  1. Do not currently own

  2. Looking to buy
We saw the leaks of what will likely be released a few months ago, but with the delayed 2022's when do you all think they will announce and then deliver? Bonus points, what do you think will change?

Im guessing we get a 10 month model year for 2022 so will announce Feb, Release April (if my numbers are right from 22?).

Hoping for a power steering change.
Maybe an air filter design change of some sort?

I am a newb though and figured you all might have more educated guesses.

Good luck with all that!
Waiting for Honda to announce/deliver anything is watching paint dry!

I'm also a "newB".

What is wrong with the power steering and airbox you are concerned about? I added a filter minder and the steering feels adequate?

Yours not working?

I believe our Redline that just dropped the other day said March for Multipurpose and Sport SXS.
I know I've been a bit absent but I'm gonna need some details. What I hear is we're getting another buggy. What's it like.

The air intake location is one of the Talon's biggest weaknesses, you'll get between 200 to 600 miles per filter depending on your environment. The solution is a snorkel with a prefilter, there are several options available. One choice is linked in my sig "New Talon Owners - First Things to Know and Check" another very popular solution is @highpocket74 's snorkel kit.

There's a lot of good, basic information in the New Talon Owners thread if you haven't seen it.

The suspension is stiff on the wash board and at speeds under 15 mph. The springs are too stiff so you really don't need the sway bar. I expect some of the 2023 models will be at the dealers in late March.

I've already read all that information. Still not seeing huge concerns with either item. Just kind of proceed accordingly.

I've had Honda atvs since I was a kid. I don't see Honda changing the intake design anytime soon. Historically that is just not their approach. They put something out there and make the same thing for 20 years with only few minor mechanical changes and styling changes. Example the 22 model front grill. There may be a slight cooling advantage with this change but I think it was more marketing driven to look more RZR like. If Honda was interested in mechanical changes, the air box would have been revised on the 20 model year.

I've had a contract for my dealer's NEXT x2 FLV any color since 09/2021.
I had a most recent ship date of 1/25/2023 until this past Monday when it disappeared.
Email from today from dealer:
1674770481950


Hope the Feb news is good.

Sounds like your getting bumped to a 2023 model
I hope so since I've had a signed sales agreement with dealer since 09/2021 for his NEXT X2 FLV any color-he and I are still waiting for the "next one". I hope it comes quickly-have 15k of accessories already bought in my garage inc a Turbo. That pile is in the way!
FYI-Polaris n Yamaha aren't getting him much more product either.
