2021 Honda Talon 1000X FOX Live Valve

YOUR ULTIMATE THRILL RIDE JUST GOT BETTER.

The Honda Talon family of side by sides have shown the world just how good a sporting side-by-side can be . . . if you build them the Honda way. And with the addition of our FOX Live Valve-equipped models, they're even better. Here's what you need to know: Every Talon in our lineup-the newest four-seaters and our two-seat Talon 1000X and the Talon 1000R models-all share the same industry-exclusive Automatic DCT Transmission, I-4WD technology, complemented by our powerful, high-output engine. And they all offer the combination of performance and rider comfort you expect from a Honda. The differences between our two-seat models? The Talon 1000X is a little narrower and a little shorter (64 inches wide and an 87.6-inch wheelbase). It also uses a three-link rear suspension, which makes it a natural for owners who prioritize maneuverability and quick handling. For 2021, both the Talon 1000R and Talon 1000X are available with FOX Live Valve suspensions for the best off-road handling you've ever experienced. With a Honda Talon, life is better, side by side.

CHASSIS FEATURES

* CHASSIS DIMENSIONS: The Talon 1000X's 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 places an emphasis on quick handling and maneuverability.

* LONG-TRAVEL THREE-LINK SUSPENSION: The Talon 1000X features Honda's three-link rear suspension, with a whopping 15.1 inches of rear-wheel travel for a smooth ride and superior control.

* INDEPENDENT FRONT SUSPENSION: Dual A-arm suspension gives you 17.7 inches of travel in the front. Pair that with stellar ground clearance and you begin to understand two reasons why the Talon 1000X handles so well and is so comfortable in rough terrain.

DESIGN FEATURES

* DRIVER / PASSENGER PROTECTION: The Talon 1000X's Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing, and meets ROHVA's rollover protection standard. The standard-equipment hard doors and quick-clip side nets help keep debris from entering the cabin.

* ADJUSTABLE DRIVER'S SEAT: Honda has a ton of data and experience on seats, thanks to our auto division. And while just about every sport side-by-side has an adjustable driver's seat, only the Talon gets it this right. Designed to fit a wide range of operators, it also locks positively in position without wobble, helping make you feel more connected to the vehicle.

* PAINTED BODY: Why paint and not color-molded plastic? Because the Talon 1000X's painted body parts resist scratching better, and we know that where you're going to be driving this side-by-side, you won't want to slow down for a little brush by the side of the trail. Plus, they just look better-the first time you see a Talon 1000X in person, we're sure you'll agree.

DRIVETRAIN FEATURES

* AUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT TRANSMISSION: The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, Honda's DCT lets you drive the way you want. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic.

* I-4WD: The Honda Talon 1000X showcases the second generation of our exclusive I-4WD system, specifically tuned to respond quicker and capable of delivering even more drive force. Think "i" for "intelligent," because that's exactly what it is. An industry-first brake-traction control system for side-by-sides, it simplifies operation, increases drivability and optimizes traction.

* LAUNCH MODE: Nobody wants to get beat off the line, and with a Talon 1000X FOX Live Valve you'll be the one doing the laughing.

ENGINE FEATURES

* POWERFUL 999CC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: Sport side-by-sides need power, and you're sure to find the Talon 1000X offers plenty of it. The Talon 1000X's 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin delivers the kind of powerful torque and quick-revving horsepower you'd expect from a flagship sport model, but is equally responsive in lower revs and in the critical midrange too.

* UNICAM CYLINDER HEAD DESIGN: The Talon 1000X's 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin uses the same proven Unicam cylinder head design found in our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser.

* ROLLER ROCKER ARMS: Roller-tip rocker arms in the Talon 1000X's valve train help reduce engine friction, facilitate higher, faster revs, and contribute to more efficient engine operation and power.
