On my way to test drive a 1000-6!

Yea, I'm in Smitty's corner on this one too! 😉👍

I found this:

At the end ~ 13 minute mark or so.

Maybe they where keeping the influencers on a short leash.
I might have read on line that one of the influencers got a little too rambunctious and debeaded a tire at the Talon launch.

Boy the clearance is nothing to write home about! Looks like a crew golf cart for clearance. With only two guys in it, it’s nearly or is scrubbing on the cattle gate (and it’s a little guy too!)….toss in some basic weight and it’s high centered on that little gate. Definitely going to be limited on those rocky trails with any thing bigger that a volleyball.

At the end of the day, this will always be the limitation, compared to a 1000-3 or -5 I guess.

Ok for tooling around but in no way going where it’s shorter counterparts go out of the box without serious modifications.

Your points are valid, but that is not the market they are trying to sale this too. I will say with a little help with suspension travel and larger tires this would be fine on most trail riding.

Wait til @Dezrik gets his and long travels that sucker 😛

Yep I am waiting for someone to do some R&D

I agree with new A arms , some 30’s, and good shocks with the extra storage it would be a great trail buggy for a family.

Don't think the 3-5 seater were designed to do what we have them doing either!

Wow!!! I thought this was a joke again, lol. It would be great to see a side by side comparison of the images, one created by Honda SXS for the April fools joke and a photo of this one.

Question…What is the top speed and how is acceleration?

I have never driven a 1000-6 but simple math says when 6 guys say it's fast that means it faster than 5 guys saying it's fast.

There were 4 grown men in ours for the first 5-6 miles, there was not enough trail room to get it up to speed. But from the little we could get it was very adequate for this application. Would guess top speed would be similar to the 3-5 seaters.

No doubt I'm chomping at the bit to start on it but no machine yet patiently waiting. But got the custom cage lined up, the long travel will be done before I get mine I'm sure of that.

If anyone gets a chance to test one at a dealership they should invite all the salesmen for a ride to test it.

Are you going to build your own long travel, or have you talked to TTC about their plans / progress on the new front upper arm mounts?

Another issue might be the extended axles with the new spline/nut size...

I'm not sure yet, I want to build boxed arms but if I did TTC arms again I'd have to figure out steering. I had some binding with the heims and some contact with the arms. The rack took the abuse and wears out quickly. I'm also thinking stock length arms and portals with good shocks 🤷‍♂️

Splines are the same, it's got a new nut definitely
