Redefining off-road excellence

Powerful 999cc twin-cylinder engine

Unleash ample power with the 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin engine. It produces big torque, high horsepower, and responsiveness across the rpm range, the result of unmatched refinement and reliability.

Redefining off-road excellence

FOX Live Valve 2.5 shocks

The cutting-edge semi-active suspension utilizes FOX's adaptive Live Valve technology, dynamically adjusting compression damping for each wheel. Enjoy reduced body roll, smoother terrain navigation, and superior resistance to bottoming.

Redefining off-road excellence

Stadium seating

Welcome to the best seats in the house: Because they sit nearly three inches higher and two inches closer to each other than the fronts, the rear “Stadium Seating” lets passengers see more. Enjoy the view!

Redefining off-road excellence

Automatic six-speed DCT

Our automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) boasts a class-leading gear-driven setup, giving you manual or automatic control. It has efficient power delivery, true engine braking, and superior performance to belt-driven CVTs.

Precision engineering, off-road mastery

View all Features

Unicam® cylinder head design

The 999cc engine has a compact design thanks to the Unicam^® cylinder head from our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser, resulting in optimal weight distribution and ground clearance.

Semi-dry-sump lubrication

The semi-dry-sump design keeps engine oil away from the crankshaft. It ensures more positive oiling under extreme conditions, eliminating windage losses and ensuring better oiling under extreme driving conditions.

Engine air intake

Clean air is vital for optimal engine performance. Our design places the air filter high over the engine in the rear and the air intake off to the side to guarantee a constant supply of clean air.

Engine location

Engine placement is pivotal, situated behind the cab for optimal balance and neutral weight distribution, ensuring exceptional control.

Tighter turning radius

By adjusting the wheelbase, we've improved maneuverability, making it easier to load, unload, and navigate technical terrain.

Independent front suspension

Dual A-arm suspension gives you 17.6 inches of front travel. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you understand why the SxS handles so well and is so comfortable in rough terrain.

4+ link rear suspension

Honda's 4+ link rear suspension provides superior handling by maintaining wheel geometry even with 20.1 inches of travel. This ensures that the rear wheels' toe changes only slightly throughout the entire stroke, improving chassis stability under extreme suspension deflection.

High-performance brakes

The SxS has high-performance brakes with 250mm discs and 34mm twin-piston calipers at the front, and 34mm single-piston calipers at the back. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) optimizes braking power under dynamic conditions in two-wheel drive.

Skid plates

Off-road driving can be challenging, and rough terrain can be unforgiving. We offer generous skid protection and a wide range of accessories to protect vulnerable undercarriage and suspension components.

Front bumper

The standard front bumper offers more vehicle protection than some other side-by-sides and is designed to slide smoothly over obstacles in rough conditions while offering good protection.

Launch mode

These are the only side-by-sides offering an automatic gear-driven transmission and launch mode. You won't believe how fast you'll come off the line–and neither will the other riders.

Easy-to-read LCD instruments

All Talon models have a large, clear LCD instrument display showing speed, fuel, engine rpm, and more. The display is mounted on the steering column and moves with the wheel.
