Suspension highlights (as equipped)

Front suspension

  • Independent double-wishbone with FOX Live Valve shocks
  • 17.7-inch travel

Independent geometry helps the front end track through chop and ruts while keeping steering feel predictable.

Rear suspension

  • 4+ link trailing arm with FOX Live Valve shocks
  • 20.1-inch travel

Long rear travel is a big part of the Talon’s ability to stay settled at speed and absorb bigger hits.

Tires & stance

  • Front tires: 28 x 9-15
  • Rear tires: 28 x 11-15
  • Width: 68.1 inches

A wide stance and staggered tire sizing support cornering stability and rear bite under acceleration.

Chassis control: brakes, clearance, and turning

Suspension travel is only part of the story. The Talon 1000R-4’s chassis numbers help explain how it behaves in tight sections, on off-camber trails, and when you need to scrub speed quickly.

Dual 250mm discs (front)
Dual 250mm discs (rear)
