HONDA Pioneer™ 1000

When you know the power, you need is always at the ready, every drive is an enjoyable experience. That’s precisely what you get out of the class-leading 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin. Using the same Unicam® cylinder head design found in our motocross bikes, it’s more compact in size and it still delivers the kind of horsepower and torque you’d expect from a flagship model. Honda Programmed Fuel Injection features a 44mm throttle body that allows the fuel mapping to instantaneously adjust to any riding. To get the most out of your engine, you need the best air going into it. That’s why we positioned the air intake up high under the hood. It helps ensure a clean air supply, even at deeper fording depths, and with a new viscous air filter element, you get increased performance and longer service intervals. Designed to excel in off-road use, the viscous air-filter element does an excellent job of providing clean air to the engine under tough conditions, with greater air flow and longer service intervals. We positioned the air intake up high under the hood ensuring a clean air supply enabling increased performance and longer service intervals.

A High/Low dual-range sub transmission that delivers the power and helps access the traction you need and open or locked front and rear differentials that help prevent you from unnecessarily tearing up delicate fields or surfaces.

The brain of the DCT, Advanced Transmission Logic, senses how you drive and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts for a quieter ride at lower engine speeds. Sportier drivers will hold each gear longer for higher RPM shifts and when going downhill, you get true engine braking. Now that’s a smart transmission.

The towing capacity of the Pioneer 1000 is impressive, so much so, instead of hopping on the tractor or taking out the truck, you can stay right in your side-by-side and tackle those bigger jobs with relative ease.

By orienting the crankshaft front to back in the chassis, we route the flow of power straight to the wheels without any right-angle detours, reducing powertrain friction and putting more grunt to the ground. The rubber-mounted engine and exhaust system insulates annoying vibration.
