Questions for the Honda Talon Team?

[Hondasxs]

If you could ask the Honda Development Team one question what would it be?

Last minuet areangements to fly out and meet up with the Honda Talon Team at Mid America Outdoors tomorrow.
@Tramguage1 will also be joining me as he has been a vital part of keeping the club rolling here on the backend.

- We will be grilling them for the un-listed updates that always go unmentioned.

- Where did the wheel base "shrinkage" come from.

- Info on the new power steering unit.

- what drove the decision for the lower doors.

And of course top piority will be to ask:
- what's the biggest tire I can fit without a lift
- and what oil should I run.

May also have a chance to meet some of the team from RaceCo and other Talon race teams.

Where is the Turbo????

 

[Leukic]

Why are they still making different size tires and only 28inch?

 

[Vondy]

Air intake updates?

Have fun, sounds like a great opportunity.

That's awesome! Glad to see Honda finally including you in these events.

Ask them if they'll be at King of Hammers this year....

Tell 'em the Talon needs to come with 32" tires as OEM and regeared accordingly. Low range should be lower without changing High range. Would like to see a full tunnel 'firewall' to keep the heat out of the passenger 'bucket'. Already mentioned - the air intake sucks, in a bad way. Matte colors are a PITA to keep clean on an off road vehicle, what's up wit dat?

 

[Vondy]

How about a real selectable locker up front and turf mode for rear?

 

[Remington]

Why are your Fox shocks so bad and rough riding out of the box?
And Why wont you splurge for something nice/decent to start with?

So ... turn the Talon into a Jeep? 🤣

The front Arms are not arched forward as far, you can see the front wheel is closer to the inner fender.

What exhaust system the Teams run and does Alba Racing do the reflash. How much extra HP do they have.

When are they actually going to start building them in mass quantities? Not the 2 or 3 a month we've been seeing.

I'm not going to say a DARN thing!

 

[JenElio]

Really?.......nobody?.......nothing eh?......

Ok, I'll ask.......how big a tire without a lift?!?!?!?😂 That reduced wheelbase probly killed the opportunity to add a bigger tire without forward arms even though "they" say it's tuned/programed for bigger wheels and tires.......🤷‍♂️

Yep.
Spoke to some guys last year and they were juggling a plethera of high dollar older 2022 parts while trying to introduce the 2023. Thus we got the "S" model as the solution. Will ask if this has worked through.

And.. need to ask if the atv wing has finished being converted to SxS's.

Thinking about doing a video going around asking every one what oil I should use. Lol.
