Been researching Talon aftermarket support and keep striking out. Anyone know of a shock tuner or cage builder that's working on the Talon.

Pretty sure I heard Shock Therapy was working on the shocks. I've heard mixed reviews about them though. Talon page on FB might be your best bet getting that info.

I have shock Therapy on both my X3's but will stay away from them if I build a Talon. Talon is definitely not getting the aftermarket love that my X3 has, which is too bad.

It's kinda soon to expect a lot of selection. There are not enough customers yet. If the 2020 chassis remains largely identical to the 2019, with the same issues in other words, the volume of machines in the field will start to drive enough demand and potential profit for the aftermarket to make more development investment.

My 2017 Candham X3 was only three months old and had a custom cage, CT Raceworx shocks a Powertune Stage II tune and a bunch of aftermarket parts on it. The same with my first gen rzr 900. Was hoping for some more excitement from the aftermarket realm. Other than the poor cage welds what Talon issues are you talking about?

I mean if you look on Instagram, their are tons of people busking cages. I woulsnt really call a custome cage "aftermarket" since it's usually built by a shop to your specs or look. Theres guys making rear arms, bumpers, bed extenders, all sorts of stuff.

If you showed up at a cage guys shop, they'd build whatever you could dream of on a Talon.

The engine is harder to tune, since the trans has to be adjusted for the extra power. You can't just adjust fuel/air/spark and get power without turning for shift points. It's a brand new platform, itll get there.

Sorry, I don't do Instagram. I have reached out to some of my aftermarket cage builders but haven't got any interest in a Talon cage. CT and S-3 have built SCORE and BITD approved cages for me in the past that I definitely trust with my life. Do you have a link to the rear arms?

Talon 1000R RADIUS RODS (SET OF 4)

Trinity Racing had a video of their exhaust dyno with some other rear arms. But they didnt mention who makes them.
