2025 HONDA Pioneer 520Work smarter, roam furtherThe Pioneer 520 is the Swiss Army knife of side-by-sides, combining compact agility with a mighty 518cc engine. With a 50-inch width, this mini powerhouse effortlessly navigates narrow trails, while a strut-assist tilt/dump bed, seating for two, and 1000-pound towing capacity underscore its versatility and reliability.Powerful 518cc engineThe 518cc engine is optimized for low-rpm torque and has electronic fuel injection for better running in cold weather and at high altitudes. The five-speed automatic transmission provides ample pulling power.Closed-loop fuel injectionBetter cold-weather and high-altitude running, effortless startups, great fuel efficiency, and less pollutionthats what the closed loop fuel injection system means for you. Talk about a win-win.Powerful front and rear disc brakesDisc brakes just plain make sense on a modern side-by-side, and thats why we use them front and rear. They stop better, run cooler, resist debris, and are easier to maintain..Compact 50-inch width and TraxLok 2WD/4WDThe 50-inch width is perfect for narrow trails and easy storage, fitting in most full-sized pickup trucks. The TraxLok system lets you choose between 2WD or 4WD, optimizing for the conditions and terrain to give lighter steering or maximum traction.Dual-rate springsDual-rate springs offer a smoother ride over small bumps, better resistance to bottoming on big bumps, and a more confident steering feel.Plush rideWith generous suspension travel and ground clearance, the compact SxS can easily negotiate rough trails. Weve also tuned the suspension to give you a smooth, plush ride around the farm.Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)Fully independent rear suspension means a smooth ride, especially over rough terrain.Automatic transmission with AT/MT modeYou can let the automatic transmission shift for you or shift yourself with its paddles. You can even shift from auto to manual (AT to MT) on the fly!Strong gearboxUnlike the belt-drive automatics, our AT/MT mode transmission uses rugged steel gears for superior controllability and long transmission life, especially when descending hills.Smooth-shiftingOur purpose-built engine is paired with special transmission shift mapping for smooth shifts and seamless torque, creating a better overall riding experience.Paddle shiftersIf you want to shift manually, you can upshift and downshift without ever taking your hands off the wheel. You can choose the exact gear you want, and its engineered for precise, smooth shifts.Liquid coolingOur time-tested Honda engine is liquid-cooled, providing more consistent operating temperatures and power than a comparable air-cooled motor. This results in better performance and longer engine life.Longitudinal engine mountingOur chassis is designed so the powerful 518cc engine sits longitudinally. By placing the crankshaft in a front-to-back orientation, we can deliver power directly to the wheels without any unnecessary detours, increasing overall performance.Semi-dry-sump engineThe overhead-valve, semi-dry-sump design creates a compact and lighter engine that boosts handling capabilities with a low center of gravity and favorable ground clearance.Driver/passenger protectionThis vehicle prioritizes safety with its Occupant Protection Structure that meets ISO's rollover protection standard, integrated handholds, recessed top tubes, and hard doors with side nets to keep the cabin secure. Automotive-style three-point seat belts keep everyone safe.Single-function door/netDoors are standard, and the occupant net is directly attached. Unlock the door, and the net swings aside for easier entry and exit.Tilt/dump bedThe tilt/dump bed measures 38.7 x 25.9 x 9.8 and can carry up to 450 pounds. The assist strut makes dumping easy, and the bed accepts a host of Pro-Connect system accessories.1000-pound towing capacityA heavy-duty receiver-style hitch features a 1000-pound towing capacity.Towing and haulingThis side-by-side vehicle is useful and has a lot to offer.
