It's great to see a system like the i4wd on the Hondas. It seems like less to break. I love my Talon 1000x4. I think I may trade for a a 1000r though
In the same position want that extra width and longer trailing arms going from a x to a R soon
Love my trusty 1000x. Works great on the trails for me!
Love how you use the thing for what it’s meant to be used for respect
Awesome! Great navigation over difficult terrain!
I love my Talon 1000R. I got the 3rd from the last 2019 one built. That’s what the dealership told me anyway. I hit trails and rock climbing. I hit some mud but not intentionally. LoL!! The rig is holding up perfectly. I put a set of Method Beadgrip wheels and some System3 XT300s in 33x10/R15s on it sense the day I bought it. No breaks and no failures so far. I bought it about 3 months into 2020 and they gave me a pretty good deal on it. $17,200. That was about $4K off so it was a no brainer for me. Thanks for sharing!!
This is making me want one more and more
Even though it's a side by side UTV, airing down the tires is still important. It has built in lockers too.
@Enduro_kangs electric lockers are true lockers its just different in how they engage, this doesnt even have that, its just an intelligent 4x4 system
Was wondering about the psi... i get the mech vs elec lockers though.
Wow you can really see the i4wd really fight itself and try to play catch-up with what side has traction
I’m just curious how this machine is holding up because it’s obvious you guys drive them hard. I have an xpt and am giving serious consideration on selling and buying a talon and doing a build on that. But would love some honest feedback. Great video and also some great driving skills.👍👍
Check out some of my vids we have one on portals built for climbing and we gave gave it hell since the day we had and still haven’t broke or bent anything coming off of a rzr I love my talon so much more
I m in the same situation, i do more mechanic than i ride with my xpt
@@Ayden_418 my 81 atc, 86 stock 250r, and 2004 Foreman rancher 100% love this news (Edit) all stock zero problems and I ride the 81 110atc alot on local park trails that were originally 3 and 4 wheeler trails just the owner died and tax forfeit take over turned into horse mtn bike and walking cross-country ski trails. Well 81 is grandfathered In for me it's quiet and not 250r fast its just the old trails cruiser and I use it alot.
I've got 1900 trouble free miles on mine. The suspension is finally softening up, smart me would have had the shocks re-tuned a long time ago. It's kinda cool having one of the only green cars in the desert....as long as you're not trying to hide.
Honda for the win
I can't wait to get one of those!
Wow thats pretty awsome
Nice! No transmission belt to burn up!
I like the i4wd in my Pioneer, and this shows that it works! Are those 32" carnivores? Any lift to clear them?
Yes 32's. No lift, stock wheels.
Skills....
There you go
Cool !
Damn Honda baby!!
Incredible
Good driver 💪🏻
Let a few psi out of those tires and it would have been less wheel slip. Less likely to catch a flat on the sharp rocks too. You don't have beadlock on rims so you can't take too much out or the rims starts spinning inside the tire.
Those look like great trails. Where is that located?
Looks like trail 30 top trails talladega al
Haven't been to Top Trails yet. Only visited Stoney Lonesome and Indian Mountain in AL.
now that's a hill climb!
That takes skill
Nomás as la ecena de toretto en el Charger
Well it must not be impossible if he made it
Nah try it with momentum. Gone up worse in my 4seater no locker
Not bad for a side ×side!
Why he even try that in 2wd?
Could have brake locked the wheels but you gotta know what you’re doing to do that or you’ll snap an axle
That talon made the climb alot harder than it had to be
Carnivores are not it
Not a locker
His tires have way too much air in them. The climb doesn't look bad at all
This is not a true locker
But you can buy one for the Talon and install it.
@@tinkertrek And most people regret doing so. I looked into it even tho the stock system works well, most people wish they hadn't, and some went through the trouble to go back to stock. My understanding is that the mod is only useful for mud runners running huge tires and portals with the i4WD bypassed.
Not sure what advantages it shows? I true locker doesnt slip either wheel when engaged, slippage means losing traction. Watching one front wheel bite and los traction over and over doesnt seem like an advantage. Similar to Can Am.. If you watch the Talon Turbo first Test you can see them put it on a roller board and 3 wheels make many many rveloutions before the front wheel with traction finally starts pulling you up , For gods sake Honda, just put a manually operated front locker that completely engages 100% power to both front wheels once engaged. I just dont understand it.
and some things are just beyond some peoples comprehension
Locked differential = Broken axles I’m glad Honda did things differently You don’t see broken axle’s on the Talon Facebook pages Matter of fact you see very few failures Of any kind.
it depends on what your going to be doing. in a race having a a bit of slip to that outside wheel will be advantage. obviously when climbing in low speeds you want full traction. but having said that i just got a talon and it has not got stuck once and my first trail was an intermediate rock crawling trail. this thing is a beast.
Which do you guys prefer the R or the X
@@matthewmilam286 you don’t see broken axles. You also don’t see them climbing bounty hills, winning king of hammers, or Baja racing either
Well it's a Honda. Sooo . I put my p500 threw hell an go places you wouldn't walk.
just change the front break pads after every ride !!!
17madracki17 I’ve have 1000 miles on my 1000x and the brake pads are still good Even as expensive as the brake pads are it’s still better than replacing axles
5400 miles on 35s and I haven't replaced anything on mine nor broke anything
1900 miles on mine, still on the factory pads with plenty of life. People talk about the pads being eaten up and I was a little concerned early on. Apparently that BS rumor was started by someone that bought a different brand and needed something to talk smack about while he was replacing his shredded drive belt.
Is the point of off roading to make things more difficult then they have to be? Because he coulda cruised up on the side easily 😂🤙🏼
I mean, that's kinda what you do in a 4x4 park, lol. Waste of machinery in hindsight. Fun though, and good practice(at least on a bike).
You clearly don't get it.
Pretty good for a honda 😆
Take some air out them hard ass tires then you coulda walked up it
Air down the tires. Way to much air in them
I’m surprised the honda actually made it up, then again I’m definitely not a honda fan
Tyres way to hard lol
My Yamaha could do that
And they wonder why private property owners are closing their land to the public....
This is at top trails park
@@taddd85 and look how rutted and washed out. This is exactly why public land owners have stopped allowing motorized vehicles on their property. When there's a caravan of trailers from miles away loaded with side by sides, and the property gets destroyed and trash is left every where, land owners get pissed, and rightfully so. When it was just dirtbikes and quads, it wasn't so bad. Now every nonskilled driver can get a side by side and go into the woods. If you can drive a car, you can drive a side by side. Think of all the idiots that you encounter while driving on the road. Property half of those shitty car driving people own a side by side. They have ZERO respect for anyone else. I've never seen so much trash in the woods where I live. Mud flaps, other parts that fell off, empty coolers, beer bottles and cans EVERYWHERE.
Crappy system
You clearly don't own one, mine works perfectly.
Them tires had way to much air
Junk
