvements to debris shielding keep you and your Pioneer even better protected.Comfort & ControlThe independent front and rear suspension systems provide comfort and control, even over tough terrain. Plus, the absence of a rear swaybar makes for an even smoother ride.Dynamic HandlingWith 147 mm (5.8 in.) of front suspension travel and 150 mm (5.9 in.) at the rear, plus 220 mm (8.7 in.) of ground clearance, the Pioneer 520 can negotiate difficult terrain with ease.Roomy SeatingA roomy cab and bench seat were designed for a comfortable fit for two. Twin cup holders make it easier to stay hydrated when stopping for a rest out on the trails or work site.Towing AbilityHeavy-duty receiver-style hitch lets you tow up to 453 kg (1,000 lb). Plus tax and license.
