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. New for 2021, the Talon 1000R is available with FOX Live Valve suspension for the best off-road handling you’ve ever experienced, and it’s offered in Metallic Gray. Plus, you can still get a Talon 1000R with FOX Q3S manually adjustable shocks, now in Pearl White. Further proof that life is better, side by side.
