Lots of great features on this, and no doubt reliability will be second to none. Price and peak performance/insane factor is usually where Honda faulters though.

The best riding side by side with plenty of power. You don’t need 200hp on a sxs. I drove one of these near gatlinburg and it was a beast.

@raywebb7295 10 ай бұрын

It's definitely not the best riding, nor is it a beast. Give it about 200 miles, the gas leaks out of the rear shocks, paint will peel, you will find missing and or loose hardware. It rattles. You are right that is has plenty of power.

@@raywebb7295 coming from polaris, this thing is amazing. No belts to worry about neither. Why would the paint peal? Where are you getting this from?

@raywebb7295 10 ай бұрын

@kiddt1999 cause I was washing it with a garden hose and paint peeled off. It was 1 month old, 125 miles. At 200 miles or so, the shock starts banging. I'm informed that this is due to the nitrogen leaking out and they all do it, so now it either get them refilled and leak again or get the shrader valves put in so they don't leak.

@raywebb7295 10 ай бұрын

@kiddt1999 I almost forgot how terrible the Tallon is at climbing sand hills. The I-4WD uses a wheel speed sensor to detect wheel slip. While in I-4WD climbing a sand hill, the 4WD sends power from the left to the right tire rapidly back and forth, which causes chatter. It might be fine, but it sounds a feels bad.

I just bought a 2023 and its awesome. My rzr felt cheap and trashy compared to the talon. On paper the talon looks like its slow but it is not. My buddy who owns a can am x3 was surprised when i was able to keep on the trails.

When they offer a factory turbo, and improve the rear suspension geometry they will be closer to taking aim. For now, they are an also-ran.

The unfortunate truth…. Doing pretty decent though for being brand new machines. Polaris and can am have been honing their machines for years. The talon is decent for what it is. But being Honda, they won’t come close to a RZR or an x3. Or even a KRX for that matter

Sort of neat. However, IF I were to want a side by side, I would choose the 2doors for better break over #'s. Considering my style is more technical/crawl than going flat out. Geeza over $25K yikes! Might want to consider a cheap jeep for that price. lol Lot more comfort to it and legalized road use too.

Talons by far the best model out for side by side at the moment. Belts are guaranteed to go out and the shrapnel gets into the clutches. Honda models hit 10k with minor problems like cv axles and tie rods as any would have that problem. But you won't be dumping money into the Honda like the other brands. They all have about the same speeds and specs. So even with the extra hp coming from other models your not getting anything out of it. The Honda has 105 HP at 1400 pounds. Great power to weight ratio especially being naturally aspirated

As far as sport side by sides go, this is a base model non turbo Polaris or Can-Am with active suspension aimed at people who value "Honda quality". At a premium price. It's a really good trail machine most people will spend a lot of money upgrading only to get smoked on the regular by their buddies with turbo competitors, and probably carry the tools to fix them when they break. Honda does not have, and probably won't have, a competitive turbo side by side. Hopelessly conservative. The company that created the legendary Elsinore's that changed motocross forever is a shadow of it's former self. For that kind of money just get a nice used Jeep and take your time getting to the camp spot unless you still have that young person "need for speed".

The design on all of these side by each's are shitty. Way too long of wheel base, too small of tires for the wheel base, under powered, top heavy, and shit for clearance especially along the rockers.
