Video of 2024 Talon with Showa Shocks

[TxDoc]

I've never driven a Talon. I'll leave this to those who own them and who've owned past and current 2024 models to comment.

Where is he getting the 105hp number from? Did Honda change something in the engine to give it more HP vs the older models or is that guy just wrong?

honda has always advertised the red talons at 104HP

the other colors are 93HP

Even 93hp is a bit of a stretch...

I'm glad I bought a red one and that would explain why it's so fast. 😆

exactly - can’t believe someone would buy non red and take a lower HP machine


hope you are feeling better - race on

At 1:08 in the video, he says 27" front tires and 28" rear tires.

He also says the Showa shocks are "more adjustable" than the old Fox's yet there isn't any spring preload adjustment. I get the feeling that guy doesn't know what he's talking about.... 🤪

Sounds like talking points from Honda with a little thrown in for extra measure. Probably regularly telling everyone how sharp and honest our current president was.

Fake news - Honda wined and dined him - back out what looked like smooth desert with very very little bumpy terrain - had to give a good report - it’s a 5 year old model with Showa stuff on it - big deal…….buy a primo ‘19-‘20 used unit - dump the money on the suspension and better than any new model

Thanks for that info. I hope you bust him on that YouTube channel so others will understand what he's pulling. Post the correct info with the truth.

I bought an Orange one. They come with 105hp. I can really feel the difference between the orange and the green.
