[TheBoogerMonsterTalon]

I hear this is gonna work great with the I4wd bypass ... I’m also on the waiting list I called sales .... $500 into the savings account I think it will be around 499$ with shipping. I wonder if the pioneer one would fit 🤣

I wonder if the pioneer one would fit 🤣

The one for the Pioneer 500? No.

This new model is specifically for...
2019 + Pioneer 1000 with i4WD
2019+ Talon 1000

One can only dream of skipping the line they probably have ... I just hope I can get one and install it before July ..

Torq-Masters Industries New Model: TORQ Locker Honda Talon Prototype Testing at King of the Hammers

Rochester, New York, February 10, 2021

Torq-Masters Industries was the first aftermarket manufacturer to offer a patented mechanical locker for UTV’s and ATV’s. After the successful release of the TORQ Locker for Can-Am UTV’s and ATV’s Honda Pioneer 500’s, Honda early TRX and Polaris models, Dave Cole, Founder of the King of the Hammers race reached out to Torq-Masters for a custom TORQ Locker for the Honda Talon on very short notice. The opportunity to race prove our TORQ Locker design for Factory Team Honda UTV was something we could not refuse. In 10 days we designed, manufactured and shipped cross country 3 TORQ Lockers for Team Honda.

“The Honda Talon platform works incredibly well. The I-4WD system is fantastic in the desert and allows the Talon to get up 95% of the rock trails without winching on the King of the Hammers course. Paired with the TORQ locker, the Talon is unfazed by any terrain thrown it’s way. The locker allowed me to drive all day without having to kick my codriver out to winch a single obstacle.” – Bailey Cole #13

After successfully testing the TORQ Locker in the Team Honda pre-runner Talon it was decided to install the 2 other TORQ Lockers in the 2 Team Honda Talon race cars to be driven by Bailey Cole #13 and Jordan Pellegrino #98. The race was intense and the TORQ Locker helped Bailey pull off a race with no winching, finishing in 17th place out of 97 UTV’s that qualified for the race. Jordan was not far behind with a respectable 28th finish.

The TORQ Locker is the most advanced, strongest, highest quality automatic locking differential on the planet, proven in the most extreme vehicles from hard-core Rock Crawling, racing the King of the Hammers, Rock Bouncing, Sand Dunes and Mud Drags. To back this all up, Torq-Masters Industries offers an unprecedented 4 year warranty on the TORQ Locker with no tire size, horsepower limits or loopholes. Torq-Masters Industries is committed to building the highest quality locking differentials possible. To be the best, we build with the best, TORQ Locker is 100 percent Made in the USA with 100 percent USA raw materials.

Keep it Simple, no air-lines to leak, compressors to fail, cables to adjust or electrical gremlins, the TORQ Locker gives you piece of mind as a reliable, mechanical, automatic locker that can handle any terrain. The innovative design features of the TORQ Locker have three game-changing benefits;

Creates true 4WD by replacing stock spider gears in the differential.
Easiest Locker on the market to install, no spacers, no dowel pins, no cables, air or electrical lines.
The machined Key-Way design of the Cam gears can't shear, ever.

To build the TORQ Locker, Torq-Masters Industries demands the highest quality control standards, protocol and materials. The TORQ Locker is CNC Machined from USA made 9310 steel alloy for maximum durability and long life using their proprietary manufacturing processes in an ISO 9001 certified facility in Rochester NY. Locker components are then heat treated with proprietary procedures in a TS16949 certified facility with 100 percent quality audits utilizing electron microscopy testing. Quality control of this caliber is very rare in the Aftermarket Off-Road Industry, but Torq-Masters goes the extra mile to build the best, because you deserve the best.

Torq-Masters team of engineers make every effort to ensure that the model fitment listed is accurate. However, due to vehicle manufacturers differential options, using available inventory, prior vehicle owner modifications, etc. it is the customers responsibility to confirm that the model TORQ Locker they order fits their differential.
Fitment: 2019 + Honda Pioneer Talon

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When in 2WD what affect does the locker have? Is there any difference from stock in simply having the locker installed when in 2WD?

A: There should be no perceivable difference than stock in 2WD with a front TORQ Locker installed

Q: Does the TORQ Locker™ ever disengage?

A: The TORQ Locker™ never technically disengages, but it does allow for wheel spin differentiation so you can turn and steer the vehicle. The Locker achieves wheel speed differentiation through ratcheting. A slight audible click maybe noticeable at low speeds, this is an indication of the locker ratcheting.


Q: Where is the TORQ Locker™ made?

A: The TORQ Locker™ is made 100% in the USA from USA made raw materials. Our manufacturing facility is in Rochester NY.


Q: What is the Warranty on the TORQ Locker™?

A: The TORQ Locker™ has a 4 year warranty with no tire size or horsepower limitations. The warranty does not cover damage to the locker from driveline component failures such as broken axle shafts or other differential failures.

Do you know whether this is still in development, or now available?

Do you know whether this is still in development, or now available?

It is somewhat in the middle.

I got an email from Cora today. This is out of development and in line for a production run. They are currently running production on some of their items that are out of stock first and intend to make a production run of the Talon TORQ Locker towards the end of April as long as everything goes as planned.

They are as anxious to get these out as we are to get them so please be patient. It has been almost 2 years since some of us took delivery on our Talons, another month or 2 isn't going to hurt

For those of you around Utah that are undecided because of the install technicalities, I will be an installing dealer for the Talon TORQ Locker (and possibly the Pioneer 1000). I will not sell them outright, but only as part of an install. If you want to buy and install yourself, order one directly from Torq-Masters or one of their other dealers.

Installs will be first come, first served, by appointment only and will usually take 1 day. If you need one installed, PM me to get in line. Pricing is still not set but as soon as it is, I will post installed prices. Then as soon as I get my first shipment, I will make appointments and start installing.

I’ll pm you, thanks

 

[Hondasxs]

Then you have a company like Torq-Masters who can deliver.

 

[Ridinfool]

Delusion: "Torq-Masters can deliver"
Reality: Torq-Masters did NOT deliver

I agree wholeheartedly with this statement...
Mostly because I’ve never ordered anything from them, so...

 

[Vikes79]

Wait.....what? Huh?

People want a locker and not an cheapo abs style system ?

you don’t say?!

bwahahaha!

 

[Ridinfool]

bwahahaha!

Well, that’s just dumb... I for one prefer the cheap ABS system, because nothing is more exciting than 4WD Russian roulette out on the trail.

 

[Montecresto]

So, a locker for the Talon is coming, or no????
@PaulF

 

[lee]

I thought the story was Torq-Master did deliver.
It was Procror and his boy wonder race car driver that didn’t deliver.

 

[Hondasxs]

So, a locker for the Talon is coming, or no????
@PaulF

I am not sure of the current status.

 

[Vondy]

Not released yet that I am aware of.

 

[lee]

Makes me not want to deal with that company for any product.

There are lots of companies that are helping to support this community.
They register as vendors, help there customers and prospective customers by helping work out issues and even supply prizes for our events.
I’m happy to send my money there way when I can.

@lee, there is only one company making clutch packs out of Adamantium...
Just don't ask them about it or you will get blacklisted.
