Design & Features
Bold Body Style
The Rubicon DCT Deluxe has been designed as such to maximize both aggressive style and protectie features. Its all-steel full-sized bumper easily wraps around the headlights, doing double duty as protection and as a rugged style feature. This bodywork not only fits the part of a stylish ATV but protects against mud and debris as well.
Deluxe Features
This Rubicon Deluxe model adds some extra features not found on the lower level Rubicon models. These include:
- Lightweight aluminum wheels
- Silver-painted shock springs & suspension arms
- Mat Bliss Blue Metallic colour with graphics
Comfort Features
You need an ATV that’s comfortable all day long, no matter if it’s a day of fun and adventuring or a long day on the farm. Our Honda designers know this, that’s why the seats are bigger and thicker than most typical models. Even beyond that density is a textured seat cover that stays cool on hot days, and keeps you more secure on the seat.
Instrumentation Features
The instrumentation display gives you all your needed info at a glance, found in a modern style that seamlessly fits in with the exterior of the ATV. Features included on the full-function dash instrumentation include:
- Speed
- Odometer
- Trip meter
- Fuel guage
- Coolant temperature
- Clock
- Gear position indicator
- 4WD indicator
- Maintenance Minder
Engine Performance
Powerful Engine
The 518cc engine in the DCT Deluxe Rubicon is both powerful and efficient. Its liquid cooling means it can maintain a consistent engine temperature, even when the conditions get tough, which is sure to be music to the ears of our drivers here in Alberta. Even its position has been fine-tuned with an overhead-valve design that keeps it compact and improves ground clearance all at once.
Efficient Operation
The automatic internal-decompression system provides a quick start for the quad and even has a recoil starter for backup. When you do get going, you’ll drive quietly thanks to the sub-chamber in the air cleaner and the stainless steel exhaust system that keeps your engine noises minimal.
High-Quality Drivability
An ATV should always be fun to drive, and the Rubicon takes this to heart with a super heavy-duty automatic clutch with a low RPM engagement that allows for a smooth ride and ease of use when towing.
Drive Modes for Any Terrain
What good is an ATV if it can’t tackle any terrain ahead, and the 3 drive modes found on this Rubicon ensures it can attack the conditions in front of you. These 3 drive modes are:
- 2WD
- 4WD, with torque-sensing front differential
- 4WD, with locked front differential
Chassis & Suspension
Strong & Lightweight Frame
Computer-Aided Engineering was used to help create the double-cradle steel frame that makes the framework for the Rubicon deluxe. This all adds up to durable construction, which still stays lightweight for a smooth and agile ride.
Front & Rear Suspension
The Double A-arm independent front suspension travels well and offers up comfortable peace of mind no matter the type of terrain you’re on. The Independent Rear Suspension has a lower A-arm and upper I-arm to help improve your handling ability. Your suspension can be adjusted to match your environment thanks to the adjustable spring preload on the shocks.
Stop in an Instant
Terrific stopping power is brought forth by the dual front hydraulic disc brakes with large 190 mm rotors. The brake calipers feature a scraper system that prevents debris like mud and snow from building up and causing damage and keeps the brakes able to perform at their potential.
Electric Power Steering System
Honda’s Electric Power Steering System is a mainstay and even better on the Deluxe Rubicon in its latest version, with a reduced kickback and lighter steering effort so you can feel in control and be comfortable at the same time.
