  • 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

    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

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

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

      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
