Honda Talon 1000X-4P FOX Live Valve Side-by-SideThe Talon 1000X-4P FOX Live Valve is built to elevate every journey into a true adventure. With roomy seating for four, it’s driven by our legendary 999 cc Unicam® engine and a seamless automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission. FOX’s cutting-edge semi-active suspension adapts instantly to the terrain, delivering unmatched control and comfort. Power, precision, and performance — perfectly engineered for Canada’s trails. |
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. |
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. This setup combines independent double‑wishbone front suspension (14.4 in travel) with 4+ link trailing‑arm rear suspension (21.7 in travel), with FOX Live Valve shocks on both ends to maintain 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. |
Extended Wheelbase with Precision TurningA longer 2,957 mm (116.4 in) wheelbase improves ride comfort and stability, while adjustments to the wheelbase enhance maneuverability and make navigating technical terrain, loading, and unloading easier. |
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 ComfortIndustry‑leading seats feature wide seatbacks and cushions that deliver exceptional comfort and lateral support and are compatible with four‑point harnesses for added security. In the rear, stadium‑style seating raises passengers nearly three inches, giving them improved visibility. This focus on comfort and usability continues with the adjustable driver’s seat, tilt steering wheel, twin‑level front passenger footrests, integrated inner door handles, and passenger “T” grab handles—all designed to enhance comfort, control, and accessibility. |
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. |
