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.

i-4WD

All Talons showcase the second generation of our exclusive i-4WD system. Think “i” for “intelligent” because that’s exactly what it is. An industry-first brake-traction control system that maintains front-wheel traction even if one wheel wants to spin

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.

Unicam® cylinder head design
Accessorized Model Shown

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.

Tuned exhaust

Tuned exhaust

An equally tuned exhaust system is necessary for improved intake and fuel delivery. This system produces beautiful mechanical exhaust notes and ensures smooth and even engine power delivery.

Weight bias

Weight bias

A slight rear weight bias works best for optimal sport driving. This is why we set up the Talons with 44% of their weight over the front and 56% over the rear.

Dual-rate springs
Accessorized Model Shown

Dual-rate springs

The suspension springs offer soft initial travel yet resist bottoming, ensuring a comfortable ride and control—the best of both worlds.

Connected drive feeling
Accessorized Model Shown

Connected drive feeling

The DCT gearbox provides a more connected feel to your vehicle than those with a CVT transmission. Combine that with the responsive engine, and you'll see why the Talon gives you a superior sense of control.

Paddle shifting
Accessorized Model Shown

Paddle shifting

Steering column-mounted paddle shifters add performance and fun. In Manual mode, they let you shift without taking your hands off the steering wheel; in Automatic mode, they let you override the current gear.

Durable frame finish
Accessorized Model Shown

Durable frame finish

The frame is fully treated inside and out with an electrostatic surface application during manufacturing and then powder-coated to resist chipping. It will look great for a long time.

Hard doors
Accessorized Model Shown

Hard doors

Hard doors are standard, offering full coverage and excellent weather protection. They provide extra storage space with cupholders and secure compartments. Doors use a double-latch design that’s rattle-free.

Driver/passenger protection
Accessorized Model Shown

Driver/passenger protection

The vehicle's Occupant Protection Structure meets ISO’s rollover protection standard with large-diameter tubing. Standard hard doors and quick-clip side nets keep debris out of the cabin. Auto-style three-point seatbelts optimize passenger security with emergency locking retractors.

Tilt wheel
Accessorized Model Shown

Tilt wheel

A tilt steering wheel makes high-performance driving even more comfortable. Additionally, the tilt-wheel function makes getting in and out easier.

Door nets
Accessorized Model Shown

Door nets

Our door nets are standard equipment. They latch and unlatch quickly and easily. Performance counts, and we’ve made it easier to help protect yourself from the elements.

LCD display

LCD display

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.

There’s no better time than now
