2024 Honda® Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve

2024 Honda® Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve

If you want the performance of a Honda Talon 1000R, but also want to share the fun with more passengers, then step this way. That’s why we make our four-seater side-by-side Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve. With the same great 999cc Honda Unicam engine and our automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) driveline as our two-seat Talons, you get not only awesome performance but a level of refinement and comfort only Honda can offer. For 2024, we’ve updated the stadium seating, and our Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve adds a premium, automatically adjusting active suspension package. If you like tight, technical trails, make sure you check out our Talon 1000X models too. But no matter which Talon you choose, you’re going to rule the off-road roost!

Features may include:

• POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Sport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find the Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve offers plenty of it. The Talon 1000R-4’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. Rubber mounted, 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.

• UNICAM CYLINDER HEAD DESIGN

The Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve's 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin uses the same proven Unicam® cylinder head design found in our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser. That helps make the engine more compact, which lets us position it for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance.

• FOX LIVE-VALVE 2.5 SHOCKS

On the Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve, these shocks incorporate FOX’s 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.

• TIGHTER TURNING RADIUS

By fine-tuning the Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve's wheelbase, we’ve also given it a tight turning radius. That makes tight maneuvering even easier, especially when you’re loading, unloading, or in really technical terrain.

• 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 shifting for you. In addition, you also get genuine engine braking and more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.

• STADIUM SEATING

The Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve features 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 four-seat Talon.
