Separate rear frame utilises the final-drive gear case as a stressed member, reducing overall vehicle weight.
The TRX680’s steering mechanism design provides light steering effort combined with a tight turning radius of 3.3 metres.
Independent double-wishbone front suspension uses premium shock absorbers to provide 175mm of suspension travel for a plush, comfortable ride.
Honda’s independent rear suspension uses a double-wishbone design and features forged aluminium knuckles and upper/lower A-arms to substantially reduce unsprung weight. Rear knuckle pivots use lightweight metal bushings in place of conventional ball joints and radius arms, eliminating toe-in as the rear suspension travels through its stroke. This simple design maintains rear wheel alignment and further reduces unsprung weight, contributing to responsive overall handling.
Lightweight single-tube gas-charged rear shocks and an anti-sway bar provide plush, well-controlled damping throughout the TRX680’s exceptional 203mm of wheel travel.
New dual front disc brake callipers feature a patented built-in scraper system to remove mud and snow from inside the front wheel to help prevent build-up of debris between calliper and rim to ensure consistent braking performance.
Brake pads feature thick, long-wear material with improved mud durability, feel and control. Pads feature internal scraper that gives audible warning when pad life is low.
A centrally located rear hydraulic disc brake and self-adjusting mechanical rear parking brake are mounted on the rear drive-shaft, further reducing unsprung weight and contributing to the TRX680’s considerable ground clearance.
SUV-type radial tyres provide a smooth ride and exceptional handling. Tough, large diameter 25 x 8–12 front tyres and 25 x 10–12 rear tyres provide added ground clearance.
Attractive SUV-style large-diameter 12 inch cast aluminium wheels further reduce unsprung weight and contribute to superb handling.
