I had this dimella for months before I picked up the Honda. The CVT power loss was the final decision maker. So much more confident in the throttle with the honda. 6 moths and 500 miles in I had 0 complaints about my honda.

If the 4 seater happens I’m definitely on board. If not I’ll probably get a talon x4

The krx motor is based off the h2 street bike motor obviously detuned but they have the same ability to bolt up the h2 super charger so we can only hope they had that in mind for later models.

The intelligent four wheel drive is nice that you don’t have to switch in and out. The bad thing is it won’t engage until you spin.

[@spyder000069]

While these are in a whole different category I ended up passing them up and buying a yamaha wolverine x2 xtr this year. We needed something that had a little more utility that we could use around our 5 acre property. Otherwise unless you live next to trails its a lot of money to spend on a toy you just occasionally use. If you can put it to work here and there it helps you justify it. Its been good for our style trail riding as well. The one thing I don't like about the x2 is the full time locked rear axle. I cringe every time my wife cuts a tight turn on pavement and you watch it scrub and bind a tire. If honda would update their pioneer line with sportier version that included the turf mode and still had low range I would consider trading in the x2.

[@loveistheanswer8137]

My 2020 pioneer deluxe 1000 5 has low range and turf mode.

[@spyder000069]

@@loveistheanswer8137 I am a honda guy with 3 honda atv's, a street bike, and a dirt bike. I was going to go for the pioneer but there were too many recalls on the pioneer for me to feel safe in buying one. Plus the yamaha was touted as being quieter and with better suspension and slightly sportier. I will say the yamaha has been reliable but I will probably be looking at selling it for a more sport oriented machine. With some time now using it we tend to grab an atv for our work around the place and on the trails the wolverine leaves you wanting more suspension travel and a softer ride. I don't think it will be a talon though as people say the polaris is the better riding machine. A polaris might leave me stranded but maybe I won't have a sore back on the walk out of the woods.

Thank you for these great comparison videos! I really want to buy a Talon but need to make sure it’s the correct machine for me. I love the fact it uses gears rather than a belt. I want a 4 passenger so I imagine the extra length will prevent the rear from kicking up. The Polaris General XP 4 passenger could be a possible contender also. I like that you can tow with it if I need to move my trailers around my property.

I have a Talon 1000X. Let’s just say it’s TIGHT. If you’re looking for a plush ride, with a smooth throttle feel, it isn’t for you. However…. If you like feeling connected, and engaged with your machine, you’ll love it. The throttle response is instant. I also like hearing the mechanical gear shifts, especially when paddle shifting. I love mine, but they’re probably not for everyone.

I didn't think the KRX was designed for high speed offroading. They didn't equip it with a turbo and the power it has must first go through a centrifugal wet clutch. That gives the CVT super smooth engagement for rock crawling and technical trails.

[@Rick_Sanchez_C137_]

Yeah, I’m looking at em thinking that they each would hold a small spike from Arkansas or Alaska, but a big buck with a rack wouldn’t fit, and the spare tire rack on the kawi is in the way if the spare is there, but might be easier to strap the deer to if no tire in the way.

@@simpsonrdlarry4385 polaris and Can-Am's are both high power v-twins, and most ride them hard. And what exactly is Honda winning? I think all brands have their pros and cons. I'd rather hand shovel than to deal with the bs of backing up on a Honda plowing snow. Even Honda owners tell me they don't want to plow on their Honda's. Imo, Suzuki takes the win for reliability, 5000km and zero issues, i Ly did fluid changes. They seem to be on track for fixing bump steer and just added composite racks for 2021. And lastly, polaris sells more vehicles than everyone, so yeah, mathematically there will be more in the shop. And I know more people with Honda issues. But I've never seen or heard of any other brand having 1 ATV in the shop in the double digits for the same handful of issues. It limps after going through a 1/2" puddle, pod lights flashing like mad. Going up hill the transmissions doesn't know what to do for gearing and shifts too much are just 2 examples, and the dealership says it's normal and to manually shift uphill. At the end if the day they all have their quirks and issues, but Honda is not the king of reliability it once was. Nor is it the best at anything.

