2022 Honda Talon range boosted to six units with plenty of changes to improve comfort and convenience.

Honda today announced its 2022 Talon 1000 sport side-by-side lineup, comprising of standard and FOX Live Valve iterations of the Talon 1000R, Talon 1000X and Talon 1000X-4. The six-version family benefits from a number of upgrades for the new model year, many of which are focused on comfort and convenience changes to the driver/passenger cabin.

Platform-wide Talon improvements for 2022 include a relocated meter with improved visibility; extended shift paddles for easier manual gear changes during dynamic driving; better mud protection via seat sealing; revised ignition timing for smoother transitions from deceleration to acceleration; updated styling; improved i-4WD and a pre-wired switch panel to facilitate installation of electronic accessories.

“We’re pleased to bring important updates to the Talon 1000 family for 2022,” said Brandon Wilson, American Honda Manager of Sports & Experiential. “Produced in the USA, the Talon is the industry’s only sport side-by-side platform to offer technology like an automatic Dual Clutch Transmission and i-4WD, and it’s also proving itself in competition, with class wins in the most recent editions of the Baja 1000, King of the Hammers and Mint 400. With Honda’s renowned durability, quality and reliability, plus significant upgrades to improve the driving experience, the Talon is better than ever.”

Though it shares the same one-piece frame as the 1000R two-seaters, the Talon 1000X has a different vehicle width and wheelbase – 64.0 inches and 87.6 inches, respectively. Also assisting in that regard is the suspension configuration, which results in front and rear wheel-travel figures of 14.6 and 15.1 inches. As with the R versions, the X is available in a FOX Live Valve trim level that has the same dimensions and suspension arrangement as the standard X, but with high-tech self-adjusting suspension.
