Powered by a big bore Single, Honda's new TRX700XX is an innovative quad that just might reshape the future of sporting ATVs.

What can we say? Splashing around in the water is fun.

Our testing time aboard the all-new TRX700XX took place just south of Death Valley, California, but we still managed to find some water to splash around in.

Despite Honda's assertion that the TRX700 tips the scales at 505-pounds ready to ride, it certainly didn't feel that heavy.

Climbing aboard the Double-X for the first time reveals a comfy seat which tapers more narrowly as the seat reaches the tank junction.

Up front, the independent double-wishbone suspension consists of long travel steel A-arms damped via unique dual-stage shock absorbers - the first of its kind for Honda.

Ringing in at $7699, the Honda TRX700XX comes with an impressive one-year factory warranty.

Want to test the suspension? That's what jumps are for and the big ol' TRX holds its own in the air.

The big-bore Single inside the TRX700 has enough oomph to get things going out in the dirt.

One thing a rider will not have to worry about on the new TRX is rear traction, as the rear tires hook up almost too well, making power slides more difficult than a regular ATV.

The footpegs are wide and offer the rider a good platform to move around on. Behind, rear mudguards incorporate neat footrests which allow the rider to further stabilize their footing.
