Performance, reliability, and next-level trail confidence — the Talon delivers.
If you’re in the research phase of buying your next high-performance side-by-side, the Honda Talon series absolutely deserves your attention. Whether you’re tearing up trails, crawling over rocks, or just out for a weekend of fun with friends, the Talon lineup brings a rare combination of precision engineering, durability, and raw off-road capability. At Big Dog Powersports in Wichita, Kansas, we don’t sell the Talon — but we service, maintain, and upgrade them for riders who demand the best.
So, what makes the Honda Talon series stand out?
Built for Performance, Tuned for Confidence
From the moment you punch the throttle, the Talon’s performance pedigree becomes obvious. The heart of the beast is Honda’s legendary 999cc parallel-twin engine, tuned for responsive power delivery across a wide RPM range. It’s quick, reliable, and built to last — everything you’d expect from Honda.
One of the defining features of the Talon is its Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT) — a rare find in the SxS world. This gives you the precision of manual shifting when you want it and the ease of automatic when you don’t. You’ll feel more connected to the machine, with crisp gear changes and better engine braking on descents. Plus, it means no belts to replace — a huge win in both reliability and maintenance.
Suspension That Doesn’t Quit
If you’re chasing comfort and control over rough terrain, look no further than the Talon’s long-travel suspension. Models like the Talon 1000R and Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve are equipped with advanced suspension setups that adapt on the fly to changing terrain. The Live Valve tech continuously adjusts damping — so you get plush absorption on bumps without sacrificing cornering performance. It’s a smarter suspension system, and your spine will thank you.
Trail-Tested Reliability with Honda DNA
UTV owners know that reliability matters — especially when you’re miles from the trailhead. The Talon carries Honda’s reputation for dependability into the world of sport SxS machines. Fewer mechanical headaches mean more ride time, and when service is needed, it’s typically straightforward and cost-effective compared to some other high-performance brands.
Style, Comfort, and Tech to Match
It’s not just a machine — it’s your weekend escape pod. The Talon’s aggressive styling, roomy cockpit, and solid ergonomics make it a joy to drive all day. Honda includes thoughtful features like full LED lighting, comfortable seating, and high-quality fit and finish that holds up over time.
For riders who love tech, models like the Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve feature cutting-edge suspension, customizable drive modes, and clever integrations that help you tune your ride exactly how you like it.
