Honda’s Rincon Passes Tough Test
Feb 9, 2006, 15:40

TRX680FA
The 2006 release of Honda’s top of the line work horse – the TRX680FA - is now available and offers a host of refinements and upgrades that are guaranteed to make it the most attractive option in its class on the market today.

As a testament to its reliability, one need look only so far as the exploits of New South Welshman, Ken Tuckey who recently completed a six month journey around Australia aboard a 2005 Rincon in the name of children’s charity and education.

In addition to raising over $30,000 for children’s cancer research, Ken completed in excess of 15,000 kilometres on the bike.

“It never missed a beat,” according to the 67 year old adventurer.

“I had to perform only routine maintenance along the way for the entirety of the trip and it handled whatever conditions I threw at it.”

In fact, Ken was so impressed with the bike that he has arranged to keep it whilst continuing to assist Honda with spreading the “Stupid Hurts” message to children – a campaign aimed at increasing rider safety through the use of proper gear and adequate rider training.

The latest upgrades to the Rincon, coupled with a fantastic new recommended retail price of $14,490, mean that land owners looking to purchase Australia’s most reliable 4-wheeler will benefit like never before.

The ground-breaking TRX680FA Rincon is the world's most comfortable full-size 4-wheeler and is feature-laden with a fully automatic transmission, TraxLok selectable 2WD/ 4WD, a torque-sensing front differential and fully independent front and rear suspension, plus a number of new features for 2006 including:


  • New larger 675cc engine for increased power
  • New 40mm fuel injection system for consistent performance at high altitude, improved cold weather starting, improved fuel consumption and increased power.
  • New dual front disc brakes feature calipers with patented built-in scraper for improved braking performance in all conditions.
  • New brake pads feature thick, long-wear material with improved mud durability, feel and control. Pads feature internal scraper that give audible warning when pad life is low.
  • Washable air filter for easy maintenance and consistent performance
  • New low-fuel warning light
  • New 18-amp battery for increased performance
  • New rear shock valving for improved ride
  • New exhaust to maintain quiet performance
