Future Leaked Honda Patents - Is a Mid-sized Sport SXS in the works for 2022?

Forgive my ignorance but maybe a 50” sport trail machine?

Could be. The number of Forest Service trails limited to 52" or less seems to grow with each planning iteration.

That would be nice. A 50" would fit in a pickup truck bed.

Even the 1000 fits in some trucks just fine😉
I don’t think it’ll be 50, looks like it’s pretty busy between the seats and they look placed a part pretty well. I know just basic patent pics but I’m really thinking larger if you look close.

Looks to me like a machine to compete with the Polaris General. Half sport half utility. Probably a 1000 with DCT.

Can-Am had a huge factory fire 3 days ago. It will make the shortage really bad for awhile.

So what is patented on this rig?

 

[Jhall728]

Hopefully it uses some configuration of the Africa twin 850 with a 6 speed DCT with H/L

Hopefully they build off this chassis and build a 850 sport utility quad to compete with Sportsman/Outlander and Scrambler/Renegade.

we can't get parts for the machines we have now.i won't be holding my breath waiting for anything new from honda for years to come.e more worried about production than parts

sadly there more worried about production than parts for existing machines. They have parts for new machines but not existing.

Too much room between seats to be 50" wide.
Did anyone pickup on the rear, high mount radiator?
Roll cage through door area would not be a commercial machine. This with the rear radiator says HRC to me. Something for their racing team.

Lockers, or i4WD…….🤔

New Honda Hornet Coming, But Will It Spawn Additional 750cc Models? « MotorcycleDaily.com – Motorcycle News, Editorials, Product Reviews and Bike Reviews

Perhaps this will be the powerplant for a new mid size UTV, complete with DCT! That would be pretty sweet!

Also from Honda Pro Kevin

Surfing around the web at work and found this on the HRC offroad racing team page.
Roughly similar looking to the patent drawing of the original post.

That's just the factory race car they've had for a few years. Tied in with Proctor racing who races the Ridgeline in Trophy Truck

I expect a couple of new models in the next few years before they go full electric probably in less than 10 years. It takes a few weeks to set one up, just adding lights for my night ride takes time. I'm set for a few years with my 2019 Talon and 2023 Talon R 4-seater. My buddy is watching the CF Moto 143 hp sport model. If it gets a wider track and higher boost for 200 hp he may buy one in 2026. He was impressed that it comes with Fox Live Valve shocks with the high end Eibach springs.

We should have one here in January...fingers crossed. I'm looking forward to testing it out.

I'm disappointed there wasn't a Pioneer 1000 with A/C for 2025. We may have an all-new sport model or a Talon Turbo for 2025. I expect we will see battery models in less than 6 years. Fortunately, Talons are good for around 70,000 miles if maintained well. I plan on buying another Talon R 4-seater in a few years before they are discontinued. My Talon R 4-seater will have over 50,000 miles in a few years and my 2019 Talon will too. As bad as I hate belt drive, I may buy the 2026 CF Moto model if the A/C model is fairly good.

Keep dreaming, they'll never factory turbo the Talon.

The Jackson setup was a fail, we've done 2 outside our race car and only 1 was customer requested. Then they sold it back to us after they bought an X3.
