HOT SPECS // 2022 HONDA TALON X/LIVE VALVE

The 2022 Honda Talon X/Live Valve are finally here, and they include improvements added to the entire Talon family of sport UTVs. The upgrades include a relocated meter with improved visibility; extended shift paddles for easier manual gear changes; better mud protection via seat sealing; revised ignition timing for smoother transitions from deceleration to acceleration; updated styling; improved i-4WD and a pre-wired switch panel to facilitate installation of electronic accessories. All Talon models are powered by a 999cc parallel twin. Here’s what else you need to know about the 2022 Talon X/Live Valve.

The Talon X is Honda’s 64” wide, two-seat sport UTV. For 2022 it’s available in two versions, a base model with Fox QS3 compression adjustable shocks and the Fox Live valve version. Honda’s computer controlled Fox Live Valve suspension delivers a smoother ride in slow and fast driving, and the system also offers better control and stability because it’s so aware and responds so quickly. Honda’s Live Valve suspension also offers two dashboard button-selectable modes, a comfort focused standard mode and sport mode for fast driving.

Both models have 14.6” of front suspension travel and 15.1” in the rear using. Honda’s unique, geared 6 speed transmission has no drive belt to wear or break and it offers automatic and manual shifting modes, with sport and normal automatic shift programs, plus low and high range. The Live Valve model also has launch mode, which allows full throttle acceleration from a dead stop.