Just picked up a 2021 KRX with 107 miles and tested it out in the mountains. I was quite impressed. the hill climbs it was able to achieve with no slippage ! Paid approx. 18 k did I do good ? Put 30 miles on it so hopefully previous owner didn’t beat on it too bad ! 🤷🏻‍♂️

While the RMAXX is more of a woods machine the krx can be a woods machine,desert racer, and is also a great rock crawler. I'm not ragging on the RMAXX at all because I am actually torn between the RMAXX and the KRX. I have land in southern Ohio so the RMAXX would be perfect but on the other hand the KRX is well rounded for everything. I don't need to go 100 mph so the RMAXX being faster isn't a selling point for me. The dump bed would be nice but the bed on the KRX is just as big just non dumping. I honestly love them both...but they are two different machine for different purposes...KRX is a pure sport where as the RMAXX is sport utility. KRX suspension would be plush in the woods and at high speed whoops..RMAXX would be soft in the woods but not so much at high speed desert trails.. so when I say not the same ball park it's basically because are meant for different uses. Although the KRX could be used as a semi utility purpose the RMAXX could never be pure sport.

The softer the suspension the less reliable it is. Just the way it is. Talons are built to thrash. And when you put a turbo on them they go up to 200 hp. And handle it with ease.

I'm going to reply to every Honda reliability comments as it's just not an argument anymore. I've said it many times, I know people with huge Honda issues. And all manufacturers have issues. And the bigger names get bigger criticism, but when they sell 2x the units, often their stats are lower on average. And fyi, I had a KQ, same year as the person I know who has the most Honda issues. I had 5000km before trading it in, no issues and I ran it hard, and plowed snow. No ody with a hi da wants to do the bs that is backing up. Now plow with a Honda and you'll hate your life. I also have a Polaris and an Arctic Cat. Neither major issues, just shock bushings in the AC needed replacing.

[@benharris2490]

They all have issues. Anything made by humans will have them. Honda does a really good job of controlling. Them. I work in repair at a major auto manufacturer of one the most reliable car companies and you wouldn't believe the stuff we fix to try to achieve that

[@EC_ATV_Outdoors]

@@benharris2490 agreed, and I come from automotive and manufacturing, and the reality is, most don't make their parts, they contract them out with their specs and then they just assemble them. I worked for companies that make parts for all names. And that's why you usually see a specific issue, the issue is with the supplying company making an out of spec part. And since I'm from this, I can tell you quality is fairly universal these days, because the company that made the Honda part also made the Polaris, Can-Am, and Arctic Cat part.

Think you need to test the cfmoto zforce 950 sport.

[@TruckKing]

When they make one available to us - we will.

Chinese Junk

[@kungfucommando1642]

Neither of them is as stone-cold awesome to drive as my RS1. I do prefer the Honda dct to drive over the cvt of the Polaris, but not to service or repair! If I break a belt on the trail, I can fix it in ten minutes and be back in operation. All around, I think Polaris has it over both of these. The RS1 has it over any of the other Polaris models.

[@46GarageUSA]

You mentioned how tall you are but what weight are you ? I'm wondering at 310 lbs and 6 foot will my fast ass fit the Honda lol

[@TruckKing]

About that

[@ptw783]

6’2 350 fit in a talon today.

[@sideskraft]

You said "all the major brands", but you didn't mention Suzuki. I wonder if they're working on one or more SXS machines?

[@TruckKing]

We wonder too. They don't seem to be doing too much these days.

[@TheBandit7613]

@@TruckKing Suzuki, at the dealers show in 2019, told them, "do not ask about a SxS, we are not going to make one" Suzuki sales continue to fall. What's new for Suzuki in 2021? Fresh new graphics, the same as the last several years. I'm friends with an owner of a shop that sells Suzuki. He says without Polaris, his shop would be closed. Side by side sales are his bread and butter. He's trying to add Kawasaki to his inventory. He's the one who told me Suzuki is not going to make a SxS. Looks like Suzuki needs new management.

