Honda Talon 1000X-2P FOX Live Valve Side-by-SideThe Talon 1000X-2P FOX Live Valve is designed to make every ride an unforgettable adventure. Seating two comfortably, it’s powered by our renowned 999 cc Unicam® engine, paired with a smooth automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission and FOX’s advanced semi-active suspension that adjusts to any terrain. Precision, power, and performance — ready for the trails of Canada. |
Powerful 999 cc Twin-Cylinder Engine with Unicam® DesignExperience unparalleled power with our liquid-cooled 999 cc parallel-twin engine, featuring the proven Unicam® cylinder head design from our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser. This compact design allows for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance, while delivering high horsepower and abundant torque. |
High-Flow Hardware for Serious PowerThe engine breathes exceptionally well thanks to a high-lift, long-duration camshaft, twin 46 mm throttle bores, roller-tip rocker arms, and high-flow fuel injectors. The result is improved efficiency, reduced friction, and strong power output throughout the rpm range—perfect for off-road performance. |
Advanced Oil Control for High-Load PerformanceSemi-dry-sump lubrication keeps oil away from the crankshaft to prevent windage losses and ensures consistent oiling under extreme conditions. Oil-jet pistons help maintain cooler temperatures and better sealing, extending piston life and boosting power. |
Engine Air IntakeClean air is critical for optimal performance. The air filter is positioned high over the engine and to the side for a steady supply of clean air, ensuring consistent engine output in all conditions. |
Dual-Pin Offset CrankshaftOffsetting the cylinders’ crankpins by 270 degrees delivers a wide, smooth powerband and abundant torque, while integrated counterbalancers keep vibration to a minimum. |
Engineered for Strength and SmoothnessThe engine is mounted behind the cab for optimal balance and neutral weight distribution. Rubber mounts isolate vibration for a smoother ride, and four engine mounts add strength under high loads. |
Automatic Six-Speed DCTOur class-leading Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) allows you to choose between manual or automatic control, and provides true engine braking and superior peformance to belt-driven CVTs. Steering-column paddle shifters let you override gears effortlessly, and Advanced Transmission Logic adapts to your driving style, holding or shifting gears for sport or relaxed driving. |
i-4WD with 2WD/4WD Shift on the FlyThe second-generation intelligent i-4WD system helps maintain traction even if one of the wheels spins. Torque-biasing brake control allows seamless, on-the-fly shifting between 2WD and 4WD for maximum control and effortless steering. |
Hill Start AssistPrevents rollback when transitioning from brake to accelerator on uphill or downhill grades. |
Advanced Semi-Active Suspension with FOX Live Valve 2.5 ShocksThe semi-active FOX Live Valve 2.5 shocks dynamically adjust compression damping for each wheel in real-time, reducing body roll, smoothing terrain navigation, and preventing bottoming. Combined with dual A-arm independent front suspension (14.6 inches of travel) and Honda's 3 - link trailing arm (15.1 inches of travel), this setup maintains optimal wheel geometry, providing superior handling, plush comfort, and excellent control over rough terrain. |
Dual-Rate Springs for Balanced HandlingDual-rate suspension springs combine a soft initial travel with a firmer second phase to resist bottoming and offer a balanced ride. Along with a slight rear weight bias (44% front, 56% rear), the Talon achieves optimal sport driving dynamics with stable handling, precise steering, and high-speed tracking. |
Electric Power Steering (EPS)The Honda EPS eliminates bump steer, reduces driver fatigue, and provides extra assistance at lower speeds and in 4WD mode. Specially tuned for sport driving, the system requires no belts or pumps to slip or fail. |
High-Performance Braking SystemBraking is handled by 250 mm discs at all four corners, with 34 mm twin-piston calipers up front and 34 mm single-piston calipers in the rear. Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) optimizes braking power for superior control in all conditions. |
Chassis Protection and DurabilityThe Talon features a robust chassis with a durable powder-coated frame finish, skid plates to protect undercarriage components, and a standard front bumper designed to slide over obstacles, and a built-in recovery hook mounting point for secure transport or recovery operations. |
Aerodynamic Design with Trail-Ready ProtectionPainted body panels resist scratches and look great on the trail, while the aerodynamic roof diverts rainwater away from occupants and improves airflow during transport. Door nets and full-coverage openings provide excellent mud and splash protection. |
Reinforced Tubing and Secure RestraintsSafety is a top priority. The Talon's Occupant Protection Structure meets ISO rollover standards with large-diameter tubing. Standard hard doors, quick-clip side nets, and three-point auto-style seatbelts with emergency locking retractors keep passengers secure from debris or impacts. |
Premium Seating ComfortThe easily adjustable driver’s seat, tilt steering wheel, twin-level front passenger footrests, integrated inner door handles, and passenger 'T' grab handles all enhance comfort, control, and accessibility. Additionally, industry-leading seats provide wide seatbacks and bottoms for maximum comfort and lateral support and are compatible with four-point harnesses. |
High-Capacity Bed with Secure Tie-DownsThe high-mounted cargo bed has a 136 kg (300 lb). capacity and six tie-down points, accommodating large items like a 45-quart cooler. Two 12-volt accessory charging ports, secure cup holders, a flag mount, and an integrated switch panel for easy accessory installation ensure convenience on the trail. |
Steering-Column LCD DisplayMounted to the steering column for improved readbility, the large, easy-to-read LCD instrument cluster displays speed, fuel, engine RPM, and more. |
Exclusive Launch ModeLaunch mode, exclusive to these automatic gear-driven Talons, delivers rapid starts for an exciting driving experience. |
