Choosing the Right UTV: The 2020 Honda® Talon 1000X-4 or the Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve?

Oct. 30 2019 Miscellaneous By ___

A side-by-side is an excellent investment if you’re looking to improve your off-road game, but the trick is getting the right one. Different models offer different perks at different prices. One model that works for one person won’t necessarily work for you. That’s why it’s important to consider your needs so we can help you choose the right UTV. We’ve provided some tips to get you started, so when you’re ready to start shopping, you can swing by Peak Honda World in Littleton, Colorado, and we’ll direct you to the side-by-side that’s right for you. We welcome all those from Denver and Aurora as well.

How Will You Use Your UTV?

Of course, you’ll want to start by thinking about the kind of riding you’ll want from your machine. UTVs can offer a wide range of functions, or they can be built for a very specific purpose. For example, there are models that offer a blend of recreational and utility features so you can use your machine for labor-intensive projects and hit the trails in your free time.

Or, you can choose a model that offers all the best thrills and sport-related features to give you the kind of performance that’ll leave the competition in the dust. Even if you’re not interested in competitive riding, it can be fun to enjoy life behind the wheel of a vehicle built to bring the heat.

How Many Passengers?

Side-by-sides are known for their extra space. Most models come with room for at least one extra passenger, if not two. There are also models that offer seating for up to six riders. Depending on the size of your family, you might want to give some serious thought to the number of passengers you’ll be expecting, and factor it into your list of needs.

Choosing a Model

When it’s finally time to start looking at models, you’ll immediately realize you’ve got a lot to choose from. Think of this as a fun time to explore your options, two of which we’ve detailed below. 

2020 Honda® Talon 1000X-4

The 2020 Honda Talon 1000X-4 offers some of the best sport UTV features that Honda has up its sleeve. This includes a 999cc twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine with a Unicam cylinder head design. It offers a special, long-wheelbase and high-performance chassis with independent front and rear suspension and plenty of ground clearance. Switch between the automatic six-speed DCT transmission and a manual option using power shifters mounted on the steering column.

The benefit of choosing this model over other Talon models plays into that decision you made about passengers. This UTV offers space for 4 riders, with stadium seating in the back for comfortable riding. The seats are also raised up to help your passengers enjoy some extra breathing room.

2020 Honda® Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve

The 2020 Honda Talon 1000X-4 FOX Live Valve offers everything you’d get with the previous model and so much more. The biggest perk is the suspension. This model comes with FOX shocks system, which adjusts in real time, independently in each wheel, to give you the best handling and the most comfort.

They also come with a custom control system, developed with Bosch, to give you the kind of data needed to back a superior shocks system. It’s the system that reads your terrain for you and adjusts your UTV’s performance so you can get the best ride every single time.
