2026 Honda Talon 1000R FOX LIVE VALVE Matte Forged Bronze Wide-open fun When you’re behind the wheel of a Talon 1000R FOX Live Valve, you’re traveling first class in one of the most awesome sport side-by-sides out there. Features like our exclusive 999cc Unicam® engine, automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission, and premium FOX Live Valve advanced semi-active suspension team up for spectacular real-world performance and handling. Taller 30-inch tires this year make it even better, and of course nobody can match our famous Honda engineering and build quality. Talon 1000R FOX Live Valve With our 999cc liquid-cooled Unicam® engine, automatic DCT, and over 17 inches of independent front suspension travel, the Talon 1000R FOX Live Valve rules the wide-open off-road playground. Features May Include: Powerful 999cc twin-cylinder engine - You’ll experience unparalleled power with our liquid-cooled 999cc parallel-twin engine, boasting high horsepower, ample torque, and unmatched refinement 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, long-duration camshaft - Giving the engine a high-lift, long-duration camshaft improves its breathing and yields 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 bore size - Our engineers gave the engine twin 46mm throttle bores for better breathing and airflow, complementing the potent camshaft specs. You'll feel and hear the difference when you hit the throttle. High-flow fuel injectors - Increasing the amount of air and fuel results in more power. This engine delivers exceptional off-road performance and is equipped with a hot cam, throttle body, and high-flow fuel injectors. Semi-dry-sump lubrication - The semi-dry-sump design keeps engine oil away from the crankshaft. It ensures more positive oiling under extreme conditions, eliminating windage losses and ensuring better oiling under extreme driving conditions. Engine air intake - Clean air is vital for optimal engine performance. Our design places the air filter high over the engine in the rear and the air intake off to the side to promote a constant supply of clean air. Dual-pin offset crankshaft - By offsetting the cylinders’ two crankpins by 270 degrees, the engine delivers a broad 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 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 - Cutting-edge semi-active FOX suspension that dynamically adjusts compression damping for each wheel. This system offers reduced body roll, smoother terrain navigation, and superior resistance to bottoming. New, larger 30-inch tires - You asked for them, and here they are. This year, we gave it taller 30-inch tires for more ground clearance and better handling, especially over rough trails. Independent front suspension - Dual A-arm suspension gives you 17.6 inches of front travel. Pair that with stellar ground clearance, and you understand why the SxS handles so well and is so comfortable in rough terrain. 4+ link rear suspension - Honda's 4+ link rear suspension provides superior handling by maintaining wheel geometry even with 20.1 inches of travel. This ensures that the rear wheels' toe changes only slightly throughout the entire stroke, improving chassis stability under extreme suspension deflection. Weight bias - A slight rear weight bias works best for optimal sport driving. This is why we set up the Talons with 44% of their weight over the front and 56% over the rear. Longer wheelbase - The 90.0-inch wheelbase contributes to this sport side-by-side’s impressive stability and control. It's slightly longer than the Talon 1000X and provides excellent high-speed tracking and a smooth ride on rough terrain. High-performance brake
