2025 Honda TALON

Notes:

Look no further than the Honda Talon when you want a side-by-side that delivers on power, performance and durability. This Honda Talon 2 seater and its 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin engine offers the kind of powerful torque and quick-revving horsepower you’d expect from a flagship sport model.

•   High-Performance Engine

  The Talon boasts a 999 cc, quick revving, naturally-aspirated, parrallel twin engine which builds off years of experience with the Pioneer 1000 and the Africa Twin. From the shared 999 cc base platform, the Talon’s engine has been updated, refined and tuned to provide increased performance while maintaining Honda engine durability; essentially purpose-built for the Talon 1000X.

•   Unicam Head Design

  Engineers have adopted the Unicam head design with its low-friction roller rocker arms from the CRF motocross bikes, and have tuned the exhaust to create a sound like no other – especially when it’s at full throttle.

•   Smart Transmission

  Connected to the 999 cc engine is a fully-automatic six-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission. The transmission’s computer uses throttle position, RPM, and brake input, to establish driving style. For instance if you are an "aggressive driver" the character will be adjusted to be more exciting by allowing the engine to rev higher as it moves through the gears.

•   Quick Shift

  The Dual Clutch Transmission offers quick and seamless shifts between gears. Don't like the gear selected in Automatic mode? Paddle shifters allow you to override the selected gear at any point and then seamlessly drop back into automatical mode. Want more control? Switch into Manual mode and use the paddle shifters to fly through the gears.

•   High and Low Range Sub Transmission

  Talon is the industry’s first sport side-by-side to offer a gear-driven transmission with a high and low-range. For challenging terrain, drivers can choose between two traction settings. The Low Range Mode reduces the transmission’s gear ratio through a sub-transmission like a four-wheel drive truck. The transmission still shifts through all six gears, giving maximum engine torque and braking for hills and technical terrain.

•   Intelligent 4WD (I-4WD)

  The Talon 1000X includes a suite of stability assist features designed to make your ride safer, easier and more fun. Using technology developed for cars and trucks, this includes Brake Traction Control System (BTCS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). When i-4WD is engaged using the dashboard-mounted switch, BTCS applies additional drive to the tire with more grip, providing better traction. EBD automatically optimizes front and rear braking power to the conditions, making slowing down or coming to a stop more efficient and stable.

•   Hill Start Assist (HSA)

  Getting going when you’re stopped on a hill can be a bit of an adventure. That’s why the Talon 1000X comes standard with Hill Start Assist (HSA). Activated with a dashmounted switch, HSA automatically maintains sufficient brake pressure so you can move your foot to the gas pedal and you’re under way. No more need to two-foot it or heel-and-toe shifting when conquering steep hills - meaning no rollback.

•   Suspension & Ride Quality

  The Honda Talon 1000X delivers precision-tuned suspension built for aggressive trail riding and real-world terrain. Up front, the independent double-wishbone suspension with Showa® shocks provides 14.6 inches of travel, giving you confident cornering and smooth impact absorption over roots, rocks, and ruts. Out back, a 3-link trailing arm setup with Showa® shocks offers 15.1 inches of travel, keeping the wheels planted and the ride controlled—even in off-camber or high-speed situations. The result? A composed, comfortable ride that balances agility and stability, so you can stay in command no matter where the trail takes you. Whether you're weaving through tight switchbacks or blasting across rough ground, the Talon 1000X eats up terrain with confidence and control.

•   Easy Steering

  Honda’s automotive-style Electric Power Steering lessens steering effort and helps eliminate bump steer, especially over rocks, logs and on sidehills. This speed and input force-sensing power steering system is tuned specifically for sport usage.

•   Durable Frame

  To ensure exceptional rigidity, the Talon's square-tube frame is built as one piece that is designed to perform and is incredibly durable. The frames undergo a two-step process to maximize their durability. First, they are fully dipped in an electrostatic application process for full coverage inside and out. next the frames are powder coated. This two-step process is designed to prevent corrosion and chipping.

•   Standard One-Piece Hard Roof

  The one-piece roof section (with injection-moulded top) is designed with a built-in water gutter system that channels water away from the cabin to help keep the riders dry. Also, the roof air vents are designed so the Talon 1000X can be transported facing forwards or backwards on an open trailer.

•   Sport Seating

  The Talon 1000X offers the comfort, safety and support of deep bucket seats. These large and roomy bucket seats are made of soft, thick foam that allows for comfortable all-day adventures. With their aggressive bolstering, the seats really keep the riders in place with the seat belts featuring an over the shoulder fit to confidently secure the driver and passenger while maintaining comfort. They also feature pass-throughs to allow for the use of a 4-point harness system.

•   Perfect Position

  The drivers seat features a robust automotive grade adjuster, allowing the driver to be in the perfect driving position – The Honda Talon's interior design and ergonomics set it apart from the competition. It is specifically focused on providing both driver and passenger with the ultimate in confidence, comfort and convenience.

•   Adjustable Steering

  The Honda Talon 1000X also offers a variety of ergonomic features to ensure comfort for all riders. The steering column is equipped with a broad tilt range for comfortable arm positioning. It also tilts far forward for easy entry and exit.

•   Standard Hard Doors

  Hard doors with window netting specifically designed for sport driving, which can be eaily raised or lowered with just one-handed operation.

•   Secure Passenger Design

  The convenient passenger grab handle helps passengers feel more secure while enjoying the ride. The handle also features a “quick adjust” mechanism, which allows you to lock it into virtually any position with an unique cam-lock system, meaning that there’s no play… so no rattle, or vibration. Also the passenger floor has a raised area on each side to provide secure footing.

•   Optimum Visibility

  Super-bright headlights with a Low and High beam provide excellent lighting performance for maximum visibility at night.

•   Convenient Storage

  Got stuff to carry? The Talon’s rear cargo area is large enough to secure a full-size cooler and other traveling accessories. In fact, it can hold up to 136 kg (300 lb).

•   Easy Add-ons

  Make the Talon 1000X your own with a host of accessories including various roofs, cabs, covers, winches, body protection, lighting, storage, and cargo options. All of these accessories were specifically designed to "Enhance the Experience".
