2026 Honda Talon 1000X-4 FOX LIVE VALVE Pearl Red Four seats, endless thrills Epic days on the trail are even better if you can share them. Which, of course, is why we make the Talon 1000X-4. Built especially for tighter, more technical trails, its 999cc Unicam® engine gives you excellent power, made even better because you also get our unique automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT). Seating for four lets you share the shred. Bonus points for our available FOX Live Valve model, with premium suspension. Isn’t it time you discover just how good life can be when you step up to a Honda? Features May Include: Powerful 999cc twin-cylinder engine - Experience unparalleled power with our liquid-cooled 999cc Unicam® inline-twin engine, boasting high horsepower, big torque, and unmatched refinement and reliability throughout the rpm range. Unicam® cylinder head design - Using the same proven Unicam® cylinder head design found in our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser helps make the engine more compact, allowing us to position it for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance. High-lift camshaft - Giving the engine a camshaft with a higher lift and longer duration improves its performance. This enhances the powerplant's breathing, resulting in more power throughout the rpm range. Roller rocker arms - Roller-tip rocker arms in the valve train reduce engine friction, improve efficiency, and increase power output at higher revs. Large throttle bodies - Our engineers gave the engine twin 46mm throttle bodies for better breathing and airflow, complementing the potent camshaft specs. You'll feel and hear the difference when you hit the loud pedal. High-flow fuel injectors - More air plus more fuel equals more power. With the hot cam, throttle body, and high-flow fuel injectors, the engine is the total package for off-road performance. Semi-dry-sump lubrication - Preventing oil from reaching the crankshaft eliminates windage losses, while the semi-dry-sump design ensures better engine lubrication and longer life, especially in extreme driving conditions. Engine air intake - To ensure your engine gets the cleanest air possible, we positioned the air filter high over the engine in the rear and the air intake off to the side. Dual-pin offset crankshaft - By offsetting the cylinders’ two crankpins by 270 degrees, the engine delivers a wide powerband and abundant torque, while counterbalancers help keep everything running smoothly. Tuned exhaust - An equally tuned exhaust system is necessary for improved intake and fuel delivery. This exhaust system produces beautiful mechanical exhaust notes and ensures smooth and even engine power delivery. High-capacity cooling system - When it comes to challenging terrains like rock crawling, deserts, dunes, and high altitudes, your side-by-side's cooling can be put to the test. That's why we equipped all of our Talons with a high-capacity system. Oil-jet pistons - Squirting oil onto the underside of the pistons helps them run cooler and seal better. This combination allows the pistons to live longer and helps the engine make more power. Rubber-mounted engine and exhaust - In addition to the suspension, we rubber-mounted the engine and exhaust system to insulate the cabin against excessive vibration. We also gave the engine four mounts to add strength under high loads. FOX Live Valve 2.5 Shocks - The FOX Live Valve model features cutting-edge semi-active suspension that utilizes FOX's adaptive valve technology, dynamically adjusting compression damping for each wheel in real-time. Enjoy reduced body roll, smoother terrain navigation, and superior resistance to bottoming. Independent front suspension - Dual A-arm suspension gives you 14.6 inches of travel in the front. Pair that with the stellar ground clearance, and you begin to understand why they handle rough terrain so well. 3-link rear suspension - A 3-link trailing-arm rear suspension is one of the secrets to its precise handling, while a generous 15 inches of rear-wheel travel helps give you a smooth ride and superior control. Shorter wheelbase - The X-models have a shorter 116.4-inch wheelbase, which contributes to this side-by-side’s agility and excellent handling in rough terrain. Weight bias - For optimal sport driving, a slight rear weight bias works best. This is why we set up the Talons with 44% of their weight over the front and 56% over the rear. Dual-rate springs - The suspension springs provide a soft initial travel but resist bottoming, delivering a comfortable ride and supreme control - the best of both worlds. Electric Power Steering - Honda's Electric Power Steering (EPS) technology is continually improving. It eliminates bump steer, reduces fatigue, and provides added assistance in 4WD, lower speeds, and rough conditions. The system is specially tuned for sport-driving, and there are no belts or pumps to slip, break, or leak. High-performance disc brakes
