2012 Honda FourTrax Recon TRX250TM Review

Big where you need it, not where you don't.

Since the inception of this classy mid-sized ATV, thousands upon thousands of riders have made the Honda FourTrax® Recon® a best seller, and that's just the way it should be. A remarkably torquey 229cc OHV engine pumps out delightful levels of performance, while its middleweight size enhances its agile handling traits. With the option of a manual gearbox or Honda's push-button Electric Shift Program (ESP®) the FourTrax Recon continues to deliver just-right performance that gets the job done seven days a week.

You don't need a sledgehammer to hang a picture, and that same philosophy applies to ATVs. So we built the Recon, a powerful ATV with a smaller footprint. Equipped with a 250cc-class engine, this 2WD workhorse delivers seamless, reliable power right when you need it. Its compact size helps you tackle those tighter trails some larger ATVs may struggle with. And it’s even available in two different models: with our conventional foot-shift transmission, or the Recon ES with Honda’s Electric Shift Program (ESP), allowing you to thumb-shift using two handlebar buttons. So if you’re looking for a hard-working, hard-playing ATV with a smaller stature, look no further than the Recon.

Important Safety Information
Recommended for riders 16 years of age and older. Honda recommends that all ATV riders take a training course and read their owner’s manual thoroughly.

2012 Honda FourTrax Recon TRX250TM Features and Benefits:
- Compact, 420cc OHV semi-dry-sump engine
- Fuel Injection delivers crisp, seamless performance
- 5-speed semi-automatic transmission available in manual or electric shift (ESP)

New for 2012
- New Black front skid plate on Olive and Red models.
- New Black wheels on Olive models.

Push-button shifting.
The Recon ES features Honda’s Electric Shift Program, allowing you to easily up- and down-shift with your thumb using two buttons conveniently located on the handlebars.

A head start.
With the press of a button, Recon is up and running, thanks to an effortless electric start. But that’s not the only way to get going, as the Recon also has an auxiliary recoil starter.


Pump-friendly power.
We designed the Recon’s 229cc engine with an overhead valve, keeping it lightweight and compact, while also delivering plenty of power and high fuel economy.


Big on innovations, not on size.
Like all Honda utility ATVs, the Recon features a strong, longitudinal single-cylinder engine, for a lower center of gravity and reduced friction. It also uses shaft final drive, for mile after mile of reliable, trouble-free operation. Because the Recon is an agile 2-wheel-drive model, light steering and nearly effortless handling are standard equipment. Yes, the Recon is light and compact. But its eager engine makes it surprisingly strong in performance—just what you’d expect from a Honda.

2012 Honda FourTrax Recon 4x4 Options & Pricing:
Built tough and reliable like all Honda ATVs, the Recon boasts full-sized performance in a compact, lighter-weight package featuring electric starting and slick, Rincon-esque styling. Are you the traditional type? Go for the manual-shift model. Looking for a little more convenience? Then opt for the Recon ES with Honda's push-button Electric Shift Program (ESP), which puts gear selection right at your thumb-tip. Whichever Recon you choose, rest assured you can't go wrong.
