New 2022 Honda Talon 1000X

Want to make just about anything more fun? Share it with a friend—or two, or three. That’s what our Talon 1000X-4 models are all about. Just as awesome as our two-seat Talons, the Talon 1000X-4 and Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve model make a good time even better by adding a pair of stadium style seats in the rear.

The Talon 1000X-4 features FOX Podium shocks with QS3 manual adjustors, while the Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve model comes with a radical, self-adjusting suspension. And for 2022 we’ve given our entire Talon lineup some tasty upgrades that—once again—keep them at the top of anyone’s sport side-by-side line. It’s a party in Talon town!

Honda Talon models are the only side-by-sides offering both an automatic gear driven transmission and launch mode. You won’t believe how fast you’ll come off the lineand neither will the other riders.

Welcome to the best seats in the house: Because they sit nearly three inches higher and two inches closer to each other than the fronts, the Talon 1000X-4’s rear “Stadium Seating” lets passengers see more. Enjoy the view!

Features may include:

• POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Sport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find the Talon 1000X-4’s offer plenty of it. The Talon’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 our sophisticated PGM-FI engine-mapping system, it delivers the kind of refinement no other side-by-side can match.

• FOX LIVE VALVE SUSPENSION

The Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve features FOX Live Valve suspension with 2.5-inch shocks on all four wheels. The system adjusts damping on each shock independently, automatically, and up to 16 times a second for superior ride quality and less pitch and roll over all terrain.

• AUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT TRANSMISSION

The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, our Honda gear-driven 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 engine braking and a more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.

• STADIUM SEATING

The Talons feature stadium seating for the rear passengers: compared to the front seats their seats are set almost three inches higher and two inches closer to each other, which gives those passengers a much better field of view. They’re not just looking at a pair of helmets in front of them—they get to enjoy the ride like everyone else. Forget about first class and coach—everyone rides first class in a Talon 4 passenger model.
