38 hp and 38 ft/ lbs crankshaft runs longitudinal so much more efficient than other engines ,suspension that has Sag so the ( IFS ) floats over trails . Total weight 650 lbs. This thing is so quiet that it lets you Think while riding. And finally the low gear issue is solved by the transmission torque converter which multiples the first gear and reverse. Pulling the front brakes when one wheel spins then the front end locks two Axls. Once you discover the bad rap is not justified, 😊.

Rockin 19300km on my 2012 Rincon and 770 engine hours and it’s still going strong

I have a 680 rincon and it has been the best bike I have ever had. I have tracks for it. It's a fantastic trail bike and I do pull alot of wood with it. I do not mud with it and it is in a heated shop. I lov the combination of things I can do with it. Yes, very reliable. I would buy another one but in canada they do not sell the 680 any more. You are very much correct that honda is bullshit when it comes to upgrading to a bigger bike. I don't get it? We all would be in line if they made something above the 850 point! I have found info on the new 700 coming out in canada and at this point honda has done nothing. It's bullshit, and that is coming from a honda fanatic. Keep making your videos and informing everyone. Why does honda keep underdeveloped like this? I just don't get it.

In canada it has been confired 3 speed, no transmission, no diff lock same old technology as the rincon but the plastics are now the same as the rubicon. Shame on honda. I will not be buying another honda at this point

W Honda 6x6 I’ve owned a 650 and still have a 06 680 BRGR and 28” backs this has got to be the biggest disappointment by far with Honda I’ve waited all these years just for them to give it a face lift and some bumpers that’s garbage asf but I do love how everyone downs the Ole Rinny so much 😅 it’s just not built for “Everybody” LOL ya better off with the ole 6x6 Hondas headed downward like a submarine ggs!

I hope it’s a 5 speed ts would rip it fit is

I was mad, because I own one and wanted to upgrade

it’s 675cc that’s only 25cc difference. It stills counts as a 700 right? -Honda engineers somewhere

I had a 06 rubicon 500 and it was junk if they go to the same transmission that the old rubicon I had it would have a hard time finding it’s gear it would have no start in gear feature witch means you can get stuck in gear and not be able to start it the three speed believe it or not is better because it doesn’t have a hard time finding it’s gear and has more sporty capability and actually it is good in the mud I’ve seen people play in the mud with them and they do walk pretty good I do hope the same transmission it has now does get a low range and five gears because the one my old rubicon had was junk I do hope they make a v twin version I think eventually they will they just need to modify the transmission it has with more gears and a low range but it does surprisingly good in the mud even without the low range it’s not much of a work machine though I would gladly buy one they are quite nice but if you want to play in mud with it just add some good tires and it will do surprisingly well it is a great bike it’ll be good for work or play if they just lower the gear ratios then it probably won’t need a low range as long as they don’t lower it too much it does now come with better tires and it’s still way cheaper than the rubicon 520 I’m still thinking about getting one eventually but by the time I’m ready they might have a 1000 with the same engine as the pioneer with a low range and a park gear and the same transmission as the pioneer and have a gated shifter or like I said modify the transmission it has so it’s not a crap transmission like the old rubicon did give Honda time they may be way behind the competition but I do think a 1000 is on the way hopefully soon and hopefully they offer it with a cheaper price than the competition then they will sell like hotcakes give them some time they will eventually make a 1000

I totally agree about Honda not upgrading things ever and not really releasing anything in 20 years cause my buddy has a Rincon 650 and it was barely any better than his 98 foreman the only things were the hondamatic and the selectable 4 wheel drive but other than that they did basically the same in the mud and the power difference wasn't really much to be desired

The rincon/700 rubicon still sucks. If they'd give it a 5 speed or high/low range with the 3 speed it'd fine. As is you are stuck with 25-26 inch stock like trail tires, with aggressive tires it'll just bog out with the tall gearing.

3:15 bingo

Honda is as innovative as arctic cat

👍🇨🇦

Xmr 700. Your welcome

Honda sucks. I had a brand new pioneer that was a piece of junk. Honda has been living on it's reputation for to long

Apparently honda does not have power stering and diff lock on this new 700???? Wtf. Honda needs to give there heads a shake. Who is leading honda. I understand about reliability up honda has dropped the ball and this coming from the greatest honda fan who has everything honda. I just dont get it?????
