2024 Honda® Talon 1000R
RULE YOUR RIDEYear after year, our Talon lineup shows the off-road community just how good a sport side-by-side can be. No other sport UTV offers the level of refinement Honda brings to the game. Our Talon 1000R and 1000R FOX Live Valve are premier two-seaters designed for wide-open spaces and high-performance driving. Both feature our liquid-cooled 999cc Honda Unicam engine and our automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) driveline. With the Talon 1000R FOX Live Valve you also get a premium, automatically adjusting active suspension package. And don’t forget to check out the rest of our Talon line—if you’re looking for a Talon specially tailored for tighter trails, then check out our Talon 1000X, Talon 1000X FOX Live Valve and four-seat Talon models.
Features may include:
ENGINE- POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE
Sport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find the Talon 1000R offers plenty of it. The Talon 1000R’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. Rubber mounted, longitudinally positioned in the chassis, and managed by our sophisticated PGM-FI engine-mapping system, it delivers the kind of refinement and dependability no other side-by-side can match.
- SMOOTHER THROTTLE CONTROL
The Talon 1000R offers excellent, smooth throttle control—just what you want when you already have one of the best engines in the side-by-side world. You’ll really appreciate it in rock-crawling situations, but really, you’re going to like it more everywhere.
CHASSIS- FOX LIVE VALVE 2.5 SHOCKS
On the Talon 1000R Fox Live Valve, these shocks incorporate FOX’s automatically adjusting Live Valve technology. The shocks are constantly changing their compression damping (each shock independently, in real time) for all four wheels. You get less body roll in corners, a smoother ride through whoops, and more resistance to bottoming—a deluxe ride overall.
- SHORTER WHEELBASE
The 2024 Talon 1000R has a short, 90.0-inch wheelbase. That does two things: it makes this Talon more responsive, and also shortens up the turning radius. It’s still a bit longer than the Talon 1000X’s so you get excellent high-speed tracking and control in whoops and rough terrain, as well as a super-smooth ride.
DRIVETRAIN- AUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT TRANSMISSION
The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, our exclusive Honda gear-driven 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 RPM 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 shifting for you. In addition, you also get genuine engine braking and more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT
DESIGN- FULL-COVERAGE HARD DOORS
The Talon 1000R's hard doors are standard equipment, and offer full coverage and excellent weather protection, especially when crossing through mud or water. An added bonus: they offer more storage too, with additional cupholders in each door along with secure storage compartments. Plus, the doors use an automotive-style double-latch design that’s secure and rattle-free.
