New 2023 Honda Talon 1000X FOX Live Valve

Like every model in our Talon 2023 lineup, our 2023 Honda Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve is loaded with updates: new full-coverage doors with more storage. New aluminum wheels. New wiring that makes adding accessories easier than ever. New accessories. New colors, and new suspension settings, and even more storage under the rear seats. Of course the best parts don’t change: The Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve rocks our 999cc Honda Unicam engine and exclusive automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) driveline. Need some help deciding which Talon is right for you? The Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve is our four-seat model designed for excellent maneuverability and quick handling in a wide range of riding areas, especially woods. The Talon 1000X is our two-seat version. If you’re looking for a Talon specially tailored for faster, wide-open terrain, then check out our Talon 1000R and brand-new four-seat Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve. Plus, every Talon is available with premium FOX Live Valve suspension.

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 FOX Live Valve’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 FOX Live Valve’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 and dependability no other side-by-side can match.

• FOX LIVE VALVE 2.5 SHOCKS

On the Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve, these shocks incorporate FOX automatically adjusting Live Valve technology. The shocks are constantly changing their compression damping (each shock independently, in real time) for all four wheels. You get less body roll in corners, a smoother ride through whoops, and more resistance to bottoming—a deluxe ride overall.

• AUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT TRANSMISSION

The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, our exclusive 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 RPM 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 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.
