2023 Honda® Talon 1000RS FOX Live ValveTHE TALON 1000RS AND TALON 1000RS FOX LIVE VALVE—YOUR NEW FAVORITE SIDE-BY-SIDESOffering the same great features as our 2022 Talon 1000R, the 2023 Talon 1000RS and Talon 1000RS FOX Live Valve continue to make a good time even better. Both our Talon 1000RS models share the same powerful, Honda designed and built high-output engine, quick-shifting gear-driven automatic DCT transmission, and exclusive i-4WD technology. With its long-travel suspension and wider vehicle track, the Talon 1000RS is a superior choice for drivers who tackle rugged, wide-open terrain, and the Talon 1000RS FOX Live Valve adds premium active suspension.Features may include:ENGINEPOWERFUL 999cc TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINESport side-by-sides need power, and you’re sure to find that the Talon 1000RS offers plenty of it. The Talon 1000RS’ 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 no other side-by-side can match.UNICAM CYLINDER HEAD DESIGNThe Talon 1000RS’s 999cc liquid-cooled inline twin uses the same proven Unicam®?cylinder head design found in our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser. That helps make the engine more compact, which lets us position it for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance.CHASSISCHASSIS DIMENSIONSThe Talon 1000RS’s 92.7-inch wheelbase contributes to this sport side-by-side’s tracking, and also gives you a super-smooth ride. At 68.4 inches wide and longer than the Talon 1000XS, it places an emphasis on high-speed tracking and gives excellent control in whoops and rough terrain.DRIVETRAINAUTOMATIC SIX-SPEED DCT TRANSMISSIONThe convenience of an automatic with the strength, control, and efficiency of a manual, our 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 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 engine braking and more efficient power delivery than a belt-driven CVT.i-4WDThe Talon 1000RS showcases the second generation of our exclusive i-4WD system, specifically tuned to respond quicker and capable of delivering even more drive force. Think “i” for “intelligent,” because that’s exactly what it is. An industry-first brake-traction control system for side-by-sides, it simplifies operation, increases drivability and optimizes available traction. Based on proven, advanced technology from our automotive division, you get the benefits associated with a locked front differential with none of the downsides. That means it helps maintain front-wheel traction even if one wheel wants to spin on ice or mud or if it’s in a hole. But at the same time, you get the lighter steering, better tracking at high speeds, tighter turning radius, and reduced kickback associated with unlocked front differentials. Special software tunes the i-4WD system for sport use.DESIGNADJUSTABLE DRIVER’S SEATHonda has a ton of data and experience on seats, thanks to our auto division. And while just about every sport side-by-side has an adjustable driver’s seat, only the Talon gets it right. Designed to fit a wide range of operators, it also locks positively in position without wobble, helping make you feel more connected to the vehicle.
