Maybe Honda is planning on using the new Transalp 750 engine and upgrade the Pioneer 700 line with a DCT.
Well, now they'll be like everyone else, pricing themselves out of much of the market. I do hope they come out with and cab that is more are tight. At least enough that the heater will work when driving 25 mph. When in the heck is the release date?!!! I'd think about updating if the cab is a lot better. I don't need air because I'm in and out and short trip to much but in the winter it's different. I want heat. I'm a wussy, can't help it.
It will have a cabin air filter, just another $53 part to add to the service list. 🙃An AC system won't last if it's ingesting grime. I can't imagine they would bring something to market without doing so.
You are correct. Id say 75% of our no AC calls are from them being dirty, coils, condenser coils and such. I can only imagine how quick this is gonna happen on a dusty or muddy trails. I cant wait for new threads of….An AC system won't last if it's ingesting grime. I can't imagine they would bring something to market without doing so.
Must not have been much in the Redline?
Wait till my age and you might change your mind. I enjoy riding with the AC on and the cab clean.No thanks. I enjoy the wind in my face and gettin dirty. What’s next, a/c in a golf cart?
Sounds like you need a jeep not an ATV. It would be more comfortable at your age.Wait till my age and you might change your mind. I enjoy riding with the AC on and the cab clean.
Been there done that with Bronco's, Jeeps and a Samari now I'm all in the SXS market. Our club has been riding SXS's for 25 years. Live and learnSounds like you need a jeep not an ATV.
I'm afraid that you will find the Honda HVAC machine to be inadequate in 90 degree + temps. John Doe #2 sez the PoPo AC is waay better ( from a cooling and comfort standpoint) even though it may not make it back home that is second hand from his uncledaddy cousinbrother who seen the working pre production units in testing.Waiting sucks especially when I tried Jeeps and a Samauri with A/C. I have to go fast to have fun. Our retired riding group started on Quads and motorcycles 29 years ago. The hot weather reduces the rides so I'm sure Honda will have an A/C Pioneer in the future and hopefully for 2025. I don't need one until May but not desperate enough to buy a Canam for Polaris. I had two RZR's and a Ranger. They broke so much I had to have three so I would have something to ride. I do expect the Honda Pioneer with A/C will be a lot lighter than the Polaris and be reliable too. I have over 51,000 miles on my Talons without a breakdown. Hopefully it will have more then 10 inches of wheel travel. 3 of the desert guys have Polaris but they are old and ride slow so the Polaris should hold up ok. Riding all day and doing 30 miles sucks. All my riding friends still have the need for speed, but we do try to keep it under 50. 20 to 50 is fun and a lot safer than 80. A few years ago, my young buddy wanted to do a fast-paced ride, so I got a waiver from the guys. We did 199 miles that day and we did half of it over 50. I drove my Yamaha YXZ, and my buddy had a Canam Turbo. A few years ago, I had a helmet blower. I routed the hose through a custom swamp cooler to get 70-degree air into the top of my helmet. I made the 100-degree riding fun. I have been spending most all of my SS money on motorcycles, quads, and side by sides.

How could you say the Honda HVAC will be inadequate, when it isn't even offered yet? My NorthStar is hot inside at 90 degrees as they say they will only keep it 15 Degrees cooler than the outside temp.I'm afraid that you will find the Honda HVAC machine to be inadequate in 90 degree + temps.
