Great job hammering down on the R! You guys have the best showcase of what the Talon is capable off so far and I like the fact you're not just standing around it talking about how it does like everyone else but actually taking us along as you experience it for the first time. Your live reactions are priceless! The handling performance of the R is incredible but I would still have to stick with picking the X here in the Appalachian Mountains. There is far more twisty turning trails than wide open so the times I could utilize the R's suspension to the fullest would be few and it would only be in sort bursts...lol. Now it's just a matter of saving my pennies till I can get one!

They gave us full reign and of course never told us what to say.

You dudes were savage on that maccchhhhiiinnnneeee. Glad they let you push the units ability. I enjoyed that everyone took a while to caught up with you and the first car. Could tell you two were moving fast. Can't wait to see it run against the other units in the stable back at the farm. Lol. Thanks for taking us along.

Great video guys. Nick Sous, in my opinion this is one of your better contributions to the sxs blog videos. It's good to see a serious sous. Keep up the good work gentlemen.

Great review sxsblog! I'm in love with this machine already!

This is exciting. Honda has always delivered and it's awesome to finally see them in this market.

Took Honda a long time to get here but it appears the wait was worth it. Excellent review gentlemen. Good combination of ride video and personal input about the two machines. Your enthusiasm...which we could hear as you ran them through their paces, was what really struck me. Where I live it would be the R. However, I am one or two other projects away from being able to replace my XP. Hopefully, Big Red will have the talon Turbo R out...THAT is the one that will have me in the dealers showroom post haste.

I really like how you can hear both of you while Ripping down the trail. NO annoying loud CVT noises, You could actually here your viuces clearly even on the Gopro's over head. That motor and DCT sounded most excellent!!

The green would be a nice change from your other colors but I am a Honda team red guy,the transmission is the seller for me no broken belts in bad places in the mud or water that just sucks, that car screams bigger tires and lights, can't wait to see what you guys do with it 👍👍👍

Great review. Glad you guys enjoyed playing in my back yard, Sand Hollow Utah. Keep up the great content.

Great video! Awesome real test and feedback. I was going to pull the trigger on a RZR Turbo today until I watched this video last night. Now I am rethinking since I am on the East Coast and may not need the full Turbo power. Love to see a head to head. Thanks guys

1. You guys have come a long way from filming Maverick tie rod installs in Ricks garage! So awesome to see that you guys have made it. I hope this series pushes you over 60k! 2. It's awesome to see your guys style reviews. Its not just watching a rider go through perfectly manicured trails on a shiny new machine with someone narrating the video reading from a thesaurus. This is real world actual riders impressions. Speaking as if you were deciding to purchase the machine with your own money, which you do! Plus its awesome to see you blow all the other media people out of the way and force you to stop to make them catch up lol 3. I think the R simply because its green and it would be awesome to see black, yellow, red, blue and green SxS go down the Hwy

I wouldn't call these reviews if so then these are some of the best ever reviews I've seen. That's my kind of review , stand around and talk about it works or just do what the sxs blog boys do and jump in and drive it like you stole it. You boys honestly seem professional nice vids. I am subscribed

The boys from Michigan have come a long way. Congratulations to the side by side blog

Awesome work as always guys! It's too good not to share everywhere so I've thrown it up on my blog etc so hopefully it helps bring in a few more viewers.

That intro is real nice. Great editing and video all the way through

Great review on both machines. Can’t wait till you guys get one. Thanks for sharing.

Gotta love Sand hollow. Spring time is awesome there. Rock crawl , dunes and ride right down to the lake and hop on a boat or wave runner to chill out. Great place to do this review . And great review guys!

Very impressed with your review and the overall performance of the new Honda talon! I ride "Sand Hollow" a couple times a yer, which is a great area to ride.

Just got back from our first trip to Sand Hollow, spent 4 days rippin.... Amazing, simply amazing.

Yesterday’s review was sorta what I expected for the 1000R. Honda got it right when they asked you guys out for a rip 🤘 Back to the show 💥

Thanks to Leonardo for breaking into your busy schedule to help a fan on the other side of the planet. Me and my wife are enjoying the series I hope there’s a part three.

Great video guys! I liked the intro and the bit of extra editing put into this one over the 64.

