approach, they wanted to match or exceed the competition in all of the important areas, and that’s exactly what the Pioneer 1000 does:
Engine
Honda technicians have proven time and again that there’s simply no one better at developing engines, and their full expertise was called upon for the Pioneer 1000’s all-new, purpose-built side-by-side power plant. The result is an engine that’s head-and-shoulders above anything else on the market, serving as a reminder that there’s a reason behind the manufacturer’s name: Honda Motor Company.
- 999cc—the most displacement in the industry.
- Big power and torque: able to haul 1,000 pounds (600 pounds for California models) and tow an amazing 2,000 pounds—that’s one ton!
- Unicam design like that of Honda’s legendary CRF motocross models—achieves high performance while simultaneously minimizing weight and bulk.
- High-tech “roller rockers” have a roller that contacts the cam, greatly reducing friction and wear compared to standard rocker arms.
- Longitudinal engine mounting eliminates unnecessary right angles in the driveline, ensuring an efficient transfer of power to the ground.
- Engine and exhaust system are rubber-mounted to reduce vibration and noise.
- To help the engine meet Honda’s unmatched reliability standards, the air inlet is positioned high under the hood, resulting in a clean supply of air and excellent clearance for water fording. The air-cleaner element is a viscous paper type, for exceptional filtration and a long service life.
Pioneer 1000 Engine Performance Numbers / Details:
- 2016 Pioneer 1000 Horsepower: 72 HP
- Pioneer 1000 Top Speed: 67 MPH via Electronic Speed Limiter
When Honda engineers set out to develop an open-class multipurpose side-by-side, they weren’t interested in offering a me-too model. Using Honda’s signature total approach, they wanted to match or exceed the competition in all of the important areas, and that’s exactly what the Pioneer 1000 does:
