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, the Talon 1000X is available with FOX Live Valve suspension for the best off-road handling you’ve ever experienced, and it’s offered in Pearl White/Metallic Blue. Plus, you can still get a Talon 1000X with FOX Q3S manually adjustable shocks, now in Metallic Orange/Metallic Gray. With a Honda Talon, life is better, side by side.
