2021 Honda® Talon 1000X-4 Base

2021 Honda® Talon 1000X-4

One of the best parts of any side-by-side is sharing the fun with friends and family. And that’s where Honda’s Talon 1000X-4 models really shine. With four seats, there’s room for the whole crew. But here’s the biggest difference—these four-seat side-by-sides are done the Honda way, so those extra passengers get stadium seating and plush accommodations. Plus, there are two models: The Talon 1000X-4 features FOX Podium shocks with QS3 manual adjustors, while the Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve comes with a radical, self-adjusting suspension. Plus, Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve owners get some tasty extra features, like Honda’s launch mode.

• Stadium Seats

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’s rear “Stadium Seating” lets passengers see more.

Features may include:

• Powerful 999CC Twin-Cylinder Engine

Sport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find the new Talon 1000X-4’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 Honda’s sophisticated PGM-FI engine-mapping system, it delivers the kind of refinement no other side-by-side can match

• Chassis And Suspension

The Talons feature a special, long-wheelbase and high-performance chassis that forms the basis for its superior handling and stability. From there we add long-travel independent front and rear suspension and generous ground clearance. The Talon 1000X-4 gets premium, FOX Podium 2.0 shocks up front and 2.5 shocks out back (with QS3 quick adjustors on all four corners), while the Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve showcases our new FOX Live Valve suspension with 2.5 shocks front and rear.

• Automatic Six-Speed DCT Transmission

The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, Honda’s 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 RPMs 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 compression braking and a more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.

• Driver/Passenger Protection

The Talon’s Occupant Protection Structure uses large-diameter tubing, and meets ROHVA’s rollover protection standard. The standard-equipment hard doors and quick-clip side nets help keep debris from entering the cabin. Auto-style three-point seatbelts are equipped with an emergency locking retractor mechanism, to help optimize passenger security.
