Talon 1000X
TALON 1000X for Sale at Honda Frankston in Carrum Downs, VIC | Specifications and Review Information
The Talon range offers something for everyone. Available in both two- and four-seat models, and with a choice of FOX Q3S manually adjustable suspension or with our revolutionary self-adjusting FOX Live Valve suspension option. All share the same powerful, Honda designed and built high-output engine, quick-shifting dual clutch transmission, and exclusive i-4WD technology. The "R" models are built for wide-open spaces, with longer wheelbase, a wider track, and longer suspension travel, while the "X" models are a great choice for tight trails, being a bit shorter and narrower. And there is also the Talon 1000X-4 if you want to bring more friends along to the ride.

999cc PARALLEL TWIN ENGINE
The performance-tuned 999cc Unicam® parallel-twin engine features a 270-degree cross-plane crankshaft. It is mounted longitudinally in the frame, eliminating unnecessary right angles in the driveline so that an efficient transfer of power to the rear wheels is possible, resulting in strong acceleration. High capacity cooling fan and radiator keep the engine operating within its optimum temperature range even in harsh conditions.
DISC BRAKES ON ALL WHEELS
All Talon models feature 34mm twin-piston hydraulic front callipers and 34mm single-piston rear callipers, with 250mm brake rotors at all corners. The system uses low-expansion brake hoses, resulting in precise braking feel so that drivers can effectively modulate force to suit the conditions.
MAXXIS TYRES
The 28x9-15 front and 28x11-15 rear tyres are specific to the Talon models and the result of a joint effort between Honda and Maxxis to develop ideal traction, damping, feel and wear characteristics.
MADE FOR TIGHT TRAILS
The Talon 1000X and Talon 1000X FOX Live Valve models have shorter wheelbase and narrower track compared to the Talon 1000R models, making them manoeuvrable and precise, great for tackling narrow, technical trails, that require frequent changes of direction.
OPTIONAL FOX LIVE VALVE SUSPENSION
The system delivers exceptional ride quality with reduced lateral roll and longitudinal pitch - but with no need for a ride-compromising stabilizer bar, and improved tracking and steering response. There are two suspension modes, "Normal" and "Sport". In "Normal", the shocks stay subtler to absorb small irregularities, while in "Sport" the shocks ride higher in the travel to keep more stroke in reserve for big impacts.
HILL START ASSIST
To simplify re-starting after stops on ascents, the driver has the option of pressing a Hill Start Assist button (HSA) on the dash, temporarily holding the vehicle in place without the need to apply pressure on the brake pedal. As a result, you can focus on modulating the throttle to resume motion.
ONE-PIECE FRAME
The Talon's one-piece frame was designed and developed incorporating Honda's vast off-road design knowledge to achieve optimum handling properties by maintaining appropriate levels of stiffness and compliance even when pushed under the hardest loads. As a result, the Talon behaves and responds predictability for a controlled, confidence-inspiring ride.
