2013 Honda® Big Red Base

2013 Honda® Big Red

Sure, there are lots of MUVs on the trails today. But there's only one Honda® Big Red®, and nothing’s tougher. When you take a closer look at the features Big Red® offers and how Big Red®’s built, you’ll see that it’s your best bet in the side-by-side market.

First of all, Big Red® offers a proven Honda® engine, automotive-style Honda® Automatic Transmission with hydraulic torque converter, and independent suspension on all four wheels. In addition, Big Red® sets the standard when it comes to rider safety with a specially designed brake system, Occupant Protection Structure, and double-latching side doors. A bench seat is wide and comfortable, while a generous cargo bed, plenty of towing capacity, high-traction Maxxis Big Horn tires and much, much more all come together to help you tackle tough jobs or tough terrain.

Everywhere you look, there’s another feature that sets Honda®’s Big Red® apart. Of course the 675cc liquid-cooled engine, Honda® Automatic Transmission, 2WD/4WD drivetrain and independent suspension all around are great places to start. But how about all the safety features, or the increased capacity this year, or the upgraded driver and passenger accommodations, or . . . well, you’re beginning to get the picture. Just click on some of the highlights shown here.

Big Red®’s transmission isn’t just another automatic—Big Red® features the Honda® automatic, the industry’s only true automotive-style automatic with a heavy-duty torque converter.

With Big Red®, we’ve made a commitment to safety, just what you’d expect from Honda®. An innovative balanced braking system that ensures front and rear braking even in the event that one brake line fails, automotive-type three-point Emergency Locking Retractor seatbelts, occupant protection structure, a wide-track chassis design, and much more—it’s all part of Big Red®’s overall design.

Big Red® even offers a generous cargo bed with a full 1000-pound capacity. And if that's not enough, the towing capacity is an even bigger 1500 pounds. Big Red®’s ready to work harder than ever!

Naturally, we gave Big Red® the best brakes in the business: hydraulic discs on all four wheels. A patented scraper system helps prevent debris buildup between caliper and rim, and best of all the balanced, automotive design features two separate braking circuits, which helps ensure front and rear braking even if one brake line is damaged.
