Suspension & Chassis Breakdown: HONDA Talon 1000R-4
Built to stay composed when the terrain gets rough
The Talon 1000R-4 pairs long-travel suspension with a sport-focused chassis layout to help keep the tires planted and the cabin stable. If you’re comparing trims or deciding how you’ll ride around San Diego and beyond, the suspension and chassis details are where the Talon’s personality really shows.
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.
Tip: If you’re planning dunes, desert, or mixed terrain, ask our team about setup basics like tire pressure and shock settings for your typical load and pace.
