Honda Pioneer 520 SxS

Sized Right and Loaded With Features. The Honda Pioneer 520 is all about striking the right balance – between compact size and functionality, between power and versatility. It’s tough but nimble, and always ready to deliver.

Features may include:

Engine & Drivetrain
  • Reliable Power

The 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 engine

The 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 clearance

By 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 terrain

Shiftable 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.

Chassis & Suspension
  • Durable construction

A 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 & Control

The independent front and rear suspension systems provide comfort and control over even tough terrain. Plus, the absence of a rear swaybar makes for an even smoother ride.

  • Dynamic Handling

With 147 mm (5.8 in.) of front suspension travel and 150 mm (5.9 in.) at the rear, plus 217 mm (8.5 in.) of ground clearance, the Pioneer 520 can negotiate difficult terrain with ease.

  • Roomy seating

Roomy cab and bench seat are 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.
