2023 Honda Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve

2023 Honda® Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve

There’s big news this year, and that’s our new Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve. This new Talon really extends our Talon family line, bringing you a four-seat model built for rugged, wide-open terrain like our two-seat Talon 1000R. Plus, like the other models in our Talon line, the 2023 Honda Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve is loaded with updates: Better mud and weather protection. New full-coverage doors with more storage. New aluminum wheels. New wiring that makes adding accessories easier than ever. New accessories. New colors, and new suspension settings. Like every Talon in our lineup, it features our 999cc Honda Unicam engine and exclusive automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) driveline. And make sure your check out our other Talons too.

Sit back, hang on tight, pin the throttle, and get ready to feed your buddies some serious roost: The FOX Live Valve-equipped Honda Talons are the only side-by-sides offering both an automatic gear-driven transmission and launch mode. You won’t believe how fast and straight you’ll come off the line–and neither will the other guys.

The convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual. Use the paddle shifters, or kick back and let it do the thinking for you. Either way, you get genuine engine braking and a more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.

Features may include:

• POWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Sport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find the Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve offers plenty of it. The Talon 1000R-4’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 our sophisticated PGM-FI engine-mapping system, it delivers the kind of refinement and dependability no other side-by-side can match.

• FOX LIVE-VALVE 2.5 SHOCKS

On the Talon 1000R-4 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.

• 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 thinking for you. In addition, you also get genuine engine braking and more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.

• STADIUM SEATING

  • The Talon 1000R-4 FOX Live Valve features stadium seating for the rear passengers: compared to the front seats their seats are set almost three inches higher and two inches closer to each other, which gives those passengers a much better field of view. They’re not just looking at a pair of helmets in front of them—they get to enjoy the ride like everyone else. Forget about first class and coach—everyone rides first class in a four-seat Talon.
