For their first dabble in the sport SxS class id personally give Honda a thumbs up! This is just the beginning of the Talon! Who knows where it’ll go from here.... Turbos? 4-seaters? 72” or 50” Talons???? Good job Honda!!!

Yes they have with problems of overheating and not shifting correctly.

[@tjshine8022]

Except they have no business charging that much for the 1st Generation! Just like Polaris 08' 800 were only $12K until they fixed the suspension and power problems, then they got to $20K. In a couple of years after Honda fixes all the bugs, then rack up the price.

[@pajamatime5750]

TJ Shine I hear ya. Although the 2008 rzr is no where near the current models.... And they aren’t $8000 more either.... In Canada I can buy a current 900 rzr 50” wide for only about $3500 more then the ‘08 retailed for.... And that includes power steering, better shocks, better tires and much better refinement overall....

[@xziang]

Nice video and thanks for producing. May want to mention some more info about the drivetrain next time. Obviously 4x4 with front axles (plus is there even a 2x4 UTV now a days) but what about engaging 4x4 or is it an automatic system? Also no mention on differentials, locking/non etc. Still loved the video and the comparison between the two. For my use if I were ever to get a UTV it would be the pioneer. Btw heck of a price tag on it in Canada!!

[@TFLoffroad]

Appreciate the feedback. And there is a story behind this. As you noticed, the in-Talon audio wasn't the best. Well, about 3/4 of the way through me driving and talking, the mic cut out altogether, as something got disconnected. It's always tough to get clean stuff when you're out ripping around. My entire piece on the Talon's I-4WD system was lost. But I have good news: I'll be getting a Talon 1000X to test on my trails here in Ontario this spring. And I'll not only dive deeper into the 4WD system, but I'll run it through the mud and see how it holds up. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

[@trumprules4793]

great video. thanks man

[@jamesc7925]

I have a 2021 R. The stock suspension was so stiff it made me sick every time I drove it. I had new springs installed and the shocks rebuilt and now I love it.

[@doc_teamwaxoffroad]

great vid. getting a red R.

[@factoryrep8811]

Great video! Looks like the Talon is under powered and no room for us bigger guys. I could see your knees very close to the wheel and an even tighter fit than even the RZR. It also looked as if the suspension was "Bucking" in the rear while taking the whoops. The thing that Honda wins is reliability. All Honda power plants will last for years!

[@AaronCook83]

Exactly which vehicle was the 1000X again? Switching what the red vehicle is after the first shots...

[@DadsDomain]

I just sat in one and I'm 6'2" as well, I was disappointed at the way my knees were kept up too high. Come on Honda this is the American market, we need room!

[@johnnytorres277]

If they make it too big then it wont fit on the trails. The whole point of a side by side is that you can take it on very narrow trails that tear up off road cars. It sounsd like an old Jeep CJ or TJ is better for you.

[@charterd]

love this machine , i wish i would have enough money to buy one

[@mr.rem2609]

Damn...I'm still sporting my 2011 Polaris rzr 900xp with 88hp. Even with 88hp it runs great!!!

[@denisleblanc4506]

Can't wait to see how these stand up to eastern trails. Unlike the YXZ it has low range and it also has a unique brake based front diff. It will be interesting how everything stands up to trail abuse and drivetrain shock. I've seen abusive videos where YXZ clutches failed (but they have improved it somewhat with a lower first gear.) The Talon's low range will help mitigate this problem. Many with CVT belts failing in about 400 miles with lots of drags and oversized tires. How will the DCT handle oversized tires? You have to respect Honda for keeping the power level almost reasonable. Eastern riders don't need 150HP nowhere here to use that kind of power legally or even vaguely safely. Interesting days ahead in SXS world.

[@WooleySwampAdventures]

With the rear shocks mounted outbound of the trailing arms, Honda won't even commit to them being able to run 30's, hence the tiny little 28's. Not a chance fitting 32's like on a stock XP Rzr or CanAm.

[@OutworldEmperor]

@@WooleySwampAdventures you ever stop to think that they did this on purpose to ensure reliability? Lol

[@WooleySwampAdventures]

Really? You can ask that with a straight face, first upgrade almost anyone with any machine does is larger tires, especially with a sport machine. Not saying that this is a bad machine, it’s not, it’s a great first offering, just being honest about it’s shortcomings as well.

[@OutworldEmperor]

@@WooleySwampAdventures i wasnt asking anything. It was a sarcastic statement. They did it on purpose to ensure reliability of their product. Honda is known to do this with their setups because that reliability is what their reputation is built on

[@denisleblanc4506]

@@WooleySwampAdventures I wasn't very clear in my reply. What I meant to say is that on some channels they were burning belts pretty quickly but that might have been because of oversized tires and a lot of drags. In addition most of them had tunes and overboost. So not saying the CVT's are terrible just it will be interesting to see if DCT's hold up better is all. Relax

[@kbmotorsportsonline]

I'm a honda fan but their current ATV lineup isn't anything to brag about after they discountied the TRX450R and 400X. I always thought the Turbo S was the easiest SxS to travel quickly it's very confidence inspiring and never thought it was trying to kill me.

