Are there many 15" tire choices out there (outside of LT types)? Seems like an unusual choice.

The more I see, the more I like!

Reckon this forum is responsible for Honda using the "Talon" name?

Did I understand that the R will have a dual sub transmission and the X doesn't?

No. Engine/drivetrain is supposed to be the same.

No. Heard wrong or said wrong.
Its same workings as the pioneer 1000.
Only major differences between them is the suspension parts

Ya right.
Talon trademark goes back to summer 2016.

Should’ve had this guy speak at the unveiling

 

[Landman]

I've watched that guy doing the diesel truck videos, and that's how you do a video. I loved that he didn't pull any punches, saying their Pioneer overheated, lol!

 

[JACKAL]

Loving that Front & rear Bumpers and the tree kicker.

Tooless Airbox access! Anyone want to buy some 12" long 5mm allen wrenches?

Caught in another video, Reverse in Talon is geared 18% lower than Pioneer and shifts 50% faster that the Pioneer (time it takes to change each gear). And they can handle and clear 30" tires no problem from Honda staff. Also claim in can be jumped and landed with throttle pinned and axels will hold up. Hmmm.

I like that! I really wish the pioneer had lower reverse. I wish the low side was a bit lower too but it's not terrible.

Landing with throttle pinned is cool! I watched this video yesterday too... hopefully he gets to test drive one soon.

I’d say Soichiro Honda came up with the name...!

Wonder how and what the i4WD system is doing with all tires in the air getting no traction?
