WIDE-OPEN FUN, LIVENED UP.

One size never fits all. And neither does one style. Off-roaders are individualists, and that means they want to do things their way. We hear you, and that’s why our Talon family of sport side-by-sides just keeps growing. The Talons are available in both two- and four-seat models, and with a choice of suspension options. All share the same powerful, Honda designed and built high-output engine, quick-shifting Automatic DCT Transmission, and exclusive I-4WD technology. Rider comfort? Nobody does it like Honda. Performance? We’ve built our reputation on it. The key differences between our two-seaters? The Talon 1000R has a longer wheelbase, a wider vehicle track, and more suspension travel than the Talon 1000X. It’s a perfect match for riders who tackle rugged, more wide open terrain. 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. Further proof that life is better, side by side.

CHASSIS FEATURES
• FOX LIVE VALVE SUSPENSION: The Talon 1000R FOX Live Valve features FOX Live Valve suspension with 2.5-inch shocks on all four wheels.
• CHASSIS DIMENSIONS: The Talon 1000R’s 92.7-inch wheelbase contributes to this sport side-by-side’s tracking, and also gives you a super-smooth ride.
• 4+ LINK REAR SUSPENSION: On both of the Talon 1000R models, Honda’s 4+ link rear suspension is one of the secrets to its superior handling.

DESIGN FEATURES
• DRIVER / PASSENGER PROTECTION: The Talon 1000R’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.
• PAINTED BODY: Why paint and not color-molded plastic? Because the Talon 1000R’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.

DRIVETRAIN FEATURES
• AUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT TRANSMISSION: The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, Honda’s Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) lets you drive the way you want. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic. Plus, the addition of Sport Mode increases the fun, shifting at higher RPMs for a spirited, full-performance driving experience.
• I-4WD: The Talon 1000R 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 1000R FOX Live Valve you’ll be the one doing the laughing. Talons are the only side-by-sides with both automatic transmissions and a launch mode.

ENGINE FEATURES
• POWERFUL 999CC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: Sport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find the Talon 1000R offers plenty of it. The Talon 1000R’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 1000R’s 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin uses the same proven Unicam® cylinder head design found in our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser. That helps make the engine more compact, which lets us position it for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance.
• ROLLER ROCKER ARMS: Roller-tip rocker arms in the Talon 1000R’s valve train help reduce engine friction, facilitate higher, faster revs, and contribute to more efficient engine operation and power. They’re another example of Honda refinement you may not see, but that you’ll feel with every ride.
