What happens here

The review moves to the blue 2022 Honda Rubicon 520 DCT. This model features a Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) that allows for automatic or manual shifting via handlebar buttons, providing versatility. The presenter points out a 12-volt accessory outlet and describes the seat as more plush than the Foreman's, though he notes it tore easily (requiring replacement) due to less durable material. He demonstrates the improved placement of the Rhino Grips on this ATV, allowing for tools to be laid across without interfering with riding. He also details his Titan Rack system with an attached ATV Spreader, which is used for grass seed. He expresses disappointment with the Titan Rack's durability, noting it broke despite being advertised to hold significant weight, and that the spreader, with only 25 lbs of seed, caused further issues. He shows the internal battery compartment and wiring for the spreader. The front basket design is criticized for restricting the high beam headlight. He notes the machine was purchased used with low hours (57 hours, 268 miles) and advises caution when buying low-hour used ATVs. He demonstrates the automatic and manual shifting modes and discusses the importance of parking the ATV in gear with diff-lock engaged for security, or in neutral if in a garage.

Goal: This segment focuses on the blue 2022 Honda Rubicon 520 DCT, highlighting its dual clutch transmission, seating, accessory power, and issues encountered with its Titan Rack and attached spreader.
