This is not a complaint, just an observation. From what I can tell from the pictures, the Talon does not seem to have a front sway bar. Can anyone confirm? Don't the RZR's and the can am's run front sway bars now? I'm not 100%, but think they do.

With so much travel that could cause quite a bit of body roll. We won't know how they handle until one of us gets one.

What exactly sets the Talon apart from the competition?

I’m just not seeing it.

To me it looks like a bloated rzr with an automotive base trim model traction control (i4wd = think ford 150 xl w/o locking diff (or similar)= crappy on everything but glare ice). Whoopie.....


IMO complete whiff in the already very crowed market and 10 years too late.

The high/low gearbox and no belt for starters.

So serious question... I know the i4wd just applies brake pressure to the slipping tire to send power to the tire that needs it. Well, what happens if both tires are slipping? I assume it lets them slip right... it better! Maybe i want a bunch of wheel spin on a hill climb, or im trying to do 4wd donuts on the frozen pond. Anybody know what happens?

I hate those what ifs. I do prefer the 1-2-3-4 wheel drive of the locker. I like to know it’s grabbing what I tell it to grab, that’s one of my favorite things about my Pioneer. I know some like it and that’s great but for me it’s a big complaint.
I feel it was designed to be an on-the-fly easy button like the other machines have to help sales.Yes I’ll have to get over it and deal with it at some point if I go with Talon. I get that.

It does not ever cut power. Put it to the floor and all 4 will be spinning.
