2021 Honda® Talon 1000X FOX Live Valve

2021 Honda® Talon 1000X FOX Live Valve, 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. New 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.

LAUNCH MODE

Sit back, hang on tight, pin the throttle, and get ready to feed your buddies some serious roost: The FOX Live Valve-equipped Honda Talons are the only side-by-sides offering both an automatic transmission and launch mode. You won’t believe how fast and straight you’ll come off the line and neither will the other guys.

AUTOMATIC DUAL-CLUTCH TRANSMISSION (DCT)

The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual. Use the paddle shifters, or kick back and let it do the thinking for you. Either way, you get genuine engine braking and a more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.

Features may include:

• 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. Set longitudinally in the chassis and managed by Honda’s sophisticated PGM-FI engine-mapping system, it delivers the kind of refinement no other side-by-side can match.

• 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. That helps make the engine more compact, which lets us position it for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance.
