Wonderful sunny day ride, my friends! I've had difficulty with getting voice audio since I switched to the Hero 7. I love the stability, but the audio is less than workable.
Thanks! Yeah, I have heard of people having problems with the Hero 7 a lot lately. That’s a shame that this far along in the game that GoPro hasn’t figured out how to record the audio correctly especially as expensive as the cameras are. Thanks for watching!
My dad had to take his 300 into shop, so for now it’s just me and my 02 recon. When we dropped it off I thought to myself, “wonder if we should get a 420 like Palomino” haha
Those 300’s are classics! As a kid I rode a friends 300 FourTrax. The 420 is an awesome machine, they are reliable, comfortable and fun to ride. Thanks for watching!
What trailhead did y’all start on? Headed down this weekend and looking for a good starting point. Been looking online and sadly nobody really does any good explanation of best routes or starting points. Park service websites are exactly what you expect, little information about the trails themselves, just the rules and it looks like they designed the website on windows 95.
@@Palomino488 we ended up starting from Dutch John. Made the loop and then went up Daniel to the peak from the “easy” side. Watched some sxs and rock crawlers climbing to the summit. It was a good time but you two were right, the up and down of those trails was exhausting. Gonna have to come up y’all’s way and explore South Pedlar. Btw, y’all’s videos are fantastic. Keep them coming!
First off I will say you can't go wrong with either model. However, I will say this if I was shopping for one of these two models I would pick the Rancher. 2020 Rancher 2x4 Base model $5,499 2020 Recon Base model $4,299 2020 Rancher 2x4 ES model $5,799 2020 Recon ES model $4,549 I just looked up these prices to help show you the difference between prices of two models and keep in mind the Rancher has way more models in its lineup. HondaPowersports.com will show you everything in the lineup with specs. The Rancher has a 420cc engine that is fuel injected and liquid cooled as opposed to the Recon has a 229cc engine that is carbureted and air cooled with a oil cooler w/ no fan. The Rancher has more low end torque than the Recon engine. However the Recon has decent power for an average sized rider. A really heavy person or tall person would be more comfortable on the Rancher. The Rancher has a more comfortable seat and more plush suspension than the Recon. The Rancher has more ground clearance than the Recon also. If you are planning to do any real work with an atv I'd lean towards the Rancher because it has the larger engine and the racks hold more weight. I know you say you don't think you need or would ever need 4x4, but I honestly would recommend getting it if you have the option to do so on a model like the Rancher. I hardly use the 4x4 on my Rancher, but when I do use it I'm very glad I have it. Sometimes you might run into something like a slick hillside of clay or etc and you'll be glad you have 4x4 for the extra traction. Also keep in mind if you get 4x4 on the Rancher you have the option also for Electric Power Steering. Even if you are a strong person and don't think you need EPS the anti-kickback benefit of the EPS is worth the extra money. I had a 2006 Honda Rancher ES 2x4 before I bought this 2012 Rancher 4x4 DCT IRS EPS and loved it, but now that I have my first atv with 4x4, automatic transmission, EPS, fuel injection, and IRS I honestly have learned to appreciate the comfort and capability that the 2012 Rancher has to offer. I hope this helps you with your decision.

Thanks for the reply! My aunt has a 2014 recon green foot shift and it is a fun trail bike I’ve also ridden a buddies 2013 foreman 500 4x4 but it felt way to big and bulky! It was a solid axle es model with manual steering. I am 6’2” 220 pounds and wasn’t too crammed on the recon I’ve never ridden a rancher but I think it would be the perfect size. I would like to stay Honda
Josh Robinson go for the foot shift either recon or rancher. My dad has a 2006 rancher 350ES and its had lotta problems that a foot shift would never have had. It’s costly to repair... but i did get a 2020 Rubicon DCT last year lol so whatever floats your boat haha
Love your videos sir. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! Appreciate you watching

Good video. I'm in the market for a quad and can't help but think the recon is all the bike I "need".
It's always good to see your videos :)

I know what you mean. When we would go we would either start from the Dutch John Trailhead or the Falls Dam Trailhead. It just depends on the crowd.

Palomino488 I always enjoy watching your ATV footage
Can you give me a good comparison between the two machines? I’m debating between the two don’t really think I’ll ever use 4x4 thanks
