Talon First Talon Ride Event Next Week... Review coming soon!

[joeymt33]

Gear reduction w/31's same top speed as a talon. Heavier cage, beadlocks, tires, skid & accessories also. Still have stock suspension.

I think you’re sandbagging! Those fox X2’s are worth quadruple the price of the QS3s

And who knows what else has went into your build in the mad scientist lab!

I’d actually want to know diff with igr. The rest is starting to become unfair

They are a factory shock though.

 

[snuffnwhisky]

A lot to compare though. Seating, braking, shifting, suspension, steering, visibility, heat, noise etc.

'19 SS with a gear reduction.

Gear reduction beyond factory ?

Sorry, but what the heck is a YXZ. Is that Can-Am. Or Yamaha. Or something else. Interested. Thanks.

Oh wow. I go by a Yamaha dealer about once a week, and I’ve never seen anything like that. So, a 1,000.
How wide would that be. Nice colour. Thanks

2019 Yamaha YXZ1000R Pure Sport Side-by-Side - Specs, Prices

@Cuoutdoors its obvious we don’t see eye to eye on the i4wd and I’m not going to debate that but I sure as hell will agree with you on thier comments on it! Holy s*** those guys are dumb! Don’t mean to be an asshole to them but come on! If a company is going to allow me to ride a machine (any machine) I’m going to learn ALL I CAN about that machine. Especially if I’m going to do a review on it! Should’ve just said it had a different type of system and they didn’t have enough time to evaluate and move on.

64” wide. 90 inch wherlbase

 

[Choogsbro]

Yes. The Yamaha GYTR reduction.

So is it your opinion that the factory gearing changes to the 2019 are not enough ?

 

[HondaTech]

I'll have my YXZ at Takeover so hopefully someone will have a Talon that we can do some head to head comparisons against.

I think I overheard the SXSblog say it handles whoops better than the YXZ....

Just a thought

AND handling big hits better than the X3 XX with 24" advertised travel.

first time I watched a video from Fischer. It will be the last. Not because of his negative tilt. Was surprised how little he knew of the Talon he was reviewing. Most of his positive comments were like

64” wide. 90 inch wherlbase

There review was a trainwreck... But they did point out some good things others didn't mention. I think they were more disappointed in the higher rpm power, sxsblog mentioned the same on the R review. It's tough to make the big HP numbers with a geared trans and still have enough bottom end power so there is a tradeoff there. The belt machines can run a big cam and make the top end hp because the clutch does not engage till 5k rpm.

I thought they said the X did better than the R in the whoops at the end of the video.
