Chassis dimensions

The 87.6-inch wheelbase contributes to this sport side-by-side’s tracking and also gives you a super-smooth ride. At 64 inches wide and shorter than the Talon 1000R, the Talon 1000X emphasizes quick handling and maneuverability.

Packed with performance

Unicam® cylinder head design

Unicam® cylinder head design

Using the same proven Unicam® cylinder head design found in our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser helps make the engine more compact, allowing us to position it for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance.

Power

Power

Because our Honda all-gear Automatic DCT Transmission is so efficient, it has more rear-wheel horsepower than some of the competitors in the class.

Independent front suspension

Independent front suspension

Dual A-arm suspension gives you 14.6 inches (14.4 inches – FOX Live Valve) of front travel. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you will begin to understand two reasons why they handle so well in rough terrain.

3-link rear suspension

3-link rear suspension

A 3-link trailing-arm rear suspension is one of the secrets to its superior handling. A generous 15.1 inches of rear-wheel travel helps give you a smooth ride and superior control.

High-performance brakes

High-performance brakes

Front and rear, they feature high-performance 250mm discs, with 34mm twin-piston calipers in front and 34mm single-piston calipers in the rear, while Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) optimizes front and rear braking power.

Hill start assist

Hill start assist

Hill Start Assist automatically holds you in position while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator—there’s no roll-back drama. It even works on the downhills, too!

Advanced Transmission Logic

Advanced Transmission Logic

The brain of the DCT, Advanced Transmission Logic, senses how you drive and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts, while sportier drivers will hold each gear longer. And when going downhill, you get true engine braking.

Painted body

Painted body

The painted body parts resist scratching better, plus they just look better—the first time you see a new Talon in person, we’re sure you’ll agree.

Hard doors

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

Driver/passenger protection

The Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing and meets ISO’s rollover protection standard. Hard doors and quick-clip side nets help keep out debris, while auto-style three-point seatbelts feature an emergency locking retractor mechanism.

Adjustable driver's seat

Adjustable driver's seat

Designed to fit a wide range of operators, the adjustable driver’s seat locks positively in position without wobble, helping make you feel more connected to the vehicle.

Passenger "T" grab handle

Passenger "T" grab handle

Your front passenger needs a solid way to hold on, and Honda got it right with the Talons. The “T” handle resides up front and is quickly adjustable, solid, and rattle-free.

There’s no better time than now
