2026 Honda® Rubicon 520 IRS EPS

The Honda TRX520 Rubicon IRS EPS ATV is a tough-as-nails performer built for dependability – whether it’s on the job or dom

But the Honda Rubicon 520 also offers much more than just iconic Honda durability and quality. This is an ATV designed to perform – its powerful, liquid-cooled 518 cc engine is longitudinally mounted, allowing direct driveshaft alignment to both the front and rear wheels for drivetrain efficiency when it counts.

Features may include:

Engine & Drivetrain
  • Maximum Efficiency

Powerful liquid-cooled 518 cc engine is longitudinally mounted, allowing direct driveshaft alignment to both the front and rear wheels for maximum drivetrain efficiency. Liquid cooling provides consistent engine operating temperature in extreme conditions for maximum power output and long engine life.

  • Broad Powerband

Overhead-valve design provides compact engine dimensions for improved ground clearance while maintaining a broad, easy-to-use powerband.

  • Reduced Vibration

Rubber-cushion engine mounting and gear-driven counter-balancer reduce vibration.

Chassis & Suspension
  • Strong and Lightweight

Durable double-cradle steel frame developed with Computer Aided Engineering is sturdy and lightweight for precise handling and a smoother ride.

  • Independent Rear Suspension, Excellent Handling

Double A-arm independent front suspension provides 185 mm (7.3 in.) of well-controlled travel, providing a sense of security and control over difficult terrain. Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) design with lower A-arm and upper I-arm features optimized stiffness for improved handling performance, and an ample 215 mm (8.5 in.) of travel. Durable wrap-around guards protect the rear suspension’s lower A-arms when rock crawling. Adjustable spring preload on all shocks allows suspension to be tuned to match varying loads and riding conditions.

  • Durable Comfort

Aggressively styled Maxxis tires provide excellent comfort and traction. Plastic CV joint boots on the front driveshafts are tough and tear-resistant with sealed steering-knuckle bearings for extended durability.
