Iit looks as though Honda listened to what the atv community was saying and worked hard to stuff it all in this one. I've always loved honda off road stuff. You cant beat their quality.
Looking forward to the turbo video down the road. i bet it'd be a blast to treat it like a rally car and foot brake in the turns while on the gas to keep the turbo spooled and the let the turbo hurdle you out of the corners. 😍
@@GrimRZR nothing bad. thats where i ride. just if your burning up belts your probly running in high gear to much. i run 32s on my xp1000 and most of the time im riding/climbing with jeeps with 40s. never smoked a belt. the biggest problem ive had is breaking plastic off when the dang thing rolls down the hill
@@charlespalmerii4299 This doesn't appear to be a new unit. Aftermarket wheels, tires, rear radius arms, and it had the lower door inserts. This all screams used to me. I have a '17 Pioneer 1000 which utilizes the same hood latch. Zero issues.
@@dylanyoung3258 well, in that case I better stop riding mine around the West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky mountains. Never knew the 1,700 miles on my unit were terrible.
Nice video. The only thing I can not stand is the dumb ass left leg dead pedal location that forces your leg into a uncomfortable 90 degree angle. I would hate to have my leg at that angle for the 140 mile day trips we do. A dead pedal should be directly beside the brake not six inches in front of it. Hope the aftermarket comes out with a relocation kit asap.
I notice that too. I think alot of the SXS are like that. I know my Wildcat Sport is. The other issue i have with the raised DP, is your knee tends to rest against the door frame. If you ever hit something hard, you could jam your leg, also its not very comfortable in that position.
Things are pretty sweet but I feel like the suspension looks so wimpy. Everything is so small. I have a 19 turbo but my buddy just got the new krx 1000 and all his suspension is twice the size of the rzr 1000!!
Mute the video due to crappy, distracting background music (but not hear the engine). Or watch unmuted to hear the engine, but at the same time deal with the background music that takes away from the experience. Hmmm, dilemma's, dilemma's.
@@BustedKnuckleVideo It's all good man. Just bustin' your balls a little. After reading about all the misc. problems with the Talon the last couple of months, (suspension sucks without aftermarket springs, steering issues, ect.) and then listening to the fanboys tell us all that the Talon is the perfect machine right from the dealership, I couldn't resist making my "right out of the box" comment.
I have a 2017 RZR 100XP and an 2018Honda Pioneer 1000-5. Love my RZR for trails and beating as well as hill killin. However the belt drive jerking and reaction lacks. The Honda engine, trans, and power are great. I just hate the HIGH center on the pioneer. I would love to try out the Talon to get a feel for its center. BIG issue between any Honda vs RZR is aftermarket parts. NOBODY has an extra Honda axle or ball joint just laying around. Thus why it stays on the farm and the RZR trail rides. Plus roofs, windows, hell parts in general are $$$ on the Hondas. Simply put, I want to try the Talon next but until the market has reasonable aftermarket parts and I see one or two in a race ill wait and watch..
I feel sometimes utvs are just trying into straight up buggies or mini-rails. Which honestly isn't a bad thing. I used to disk like them, but I'm starting to love them a ton
@@BustedKnuckleVideo Sorry, I missed that. I'm just surprised because I have almost 1000 miles on my Talon and the hood on mine had always stayed tight and secure.
I was not excited about the cvt set up until I bought my 2019 turbo rzr. I’m sorry there maybe power loss yes it’s a turbo but it’s so much faster to me than thumbing through gears. Can’t imagine that tranny is light weight to justify the cvt power loss. Just like drag racing cars and trying to convince a non experienced person with a built auto trans will be more consistent in shifting and speed than a manual trany. I mean seriously my machine hits its max speed of 80mph so fast. Idk the Honda is a bitching machine but I’m sold on the cvt great driveline fuse for a cheap $150 dollar belt to break. Cool video.
The belt is not the weak link, plenty of racers break all kinds of parts including transmissions before the belt lets go, and this is a auto or paddle shift trans in the Talon so you don't have to "thumb" through gears.
it looses the same amount of power. about 25 percent. the cvt doesn't slip. power loss comes from rotating mass or slippage. a cvt works like a torque converter in that it stalls and flashes the engine to a peak power band. in most cases it out performs an automatic or a standard. the only reason it might loose less power is tire size
@@BustedKnuckleVideo thats fine but its been proven on dynos across america. everyone argued the same thing on the yxz. they all loose around 25 percent. the talon has 104 hp at the crank and 81 hp at the wheels. vertually identical to all the rest. if your belt isnt slipping your not wasting power. just like if your clutch isnt slipping your not wasting power. 99 percent of power loss is from gears spinning in transmission/diffs,driveshafts,axles,wheels,and tires. this theary was debunked years ago.
@@BustedKnuckleVideo and to touch a little deeper a good cvt is allways in the correct geer and in essence it has an endless combination of gears and it will shift through many different ratios in the amount of time it takes an auto or stick to shift once. everytime you feel a kick in the pants on a gear shift you have been wasting power until the shift. yeah it feels good but smother is faster.
Nathon Smithson you are right gears suck ass. There is no way that is getting into sixth gear faster than the cvt st max speed. Clutch packs dirtying the oil etc.
Jeff Bradway just as bustedknuckle commented “we shall see”... time will tell but I don’t foresee that happening as much as the krx was tested and how many years It took to develop.
I don't like belt drive. So this is right up my alley.thanks for the video
BigDmike that is the best part about this machine. I hope a turbo model comes next!
Iit looks as though Honda listened to what the atv community was saying and worked hard to stuff it all in this one. I've always loved honda off road stuff. You cant beat their quality.
they definitely delivered
Honda makes the most small engines in the world. History is a lie. I fully trust the japanese
I get Christmas leave here soon from the military and I’m driving all the way from Louisiana to Maine. Hoping to see you around on my ride up!!
That's one heck of a road trip!
BustedKnuckleVideo huge gear head! Want my buddies to see the progress I’ve made with my WRX!
hood coming off, thats honda craftmanship right there
it was broken when we picked it up
It's so fast that parts are flying off, 🥴 Go Honda😂👍🏻
Looking forward to the turbo video down the road. i bet it'd be a blast to treat it like a rally car and foot brake in the turns while on the gas to keep the turbo spooled and the let the turbo hurdle you out of the corners. 😍
the turbo model is going to be sweet
Zeus fasteners for the hood must be an added option.... Good video. Accurate and to the point. Always trust your guys opinion and input
Thanks yeah the hood latched kinda are lacking
You have to slide the front of the hood into the slots at the front and then push in the fasteners. You clearly didn’t do this.
So amped on our new in cab camera setup it was smooth!
BustedKnuckleVideo what kind of set up is it?
Hero 7 black
Great video as usual. Love the Talon. Can’t wait to see y’all beat on the new Terex!
P-Nut 420 that should be next!
Love my Talon X. Fun machine.
I liked it but like the CVT more
I wondered when Honda would get serious about this segment!
Don Anders they are late to the game as usual
How is it going to be for southeast trails and crawling? Less belt problems
It crawled great at the local park in Alabama, I think it's spot on.
if your burning belts on trails in the southeast your doing something wrong. remember unless your running 45 mph leave it in low.
Why do you say that? It can be rough
@@GrimRZR nothing bad. thats where i ride. just if your burning up belts your probly running in high gear to much. i run 32s on my xp1000 and most of the time im riding/climbing with jeeps with 40s. never smoked a belt. the biggest problem ive had is breaking plastic off when the dang thing rolls down the hill
@@GrimRZR not really southeast. ky is where i ride mostly hilly,rocky,tree filled trails . which im assuming you ride in
Can’t wait to get one of these. Just gotta sell my RZR.
they are fun, hopefully the aftermarket support catches up
@@BustedKnuckleVideo there is plenty of aftermarket options and it's growing everyday.
Scott Aubel keep it if its a turbo. Be slow in the Honda. I live in Az and visit the dunes/glamis so I have a lot of leg stretching room.
Here we go!
good times in this rental
Hood coming off was not a good look
yeah the latch was broken when we picked it up
@@BustedKnuckleVideo , makes me wonder about fit and finish, and longevity ....
@@charlespalmerii4299 This doesn't appear to be a new unit. Aftermarket wheels, tires, rear radius arms, and it had the lower door inserts. This all screams used to me. I have a '17 Pioneer 1000 which utilizes the same hood latch. Zero issues.
@@Mantooth2851 the Honda pioneer belongs on a farm it is horrible if you try and take it trail riding
@@dylanyoung3258 well, in that case I better stop riding mine around the West Virginia and Eastern Kentucky mountains. Never knew the 1,700 miles on my unit were terrible.
I think a turbo talon would make a good bouncer.
we shall see what the weak links are
YO, I gots to get me one dem souped up golf carts. Where you got dat?
Any powersports dealer
@@BustedKnuckleVideo I wonder do dey rent different high profile wheels? Ima get it lowered to.
Alfred The Savage rent wheels?
Alfred The Savage lowered??? Bro get a job first
Great video but the hood flapping drove me nuts lol
you and me both!
Learn to put it on properly and it’s very secure.
Maybe try putting it in sport mode so it shifts more aggressively
I think it was in sport mode

