2019 Honda Talon 1000X

Optimized for Precision

At 64-inches wide and with an 87.6-inch wheelbase, the Honda Talon 1000X is designed to be maneuverable and precise.

Both the Talon 1000X and the Talon 1000R share the same powerful, high-output engine, Automatic DCT Transmission, and I-4WD technology package. It also uses a three-link rear suspension, which makes it a natural for owners who prioritize maneuverability and quick handling.

Its 2.0-inch body Fox Podium Quick Switch 3 shocks (QS3) have 5/8-inch shafts and combine with the double-wishbone front-suspension design and 3 Link rear system to offer suspension travel of 14.6 and 15.1 inches, front and rear. The one-piece frame is designed to retain consistent geometry even when pushed under the hardest loads, for a controlled, confidence-inspiring ride.

A performance-tuned 999cc four-valve Unicam® parallel-twin engine works with Honda’s high-tech, geared Dual Clutch Transmission (DCT), which offers two automatic modes (Drive and Sport), plus Manual with steering-column-mounted paddle shifters. Honda’s I-4WD, the powersports industry’s first and only brake traction-control system, manages the amount of slip between the front wheels in four-wheel drive, and electronic brakeforce distribution strategically optimizes brakeforce to the most effective wheels during braking in two-wheel drive.

Hill-start assist temporarily holds the vehicle in place when stopped on an ascent, simplifying the process of resuming motion. The Talon 1000X is expected to be on dealer floors in spring of 2019, and colors will include Pearl Red/Metallic Gray; Metallic Gray/Metallic Blue. Pricing information will be announced in January.