[@04tsxpower]

Your own channel very smart. That other channel sucked. Honda build quality wins

[@04tsxpower]

@The Insufferable Tool actually I don't

[@Bill14886]

Either your microphone sucks or my ear buds sucks. Audio is crappy. Tinny voice sound, and certainly not your normal sound ?? Its your mic, second set up ear buds. Last note: Great Video as Always. I think I'd choose the same.

[@tomweaver7723]

People live in Canada?

[@collinbarlow9655]

I honestly think the only thing the krx needs is 80 more horsepower

[@MonsterZ123]

It will in January

[@keithjones3751]

No way the Kawi bone stock has 14” ground clearance especially in the rear.

[@CobraDot518]

The pictures clearly show that the Honda sits higher. This guy is definitely partial to kawi

[@Supertramp01]

Your right... it 14 in the front and 14.5 in the rear... BONE STOCK

[@joebiker5992]

Base model they do. That has a bunch of extra options on it. And that's a press demo. Prolly has 2000 miles on it with lots of trailer time being strapped down at the chassis

[@mingomane1]

@@CobraDot518 nah that’s right. The Kawi just has tender spring issues. Most owners need to replace them within the first few hundred miles because they compress so bad and lose a lot of ground clearance.

[@codythompson8883]

Honda Talon for me

[@tedfoster8476]

Is it wrong that I want it to bounce and feel out of control....

[@jasongreiner4420]

Honda 2021 1000R

[@rodneyws1977]

The biggest difference between the two has gotta be the seat belts.

[@mingomane1]

The krx harnesses are add ons. They don’t come stock.

[@ohsnapsgamingchannel9671]

That's odd here because I can get a KRX 1000 for 16-18 depending on dealer, whereas the talons like 20 I live in WV tho

[@orlandomedina3254]

I bought mine for 29 k 😭😭😭 I live in AZ

[@crossjaime4618]

Or shock settings would take care of that problem too

[@rterry2752]

Those things are WAY to top heavy.

[@jamesc7925]

Anything but Polaris

[@Switching-Cars]

i love the look orf the krx but it is not legal in are trail here they are to wide. Maximum wide is 64''

[@formuladave]

KRX is the Cadillac of SxS

[@74beeper97]

What happened to TFL???

[@TruckKing]

They went their way and I want mine. No hard feelings

[@74beeper97]

Always thought your reviews were the best on that channel. Definitely their loss. Your enthusiasm is contagious

[@nighthawkj30A4]

14:32 cup Holders 😎

[@nuffsaid6807]

Forgot Arctic Cat XX

[@danialphaomega]

@ 18:07 Just do a clutch weights kit and a tune and the KRX becomes a beast, way way better than the honda especially here in the Arizona desert 😊

[@flight2k5]

Those mosquitos though

[@derrickkimsey1921]

Wow,this is one fortunate guy. He has jobs on other channels as well.

[@TruckKing]

That was my apprenticeship - AutoGuide and TFL - now Truck King is mine.

[@dtrammell]

“The KRX made it over the rock pile easier.” How many times did you have to back up and try again in the Talon? Zero.

[@damon20r]

You might try rewatching that part. He backed down twice then completely changed his line on the third attempt in which he made it up on after a bunch of slipping around.

[@gi0zzy22]

I own a krx. He used the low power switch in which limited his climbing power/ability. The krx is slightly less powerful but makes up for it, on the trails in comfort. All so, the ability to fully lock the front diff when the driver selects it, makes for a more consistent rock crawler. The talon is a fun ride it is faster off the line, little faster on the top end. But rides like a old John deer gator compared to the Krx. Another the suspension on KRX is hands down the best designed in the industry. But don't take my word for this shock therapy has a video dedicated to this. But no matter what people pick at least there out riding. Remember peeps ride it like you stole it.
