Take on tough jobs, tight trails, and everyday utility tasks with confidence aboard the 2026 Honda FourTrax Recon® ES TRX250TET. Built with Honda’s legendary reputation for durability and long-lasting performance, the Recon ES is a compact utility ATV designed to deliver maximum versatility in a lightweight, easy-to-handle package. Whether you're maintaining property, exploring trails, or handling chores around the ranch, this machine is engineered to keep up without hesitation.

At the heart of the Recon ES is a reliable 229cc air-cooled, longitudinally mounted single-cylinder four-stroke engine, delivering smooth, predictable power with excellent low-end torque. This proven engine design is built for efficiency and durability, making it ideal for both work and recreation. Paired with Honda’s low-maintenance shaft drive system, the Recon ES reduces upkeep demands while providing consistent, dependable performance in all conditions.

One of the standout features of the Recon ES is Honda’s Electric Shift Program (ESP®). This system eliminates the need for a manual clutch or foot shifter—simply use the handlebar-mounted buttons to shift through the semi-automatic five-speed transmission with ease. Whether you’re navigating narrow trails, climbing uneven terrain, or working in tight spaces, shifting is smooth, intuitive, and effortless. Reverse is just as simple, giving you added control when maneuvering in confined areas.

The Recon ES is engineered for stability and comfort with an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a rear swingarm with a single shock setup. This suspension combination helps absorb bumps and rough terrain while maintaining rider comfort and control. Its compact chassis and tight turning radius make it especially capable in wooded trails, fenced properties, and other confined environments where larger ATVs struggle.

Practicality is built into every detail. Rugged steel front and rear cargo racks provide dependable hauling capability for tools, gear, hunting equipment, or supplies. Durable floorboards, a comfortable seat, and electric start add convenience, while Honda’s attention to quality ensures this ATV is ready for years of dependable use.

When you choose the 2026 Honda FourTrax Recon® ES TRX250TET from Monarch Honda, you’re also backed by confidence from the start. This model includes a transferable, limited factory warranty with one year of coverage included, giving you added peace of mind on and off the trail.

If you’re looking for a dependable, easy-to-ride utility ATV that blends simplicity, strength, and Honda reliability, the Recon ES is ready for the job.
