Can Honda's Talon 4R Keep Up With The Competition? ULTIMATE UTV Experience at Ridiculous Compound!

With the recent launch of the new 2024 Can Am X3 with its wonky upper control arms and unreasonably wide track width you may find yourself looking for an alternative UTV to invest your money into this year. The new 2024 Honda Talon rocks a dual clutch transmission that allows the driver to up shift and downshift quickly using paddle shifters. The nimble yet planted UTV runs Fox live valve suspension and rocks a modest 68 inch wide track width. This narrower track with gives you the stability of wider models while still allowing you access to your favorite trails. The Honda Talon 4r was built with family adventurers in mind. The engineers wanted families to be able to explore all day long without ever having to worry about breaking down or becoming stranded somewhere. Although this isn't the most powerful machine the transmission applied power directly to the wheels quickly and I rarely felt like I needed more speed or power. The live valve fox shocks allowed me to float over large rocks with ease and I was able to adjust the firmness setting on the fly. If you like side by side action and want to see Des and I scream our faces off on this ridiculous off road course then you are going to love this episode! #hondatalon #talon4r #sidebysides

Super stoked they asked yall to come out. Really goes to show that yall are being noticed. Hope this continues !

[@Maxx.Powell]

Me too! It was a fun trip!

[@DerangedOffRoad]

The Talon is a great rig! Blew my mind how hard the Honda drivers were able to push it! They put on a great event. Great to meet you and Des out there. -Joe

[@Maxx.Powell]

Hey man. Great to meet you as well! It was nuts how hard those drivers went!

[@cornmac1796]

Dam, one of my favorite youtubers in my home state.

Great vlog! Wow, what a great park to ride! Great seeing you and your wife in a vlog together again! How are the boys doing? That looks like a pretty trick UTV Honda's built! 👍

[@Maxx.Powell]

It was awesome sharing the adventure with her. We both had a lot of fun

[@adventureoutline]

Dude Maxx this looked so fun man. I felt like I was with you and Des. 👍👍

[@Maxx.Powell]

Glad to hear it!

[@outdoor7432]

That looked like a lot of fun, and the open course riding with some trails is the way to go as opposed to just steep hills or boulder crawling!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Totally agree! It was awesome. We had such a great time

[@ricksousa3932]

The water shot's very cool.

[@Maxx.Powell]

It was so much fun too

[@ricksousa3932]

Sure did look like you guys had a blast. @@Maxx.Powell

[@matthewdeck3246]

Just paid my Honda Talon off. Great machines.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Right on man. Enjoy it!

[@V0VAn11]

Couples that go out have fun together stay together ❤️ 🎉🎉

[@Maxx.Powell]

Absolutely! It was awesome sharing this experience with my wife

[@howtobehuman969]

This reminds me of that time you tried skipping the can am in the floods of Washington.

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

Less expensive and more reliable than poolaris and cant am 🤙🏻😎 no belt to fail and rob horsepower!

[@jessewarren2689]

Definitely not less expensive. Talon is the same price as turbo models but without the same power.

[@Maxx.Powell]

I like the transmission a lot!

[@joshowens2219]

Easier to fix a belt 20 miles from the truck than a transmission. Maxxidents happen.

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

@@jessewarren2689 comes with a one year warranty instead of 6 months and service is every 1200 miles instead of 500

[@Cosmicsurfpro]

@@joshowens2219 They got the DCT transmission technology from the Honda automotive world so it's good stuff man 🤙🏻

[@Royalcrimsonstang222]

I’m here for the positive comments!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Love it! Thanks man 👊

[@MarkJones-sk6vk]

Why dont the sell the racing version as an option??? Or do they!

[@Maxx.Powell]

They said that one was going to be sold but it’s like 100k lol

[@nickmanzini2016]

Cheap ain’t cool and cool ain’t cheap.

[@andrewrenner5809]

What happened between you and Polaris?

[@Maxx.Powell]

It was weird man. They gave me a Polaris PrXp4 and then we never spoke again. I think the team that I worked with was replaced and they moved away from influencer relationships. A few others I know like Brittany and Kevin from Litebrite had the same experience

[@codychilders8307]

Damn, i live like a mile from here lol. Wish we could have fotten to ride with you. We do business with Mid America all the time.

[@Maxx.Powell]

Oh no way. I would have been down to meet up! That place was awesome!

[@toddhunt4308]

Get rid of the stupid music

[@mattbenson2497]

The biggest problem with the talon is the heat from the firewall.

[@Maxx.Powell]

I did notice that actually. It got quite hot

[@monsterhog1118]

Couldn't you just add another layer of insulation or reflective material?

[@mattbenson2497]

Dez is way better looking!!

[@Maxx.Powell]

Lol of course she is. She’s an angel. Lucky me ☺️
