The Pioneer 1000 takes everything we have learnt from our ATVs and side-by-sides and added to them. Offering more power from their Honda Unicam engines, a new instrument panel, new, larger cup holders, upgraded tyres and wheels, new Electric Power Steering, new graphics and front-grille design, and much, much more.
The Forest edition comes with camo graphics, alloy wheels, Warn winch, larger front bumper and more.
Our Pioneer 1000-5 models include Honda QuickFlip® seating in the bed, letting you instantly switch from a fold-flat bed configuration to comfortable passenger seating.
From the 450kg hauling to the 1100kg+ towing capacity, it is designed to take what you need to where you need it. Choose from 3, 4, or 5 seats depending on what your situation requires. Fully-independent front and rear suspension with some of the longest travel of any multi-purpose side-by-side. And open or locked front and rear differentials that prevent you from unnecessarily tearing up delicate surfaces.
And let’s remember: this is a Honda, a name that’s long stood for quality and reliability. So you get class-leading power, performance, and features, purpose-built by the best in the business.
The Forest Edition comes with a range of extras including i-4WD for smarter traction in slippery conditions, a Warn VRX 45 winch, a rear bed light and interior light, black aluminium wheels, and oversized front bumper and TreuTimber Atera Camo graphics.
Features
i-4WD
Our exclusive i-4WD system. Think “I” for “Intelligent,” because that’s exactly what it is. An industry-first brake-traction control system for side-by-sides, it simplifies operation, increases drivability and optimizes traction. Using proven, advanced technology from the Honda automotive division, you get the benefits associated with a locked front differential with none of the downsides. That means it maintains front-wheel traction even if one wheel wants to spin on ice or mud or if it’s in a hole. But at the same time, you get the lighter steering, better tracking at high speeds, tighter turning radius, and reduced kickback associated with unlocked front differentials.
LED Bed Light
Whether you're out on the farm before sunrise, or after sunset, our Pioneer 1000 Forest Edition features integrated LED bed lighting on both the left and right sides.
Fully-Automatic Six-Speed DCT Transmission
Drive the way you want, with the industry’s first and only all gear-driven six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic. Plus, the addition of Sport Mode increases the fun, shifting at higher RPM for a spirited, full-performance driving experience.
Tilt/Dump Bed
With 454kgs of bed hauling and when it comes to dumping, we've made it easier than ever, with a hydraulic assist tilt bed lever that can be accessed from outside the vehicle, or right from the driver’s seat.
More Powerful 999cc Twin-Cylinder Engine
We've given the engine huge power in our entire Pioneer 1000 lineup, especially in the midrange and top end. And thanks to the lower gear ratios, you’ll feel quick acceleration and stellar overall performance. Using the same Unicam® cylinder head design found in our motocross bikes, the class-leading 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin is compact, while delivering the kind of horsepower and torque you’d expect from a flagship model.
Powerful Brakes
The Pioneer’s uncompromising power helps take you further than ever before. The reliable disc brakes help you stop on a dime. Built to the same standard as you'd find in our autos, the four-wheel disc brakes help minimize debris build up, ensuring consistent performance and giving you confidence on the farm, or trail.
Independent Suspension Front & Rear
Dual A-arm suspension gives you 266mm of travel in the front and 2454mm in the rear.. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you maximize available traction and superior comfort maneuvering over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.
Updated Dashboard
Updated dashboard offers better control at your fingertips, to select the right driving mode, control gears and switch between 2WD and 4WD. All the essential data is feed back to you via the easy to read LCD screen, and there's dual cup holders to bring the coffee along on the cold mornings.
Easy to Read Multi-function Dash
The multi-function LCD dash display is large enough to host loads of information, in an easy-to-read way, like speed and fuel level. RPM and transmission mode. Fuel gauge, water temperature, trip information and more. It even includes a clock, so you’ll always know when it’s time for some fun.
Rubber Mounted Engine & Exhaust
Some of the most impressive Pioneer 1000 features are those you'll never see. In addition to the suspension and ground clearance, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to insulate the cabin against excessive vibration. So while you may not see this feature, it’s one you will definitely notice.
High/Low Subtransmission
With a full 42-percent gear reduction between High and Low, you get the torque you need in all six gears. It comes in handy when driving over difficult terrain, scaling steep hills or towing heavy loads.
Turf Mode/2WD/4WD/Diff Lock
Don't tear up sensitive surfaces. Select Turf Mode. If you want to access as much traction as possible, put it in 4WD. Need maximum power at all four wheels? Lock the front and rear differentials. And the best part is, you can do it all with a shift of a single lever.
A Breath of Fresh Air
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.
1100kg+ Towing Capacity
The Pioneer 1000 is capable of towing 1,134 kilos. 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.
14" Alloy Wheels
14-inch aluminium wheels with an all black finish offer a premium look and are tough wearing.
Quickflip® Seating
Versatility is the defining feature of the Pioneer 1000-5P, and nothing illustrates that better than our industry-exclusive QuickFlip® seating system. Switch between 3-person mode with full cargo and tilt bed functionality, to 4-person mode, to 5. Seats lay flat in the bed, and pop up in an instant whenever you need them.
Warn VRX 45 Winch
This is a huge upgrade and standard equipment on our Pioneer 1000 Forest. The winch is installed at the factory, and is built right into the Pioneer’s chassis, not added on as an accessory. With a 2000+ kg capacity and spooled with steel cable, you'll be ready to pull your buddy out when he gets stuck!
