Honda’s two-person and four-person 2014 Pioneer 700 and
Pioneer 700-4 models commence a new
assembly of side-by-side off-road machines in the Honda lineup. The Pioneer
machines were designed by Honda
Research and Development in Ohio and built at Honda South Carolina, to
gratify the needs of off-road aficionados. The new Pioneer models supersede the
esteemed Big Red and head the excitement for future Pioneer models.
The Pioneer 700 and Pioneer 700-4 fall into the steadily
growing multipurpose side-by-side category and easily outstand neighboring
competitor’s quality and value with the Pioneer 700 starting at $9,999 and
Pioneer 700-4 at $11,699.
Honda’s development of the Pioneer models are powered by
an all-new chassis built around the 700cc-class liquid-cooled OHV
single-cylinder four-stroke engine with a distinctive automotive-style
automatic transmission and integrated doors and headrests. The new chassis and
design features a long-travel suspension configuration for a leveled ride over
hard-hitting landscape, so riders can carry and tow heavy loads without
apprehension.
The Pioneer 700-4 includes a load carrying bed and
convertible seating arrangement that can be swiftly and easily transformed from
a two-seat to three- or four-seat arrangement without using tools.
Depending on the carrying needs, the two rear seats lift
from the bed by releasing the latch and locks into place, switching to a three
or four seating arrangement with three-point seat belts available from above on
the Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS).
Both Pioneer models are built with a sturdy steel frame
and a wheelbase slight longer than the Big Red’s –76.8” vs. 75.7”- however the
total length and width have been slightly reduced, making the Pioneer models
more efficient with a 14.8” turning radius and 10.3” ground clearance.
The new Pioneer additions distribute relaxed and
coordinated double-wishbone independent front suspension system with 7.9” of
travel and double-wishbone independent rear suspension system with 9.1” of
travel with twin rear shocks adjustable for preload, creating exceptional
off-road, carrying capabilities. The 2014 Pioneer models have new front tires
sized at 35 x 8-12 for improved and responsive steering. Riders and passengers
will also experience noticeably less engine vibration and an even ride with the
innovative engine-mounting subframe and vibration-isolating bushings that
better control the steering wheel, handholds, floor, seat bottom, and seat backs.
A dual shift-mapping program is new to Honda’s Pioneer
models, which automatically selects the Cruise or Sport transmission-shifting
mode depending on the driver’s repetition of throttle operation. The Sport mode
initiates and holds the transmission in gear longer before shifting to supply
uncompromising performance when required.
The Cruise mode permits the transmission to shift up earlier for
prolonged limits and casual performance.
The 2014 Pioneer models feature full-time 2WD to transfer
the power into enhanced, terrain-grabbing traction. A new rear-wheel drive now
integrates a non-differential rear end, delivering excellent drive features
including a 4WD gearshift selector for rough areas and a front differential
lock for maximum pull. The Pioneer’s tilt-bed is rated for a massive 1000-pound
hauling capacity and a remarkable 1500-pound towing capacity, and includes
multiple D-rings on the cargo’s wall and bed for accessible tie-down points.
Honda’s Pioneer models have over 50 genuine and signature
accessories, allowing owners to deck out their new Pioneer for individualized
needs. The innovative Pioneer models embrace Honda’s unparalleled quality, and
cater to the various demands of off-road recreational riders, hunters, outdoor
families, job site employees, and everyone in between.
