I apologize in advance for the noob question. Can anyone tell me which 2WD ATV's come with an auto tranny? I am looking for a quad for my wife and she is not good with a clutch. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thx y'all!

i dont know how big you want but my mom and sister ride ranchers from Honda. they are 350cc. well, now they are 400 or something.
i know you can get ES which is push button shift on the handle bars. it has no clutch you just shift it.
you can get a clutchless foot shift. you shift like a regular bike with your foot but theres no clutch.
and now i think they offer a fully auto like a car. you put it in drive and go. no shifting. i know they do that on the foremans but idk about the rancher.
the rancher is a great bike though. probably the most popular ute out there. its air cooled, and bullet proof. trust me, ive put them though everything. they dont weigh too much either. and they are easy to ride. not too big but big enough to be comfy. plenty of power.

The Ranchers and Foremans are both bullet proof....just depends on how much power you are looking for. I have an 06 Foreman that's basically been to Hell and back......and no problems yet.

The wife is looking for a light weight 2WD ATV. Again, sorry for the layman's description. She's 5'8" so I'm guessing something 350+cc's would be about right for her.

She's really not into shifting of any kind. She simply wants to hit the throttle and go. Also, she can't handle a heavy quad. We rented some heavy 4WD quads in New Zealand and she hated every minute of it. It was too much for her to sling around. The lighter steering the better. |

HONDA 250EX. she can learn how to use a clutch with this machine. the 2006 and later models have a semi auto trans. very forgiving machine....The 2006 and earlier are standard auto transmissions

We're in JAX. Thanks for all your input so far. I've got the wife looking now too. She liked the tree-fiddy plus comment! |
