@carstartsounds: 2018 Honda Pioneer 500 –8°C / 17°F Engine: 475cc Liquid Cooled OHV Single Cylinder 4 Stroke Power: 29 HP @ 6,000 RPM Torque: 38 Nm @ 5,500 RPM Fuel System: Honda PGM-FI Electronic Fuel Injection Transmission: 5 Speed Automatic / Manual with Paddle Shifters Drivetrain: Selectable 2WD / 4WD Shaft Drive Weight: 464 kg 0–50 km/h: 6.5 sec Top Speed: 65 km/h Exhaust: Factory Exhaust with Spark Arrestor ——— About the vehicle: The Pioneer 500 takes a very different approach from most small side-by-sides: instead of using a belt-driven CVT, Honda gave it a genuine five-speed gearbox with an automatic clutch and the option to shift manually using steering-wheel-mounted paddles. Its 475cc fuel-injected single-cylinder engine produces around 29 HP, while the entire machine is only 50 inches wide and weighs just 464 kg, making it narrow enough for many ATV trails and compact enough to fit in the bed of a full-size pickup. This particular 2018 Pioneer had only 71 miles and 16.1 hours on it when the owner tested its cold-start ability at just 17°F / –8°C — and the PGM-FI system fired the single-cylinder engine without the carburetor drama common to older utility machines. ——— Which machine should be featured next?