the KRX also weighs a lot more, does it seem under powered?
A little bit! More so from the bottom end. Yea a little more weight for sure! The suspension works so good though.
Bigger but wall thickness is what matters.
Ok duct tape the damn hood. But seriously what are the aftermarket on this 1000R? I have a 2020 same color and love the rear high clearance A arms
They yall would be complaining about the duct tape on it.....Just tires/wheels/ and radius rods
I want this. I need this lol
they are fun
What's up with the hood?
Dan Stennis came off going down the interstate so one latch was busted lol

Complain via comment about the music although they won't change no matter how many times you waste your breath or just keep it to myself....Dilemas
That flapping panel at the front would annoy me and not the first I have seen the same design fault ??.
Nick Ing dazed & confused just broken is all.
Them rear bottom a arms ain't stock
radius rods yeah I mentioned that
7:35 Right out of the box...... Not hardly. LOL Upgraded suspension and tires, not to mention a broken hood latch... LOL!
Just some tires and a spring swap
@@BustedKnuckleVideo As well as radius rods and who knows what else...
those aren't a big upgrade either, I would have loved to wheel a bone stock one but that was not an option, so here we are...

no worries, they all have their issues, atleast the aftermarket tends to step up and take care of them quickly.

Really like the idea of not being a CVT, my daily is CVT and it gets confused often when asking normal everyday action's while driving.
Nick Ing dazed & confused that is the best part for sure!

they have come a long way
Please latch that hood
It Is BrOkEn....
I'm not sure what this video was about all I could watch was the floppy Hood
the breadedcrab lol I guess we should have left it off
@@BustedKnuckleVideo Or latched it down properly
Chase S what part of it was broken do y’all not understand 🤷♂️
@@BustedKnuckleVideo Sorry, I missed that. I'm just surprised because I have almost 1000 miles on my Talon and the hood on mine had always stayed tight and secure.
