The model listed here as the 2025 Honda FourTrax Rincon 680 is the 675cc automatic utility ATV Honda officially markets as the FourTrax Rubicon 700. The project retains its existing Rincon name and URL, but the mechanical idea is familiar: a liquid-cooled single making about 40 hp, selectable 2WD and 4WD, independent rear suspension and an automotive-style three-speed automatic. Its smooth geared transmission is the main attraction. The 848 lb tow rating, 9.4 inches of clearance and $9,799 price are less competitive. Our guide to reading ATV and UTV specs explains how those numbers affect the buying decision.
Naming: Rincon 680 to Rubicon 700
Honda’s official 2025 and 2026 brochures use the FourTrax Rubicon 700 name for the 675cc automatic model. The rounded 700 label describes the same displacement class historically associated with the Rincon 680 name. ATVPedia’s dataset and slug preserve the legacy name so existing links remain stable.
This is more than a casual nickname change, because Honda also updated styling and some published dimensions over time. The review therefore uses every numerical specification from ATVPedia’s 2025 entry while treating the newer Rubicon image as model-line context rather than evidence for unlisted equipment.
The liquid-cooled 675cc single-cylinder engine makes about 40 hp in the dataset. That is adequate for steady utility work and recreational trail use, but below the 48 hp Yamaha Grizzly 700 and Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi, as well as the 50 hp Kawasaki Brute Force 750.
The single favors predictable response over the stronger acceleration of a twin-cylinder performance ATV. It should feel appropriate at working speeds, though buyers regularly climbing long grades or carrying heavy loads may want more reserve.
Automotive-style automatic and 4WD
The three-speed automatic uses a hydraulic torque converter rather than a belt-driven CVT. That geared, automotive-style arrangement is the Honda’s defining feature and gives it a different operating character from most rivals.
Selectable 2WD and 4WD let the rider engage added traction when conditions deteriorate. The dataset does not list EPS or a locking front differential, so buyers requiring either feature should confirm the exact trim. The official Rubicon 700 model line evolved in these areas, but unlisted equipment should not be assumed for this entry.
Independent suspension and trail dimensions
Independent rear suspension helps each rear wheel respond to uneven terrain, supporting traction and rider comfort. The Honda weighs 684 lb and measures 48 inches wide with a 51.3-inch wheelbase.
Ground clearance is 9.4 inches. That matches the Kawasaki Brute Force 750 entry but falls below the 10.6 inches of the Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi and 11.8 inches of the Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS. The Honda’s 4.2-gallon fuel tank is also smaller than those three rivals.
Work capability
The 848 lb tow rating covers moderate property jobs and a carefully loaded trailer. It is substantially below the 1,250 lb Kawasaki rating and the 1,322 lb figures listed for the Yamaha and Suzuki.
That gap is difficult to overlook at this price. Trailer balance, tongue weight, terrain and braking distance matter before any ATV approaches its maximum. Buyers who tow frequently should prioritize the higher ratings rather than assume displacement alone determines capability.
Who it is for
This Honda suits riders who value a smooth geared automatic, independent suspension and measured utility performance. It can work well for property travel, hunting access and trail use where refinement matters more than leading horsepower.
It is less suitable for maximum towing, deep-rut clearance or shoppers seeking the strongest specification value. This is a single-seat ATV, and the rider should verify the exact model name and trim with the seller because Rincon and Rubicon naming may appear across listings.
How it compares
The Kawasaki Brute Force 750 4x4i EPS makes 50 hp and costs $10,199. It weighs 700 lb, matches the Honda’s 9.4-inch clearance and tows 1,250 lb. The Kawasaki costs $400 more but adds 10 hp, EPS, a differential lock and another 402 lb of towing. The Honda is lighter and offers its geared torque-converter automatic. Compare their specifications.
The Suzuki KingQuad 750AXi costs $9,749 and makes about 48 hp. It weighs 704 lb, has 10.6 inches of clearance and tows 1,322 lb. The Suzuki is $50 less and stronger on power, clearance and towing, while the Honda is 20 lb lighter and avoids a CVT. See the direct comparison.
The Yamaha Grizzly 700 EPS makes 48 hp and costs $10,499. It weighs 727 lb, provides 11.8 inches of clearance and tows 1,322 lb. The Yamaha adds EPS and a differential lock in the dataset, while the Honda saves $700 and 43 lb. Compare the Honda and Yamaha.
Where it sits in Honda’s lineup
The FourTrax Foreman Rubicon 520 costs $8,999 and makes about 32 hp. It also uses an automatic geared transmission and independent rear suspension, while matching the larger Honda’s 848 lb tow rating and 9.4-inch clearance. The 675cc model adds 8 hp and costs $800 more. Compare both Honda utility ATVs.
The decision is therefore less about towing or clearance and more about engine reserve and transmission preference. The smaller Rubicon 520 uses a five-speed DCT, while the 675cc model uses the three-speed torque-converter automatic.
Price and value
At $9,799, the Honda competes with utility ATVs that offer more power, more clearance, higher towing or standard EPS. Its justification is the distinctive geared automatic and relatively low 684 lb weight.
That value case depends heavily on transmission preference. Buyers comfortable with a CVT can find stronger headline specifications at a similar price.
Pros and cons
The good: smooth 675cc single, automotive-style three-speed automatic, selectable 2WD and 4WD, independent rear suspension and a relatively manageable 684 lb weight.
The catch: only 848 lb of towing, 9.4 inches of clearance and no listed EPS or differential lock. The legacy Rincon name can also create confusion because Honda officially uses Rubicon 700.
The verdict
The 2025 Honda FourTrax Rincon 680, officially represented in Honda’s lineup as the Rubicon 700, remains distinctive because of its torque-converter automatic. It offers smooth, direct utility operation without relying on a CVT.
Its specifications do not dominate the class. Rivals tow more, make more power or include additional drivetrain equipment for similar money. Choose the Honda for its transmission and composed character, not because it wins the numbers. Add it to the comparison tool, or browse the full database by power, towing and price.
