The Talon 1000X-4 and 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve models have four seats (two in the front row and two in the back row), so you can bring family and friends along to share the fun.
On the three standard Talons, the Quick Switch 3 adjustment system offers tool-less selection between three significantly different damping settings (comfort, sport and aggressive/loaded). This simplified tuning system encourages adjustment for changing conditions and also allows a quick visual check to ensure all corners are running the same settings.
Integrated skid plates protect components and help the vehicle glide off of obstacles. The rear skid plate has labelled access holes for the tow hook and engine-drain bolts, so removal of the plate isn’t necessary during oil changes.
The driveshaft boots, susceptible to damage in off-road driving, are well-protected, as outboard guards provide maximum coverage, even during turning and through the full range of suspension travel, whereas inboard boots are positioned behind the suspension A-arms.
A great deal of engineering went into integrating rear passengers in the riding experience. Considerations for rear ingress/egress include an opening that is wide enough even for passengers wearing bulky winter gear. The “stadium seating” layout offsets the rear seats 50mm inboard and 75mm higher compared to the front seats, improving visibility and enabling a more engaged experience for rear passengers, while also situating them away from tire spray.
Honda’s i-4WD is the powersports industry’s first off-road brake traction control system (BTCS), and it has been specifically adapted to sport SXS use. It manages the amount of slip between left and right front wheels, applying torque to the one with greater grip. The result is excellent traction and tracking performance in tough off-road conditions, with reduced steer effort and kickback compared to a standard differential lock.
