Our Talon lineup redefines sport side-by-side performance. Powered by our 999cc Unicam® engine and featuring an automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission, they excel in wide-open, high-performance environments, while the FOX Live Valve variant adds advanced adaptive suspension.
Overseas model shown, NZ spec and colours may vary.
The 1000R FOX Live Valve model features a cutting-edge semi-active FOX suspension system that dynamically adjusts compression damping for each wheel. This system offers the benefits of reduced body roll, smoother terrain navigation, and superior resistance to bottoming out.
Features
Powerful 999cc Twin-Cylinder Engine
Experience unparalleled power with the liquid-cooled 999cc inline twin engine, boasting high horsepower, big torque, and unmatched refinement and reliability throughout the rpm range.
Superior Suspension
Dual A-arm suspension gives you 450mm of travel in the front, and 4+ link rear suspension provides superior handling by maintaining wheel geometry even with 510mm of travel. This ensures that the rear wheels' toe changes only slightly throughout the entire stroke, improving chassis stability under extreme suspension deflection. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you maximise available traction and superior comfort maneuvering over terrain other side-by-sides would shy away from.
Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
Honda's Electric Power Steering (EPS) technology is continually improving. It eliminates bump steer, reduces fatigue, and provides added assistance in 4WD, lower speeds, and rough conditions. The system is specially tuned for sport-driving, and there are no belts or pumps to slip, break, or leak.
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.
High-capacity Cooling System
When it comes to challenging terrains like rock crawling, dunes, and high altitudes, your side-by-side's cooling can be put to the test. That's why we equipped all of our Talons with a high-capacity system.
Steering column-mounted paddle shifters
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.
Hits All The Right Notes
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.
Full-coverage 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.
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
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.
Automatic Six-Speed DCT Transmission
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.
