2013 Honda 400x Review



Well I finally went out and bought myself a new quad. After doing my homework and seeing them in action, I went with the 2013 Honda TRX400x. I haven't had a lot of time on it yet, but the times I have been able to get out and rip on it have made me a believer. I wasn't a big fan of the pointy fenders at first, but they are growing on me. I like how Honda has made the fenders separate pieces instead of two big bulky pieces, this will make it nice if you happen to break a fender. You can now replace pieces of the fenders instead of buying a whole front or rear bumper. I love the fact that the quad has reverse, comes in real handy on trails. So far the quad seems to have plenty of power, and with all the mods available, you can get these things to hang with the 450's out there. The stock suspension seems to be a bit tight, but there are adjustments that can be made to help it ride to your individual liking. The headlight seems to be nice and bright with a high and low beam setting. The stock muffler is pretty quiet, so if you are looking to have your machine roar! you will need an aftermarket pipe. The only thing I would like to see on these quads would be a kick start, batteries and starters don't last forever. All in all, after about 4 hours of ride time, I would give the 400x 4 out of 5 stars (losing 1 star because of no kick start). Ride RED!
