2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardPowerful Performance

We’ve given the engine huge power in our entire Pioneer 1000-5 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.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardDual Clutch Transmission (DCT)

Drive the way you want, with the industry’s first and only 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.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardAdvanced Transmission Logic

Advanced Transmission Logic is the brain of the DCT — it senses how you drive and adapts accordingly. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts for a quieter ride at lower engine speeds. With sportier drivers, it will hold each gear longer for higher RPM shifts. And when going downhill, you get true engine braking. Now that’s a smart transmission.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardPaddle Shifting

Steering column-mounted paddle shifters add a serious dose of performance in every drive. In Manual mode, they let you shift without ever taking your hands off the wheel, and in Automatic mode, they let you override the current gear with a quick up or downshift, holding that gear for several seconds before returning to Automatic mode.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardTackle Any Terrain

Venturing over really tricky, rocky terrain, hauling a big load down a steep hill, or need some real hill-climbing ability? The Pioneer 1000-5P Trail Special Edition’s high/low-range sub transmission provides a full 42-percent gear reduction when you switch to the low range.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardClever Controls

Quickly and easily choose, via a dash-mounted lever, from 2WD, 4WD, 4WD with differentials locked for the toughest conditions, or Turf mode, which is perfect for sensitive surfaces like grass fields.

chassis & suspension

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardElectric Power Steering

Every Pioneer 1000 features an EPS system with a brushless motor integrated with the ECU. The return-to-centre function makes it intuitive on straight trails, and the whole system feels responsive and linear.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardIndependent Suspension

Dual A-arm suspension gives you 268 mm (10.6 in.) of travel in the front, and 254 mm (10 in.) of travel in the rear. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you maximize available traction and comfort while manoeuvring over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardSuperior Stopping Power

With a side-by-side this powerful and capable, you need brakes that are up to the job, too. Honda’s extensive automotive experience means you know the all-wheel disc brake system is up to the task.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardPowerful Towing

You can load a full half-ton (454 kg/1,000 lb) into the Pioneer 1000-5P Trail Special Edition’s bed. And when it’s time to unload, the bed’s hydraulic-assisted tilting feature makes dumping firewood, gravel, feed or other items easy. And because it’s able to tow well over a full ton (1,134 kg/2,500 lb) – with a hitch mount – this is a side-by-side that can take on big jobs that otherwise would require a tractor or a truck.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardSecure Design

The Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing and includes integrated handholds, recessed top tubes and a more spacious structure to enhance protection. Hard doors and roll-up side nets provide a secure feel and keep mud and debris out of the cabin, while automotive-style three-point belts with an Emergency Locking Retractor mechanism help keep everyone secure.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardLCD Instrument Display

The instrument display is easy to read, with big and bright graphics. The display includes a clutch indicator and a battery-voltage readout too, in addition to speed, fuel level, RPM, transmission mode, water temperature, trip information and more.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardPrewired for Accessories

We’ve pre-wired all Pioneer 1000-5 models for accessory switches, so you don’t have to run a lot of extra wiring. For things like a winch alone, it slashes installation time as well as making the installation easier and cleaner. We’ve even included an extra, integrated grounding terminal.

2025 Honda Pioneer 1000 5P Trail Special Edition Side by Side StandardAccessory Switch Panel

Standard equipment on the Pioneer 1000, the switch panel has room for seven switches, letting you control things like a winch, accessory lights, and more. A fully integrated design, it sits in the centre of the dashboard, underneath the other switches and controls.
