TALON 1000R / 1000Xwww.talon.fun

2019

Fun*Since ‘48, Honda’s been all about function. Here, unparalleled engineering, groundbreaking design and industry-leading reliability have always taken the wheel. But all work and no play? We’ve never rolled that way. Because the “joy of manufacturing” means nothing, if the “joy of messing around” isn’t riding shotgun. Believe us, the proof is in the paddle shifters. Because with the all-new Talon 1000, the difference between fun and function gets downright muddy. This all-terrain machine is the master class of our duality mantra: where horsepower fuels horseplay. Designed to dominate rocks, trails, dunes and dirt – this bird of prey is parked smack in the intersection of Workmanship and WooHoo. And while everyone else is busy rolling out more of the same, we’re introducing a side-by-side that’s about to raise some serious sand. Because when it comes to power, performance, features and reliability – we don’t play around.

That’s your job.

Meet the Talons. A family that plays together. Outdoorsy, loud and thrill-seeking, they’re the family the side-by-side category’s been waiting for. The family that makes other families jealous. The family you’ve always dreamed to be a part of. Speed. Power. Extremely good looks. All traits that run in the family. You could credit good genes (or great engineering). A fun-loving duo that’s always looking for new members – and you’re the latest addition. So fasten your seat belt. Secure your helmet. And get ready for the family off-road trip of your life.

At Honda, smiling only comes in one gear: automatic. But with the Talon 1000s, there are now multiple modes of getting there. The Talon’s six-speed Dual Clutch Transmission offers two fully automatic modes, Drive and Sport. The former allows the engine to operate at a lower rpm, for relaxed driving or in situations where reducing load on the drivetrain results in smoother driving over rough terrain, and the latter holds gears longer, shifting up or down at higher rpm for more aggressive driving. There’s also a Manual mode that gives the driver full control over the transmission, enabling him or her to change gears up or down via a pair of easily reachable, steering-wheel-mounted paddles, for heads-up driving. Even when driving in either of the two automatic modes, the system can be overridden via use of these paddles, with the transmission returning to automatic mode several seconds after each shift. Automatic or manual – the choice is totally yours. Frowning, however, isn’t an option.

When Honda says, “the more the merrier,” we’re not just talking speed, power and suspension – we’re talking riders, too. So, when it comes to our merry family of Talon 1000s, we’re not saying riding solo is a no-no. But nothing beats rolling through the forest with the family tree. From sunrise camping to afternoons by the lake to marshmallows over bonfires underneath the stars – time flies when family’s along for the ride. Because fun, like life, is better side by side.

Extended periods of boredom can drive you stir-crazy. The endlessly entertaining Talon 1000X drives you in the opposite direction. A refined, high-performance chassis – allowing superior maneuverability, precision and stability – makes this machine the mother of handling Mother Nature. Featuring a dime-like 17.7-foot turning radius, dual A-arm suspension with 14.6 inches of front travel, and an 87.6-inch wheelbase, this trail blazer ridicules tight turns and rough terrain – no sweat (though your armpits might). With the Talon 1000X, we’ve paid extra-close attention to control, so you can pay attention to an uncontrollably fun ride.

Actually, two. When blasting through dunes in the desert, you’re going to need water. Which means you’re going to need a cup holder to hold that water. So why not one with design features that seriously go the extra mile? Like a high-speed one with a scratch-resistant painted body instead of color-molded plastic? Or an ultra-nimble one with hard doors and window nets for more security and less rattle? Or how about one that’s challenging the category with a standard hard top and all the fun you can handle? Because that’s what you’re getting with the all-new Talon 1000R and 1000X: a remarkably powerful, incredibly engineered, endlessly fun… cup holder. That’s setting a whole new standard for standard.
