2019 Honda Talon 1000X

You’ve heard the rumors; now it’s time to experience the reality. And one ride will tell you the new Honda Talon 1000X was worth the wait. And you’ll also see that it is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to do it all. Both the Talon 1000X and the Talon 1000R share the same powerful, high-output engine, Automatic DCT Transmission, and I-4WD technology package. And they also both offer the combination of performance and rider comfort you expect from a Honda. The differences? The Talon 1000X is 64 inches wide and has 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. Since nobody knows better than you where you like to ride, why not check them out then make your pick. Either way, you really can’t go wrong when you choose a Honda Talon.

Features may include:

• POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Sport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find the new 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 motocross bikes. That helps make the engine more compact, which lets us position it for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance.

• CHASSIS AND SUSPENSION

The Talon 1000X’s refined, high-performance chassis forms the basis for its superior handling and stability. From there we add long-travel independent front and rear suspension and generous ground clearance. Plus, the Talon 1000X gets premium, FOX Podium 2.0 shocks with QS-3 quick adjustors on all four corners.

• AUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT TRANSMISSION

The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, Honda’s DCT lets you drive the way you want. Choose between manual mode or fully automatic. Plus, the addition of Sport Mode increases the fun, shifting at higher RPMs for a spirited, full-performance driving experience. DCT puts you in control as to what engine speed you want, and what gear ratio. Or you can let it do all the thinking for you. In addition, you also get genuine compression braking and a more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.