[@cbr600rrturbo]

So true honda has been pissing me off, bring back the race quads!!

[@gmcwayoflife]

A lot of us have that love-hate relationship right now with Honda over their sport quad ATVs. The reason they discontinued them was dealers couldn't sell new machines because the used market was so flooded no one was going to pay 2, 3 , or 4 times the price used just to buy new. I'll have to talk to my insider about it, but I'm pretty sure if you don't see them come back this year they'll be back next year. If you look across the board, Honda has completely revamped all phases of their powersports division. They've come out with a ton of wildly popular new motorcycles, dirt bikes, and dual sports. They focused next on the side by side market because of how much more profitable they are (which the dealers desperately needed), and the used 400/450 atv market is starting to dry up a little so I think they may give it one more year and by then have some super exciting machines for us. If their stuff wasn't so reliable they probably wouldn't be on this situation. Trust me though, there are tons of people (myself included) who share the same sentiment with you. I'll talk to my insider friend to see if he knows anything. He knew almost 2 years before the Talon came out that Honda was working on a new sport side by side

[@blazeking2854]

Could you tell me the name and brand of the helmet you were using?

[@j_roddaboss2257]

How does the R seating position and leg room feel compared to the X? Are they the same? Do you have more in the R since it’s longer? I’m 5’10” so if your not “uncomfortable” at 6’2” then I should be fine but I’m a big boy so I’m asking!

[@rhinorider121]

The cabs are the same from the X to the R, the difference in length comes from suspension

[@aarononymous2685]

I think the term side by side refers to the occupants sitting side by side, so I wouldn't call the pilot or odyssey a SxS.

[@Ratkill9000]

You can't really compare those gems to anything really. They created a class. Sure they were 2wd, but a locked or spool 2wd will go much further than an open 4x4.

[@swhalstead]

I feel like most of the complaints people have about the cvt belts not lasting could be eliminated if they properly took the time to break them in properly.

[@len9483]

You can'y break in a cvt belt, sorry. Razr 900 XP owner in Arizona here.

[@KriegerKrieg]

So I know this is a SXS not a lawn mower, but I own a lawn care business and Honda mowers are ok but they are expensive, complicated, and have protected dealer networks that make parts and repairs outrageously expensive. Is it the same for their ATV's? I had Honda mowers but went with exmark walk behinds as they were cheaper overall and cut better, and I can order parts online. Just wondering if that is the same with their ATV's, they are built well but more than anything you pay for the name.

[@gmcwayoflife]

No. Honda ATVs, motorcycles, and dirt bikes have a great reputation for reliability and also parts tend to cost less than direct competitors because they sell more units (not always). Not sure what machines you were using for walk behinds, but the reason their push mowers cost a little more was because they lasted a lot longer. We used to see plenty of Hondas over 15 years old at the small engine shop I used to work at as a parts manager/service writer. The only cost issue I ever saw on the Hondas was the price of replacement tires and replacement parts for the riding mowers (which are very obscure). The replacement tires were just as much as a new unit, but we found an aftermarket supplier who offered quality replacements at a fraction of the Honda cost.

[@KriegerKrieg]

@@gmcwayoflife I had HRC216's with blade brakes. The transmissions went out and were like 400 bucks each. I run exmark now which is Toro commercial. And they are miles ahead of honda on build quality. Parts are also cheaper. I think hondas are respectable but are not built to be used commercially.

In the 80s and 90s ATV manufacturers thought they were giving the right amount of power. Now by today's ATVs standard those yester-year models are pretty weak.

Honda's also put down the power reliably. our pioneer 1000 with 77hp is quicker than our Maverick turbo ever was. Honda will always offer lower power, but a real transmission. Making 160hp is great, but the cvt isn't putting that down and it's unreliable.

[@vampov]

Having the most HP doesn't make a vehicle better or even better in a race "Suzuki Hayabusa" can get smoked by a lower power bike.

Ya honda made a good step in the right direction but compared to a rzr or a maverick still not close i mean the radio in the honda pretty much sums it up lol and don’t say ima honda a hater bc i own 2 honda Forman four wheelers and their great always reliable and own a rzr not a guy who is brand loyal just like to get what works best

Button on the center stack..? You mean the center console or dash.? EDIT:. This was a great show and thank you for sharing. But, you remind me too much of that guy Ian on Power Block TV the truck show on the weekends... sorry I'm just not a fan of him.

For similar performance the talon comes in at 20k and the rzr xp 1000 comes in at 18k obviously the rzr is going to sell more they're too close performance wise to justify 2k and that's the talon not the higher performance version.

I’ll stick to my two streel legal Suzuki Samurai’s. My solid axle drivetrain is mich more durable, and my built sammy has plenty of power. I paid for my zuks less then you can buy one of these for. And parts are cheap in comparison.
