Talon TFLOffroad Review - 2019 Honda Talon Revealed - Here Are the Specs for Honda's RZR Fighter!

[Cal]

I think I saw where the Talon is just over 1500lbs

I hope that Eslinger_18 is right that it's just over 1000lbs. That would be a nice advantage over the other machines if Honda is the lightest, and it would be by a decent margin. I'm sure we'll hear an official number soon.

agree, but sometimes on a sxs lighter equals cheaper parts. @joeymt33 knows the weight

I watched the video again, it says they are just above and below that 1500lb mark, between the 2 models. Having that DCT is going to add weight that is unavoidable but more than justifiable in my opinion.

Thank you for looking. Some of the guys I ride with view weight as their most important spec. 1500 pounds still isn't bad though.

Rzr 1000 - 1369
YXZ 1000r - 1554
Can Am (non turbo) - 1349
Textron Wildcat XX - 1868

According to a quick Google search.

Think the Can am and Polaris is listed as Dry Weight. Honda and Yamaha usually list Wet weight. Gas, Oil, Water.

The light weight 28 inch tires will make a difference in acceleration and suspension performance.

Have you seen the bolts and parts on a RZR???
Theres 30% less metal so yeah its gonna weigh less.
I am hoping if its 1500lbs that means all the parts are beefy enough to even hold up to @CumminsPusher

I’m offering free R&D if someone wants to donate their machine for a day. Seriously I’d love an hour of seat time...

Well luckily most things were warranted out, almost like it wasn’t purposeful damage. I did offer to take care of things and he wasn’t having it. Would’ve been safer with you driving, would’ve came back with light layer dust and no scratches

I know you did, I'm just giving you crap BUT...... I DID take mine the same places with stock suspension and tires and kept the rubber side down too.

But...you were in your rig that you’re use to and it was setup by you and for you, big difference. I did prior call concerning different setup and he did say “flip it just video it” I failed the latter. Would’ve been awesome vid, I was calm and had enough control to catch the tires with throttle on second roll before it got real bad and drive off. I think some people would’ve been a bowling ball had that happened.

Same here with my Lesser Excursions road warrior as @JTW calls it. Wait, weren't we wondering where they were? Oh ya top o sand mines inspecting the undersides.

 

[CumminsPusher]

inspecting the undersides.

I love that phrase. Sounds almost responsible lol