Had a little more time to put together some stuff with the R. Plus there was no drone opportunity with the X.

both reviews for the R and X are very good. Thanks a bunch!

Wow! Very great review. Sousa was super good a describing how he felt about it. So were you Leonardo! I am super excited about this machine now. I would get the R because I feel that it suits your guys riding style better. I was really surprised that Souse liked the X better. Especially since he loves to send it everywhere he goes. I like the Red better and its a Honda color. But the green sure does pop! Thanks guys.

SXSBlog riding in my backyard nice review guys. As always

Get the Talon R boys! I would like to see you guys put it to the test and how it holds up. Mods on it would be cool to see when they come out. Great reviews Leonardo and Souser!! Missed Doug. Always look foreword to your videos

Definitely the red unit!!!! That’s what I call a real test drive! I would like to see a Polaris XP1000 vs the Talon X or R drag race and trail ride. Awesome video guys, this is definitely the best SXS channel on KZread!

Really glad to see how informative and fun the Nicks made this and how there wasn’t brand bias to Polaris and Can-am. Too bad Doug didn’t get his hands on it too.

Great footage and review guys!!!! I want so hard the pick the Honda red over the green but that green is sweet looking

Great video! I recently moved to the St George area and picked up a Turbo S last month to take advantage of the riding areas and started following your channel, After watching your videos I wondered what you guys would think of riding Southern Utah and bam, you're in my backyard! Would love to see a follow-up video on your thoughts of Sand Hollow and riding here.

Thanks again for another great review. After watching the R in the whoops I’m changing my mind. The R with turbo, which will come looks like the perfect unit. And no belt changing.

heyy howyahdoin! howyahbeen! so the intro was super sweet. loved the new drone footage! off to watch you guys get this green booger dirty...

Another badass video guys. That thing looks like it will be able to hang with all the other brands no problem. The six speed transmission looks so sweet . #GOGREEN

Nice review guys. I would have liked to hear a price point comparison between the two. Keep up the good work.

Green for sure. I'm thinking of painting my Mav Trail Green next winter. Great reviewing. thx

I've owed at least a dozen Honda quads and several dozen bikes. That doesn't include the countless Kawasaki and Yamahas I've had. Every Honda I've ever owed has been dependable and takes the abuse time and again. Parts are forever available. While not always the fastest on the trail they always brought me home. Can't wait to get my hands on one of these, may have to go in debt over the X model🤔

Great review on both, I'm with Souser, the X seems to tickle my fancy. So glad Honda hit the mark on this!

Fantastic. Great video guys. SXSBlog.com is killing it . It is unfortunate that the 1000R is not trail legal in WI.

Always get the top dawg! A green R and I can't wait until you guys get some comparison videos against the pack.

The best review I've seen so far good job guys...

Kudos 2 u 2 guys this in my opinion is the 1st professional vid you've done and it was awesome except maybe 4 your descriptive verbs. Other than that 100% 4sure!

Sxsblog.com best in the business at making content!

You're literally 5 miles from my house. Wide ruts are from the Jeeps. Huge Jeeping area in Sand Hollow. Cool to see you guys rippin out at Sand Hollow!

You"re correct lots of 72 + cars here those trails you were on we do 60 + on them.That's my backyard I live 3 miles north on the other side of the dam. Great riding.

It was awesome there! We could have pushed it lots more but the majority of the time our lead kept us in check.

Great review guys. If I had to pick one it would have to be the x. You guys have plenty of powerful dune machines already. I think it's time for a tight trail machine project for you fellas.

Looked like you guys were really giving it the beans. Go with the R...good unit.

The first driver review I have seen for both machines and you guys nailed it, as always!!! Well done!!! Would probably opt for the 'X' given the type of riding here (central Alberta, Canada).

Now, how could you not come back to southern Utah after that??!! Good review guys!!! You guys should do a booth at the worcs series

Great vid!! We will have our hands on one very soon. Going to have some footage on it.

Always thumbs up 👍 if you are thumbs down 👎 you don’t even like sxs’s so why are you even watching. This is the thing I love comparison but it has to be apples to apples out of all the machines you guys have bought lately you could have bought trail machines but you didn’t you bought the biggest and the baddest of Polaris and Can-Am so you really need to get an 1000R so we can see a real comparison I know it’s under powered compared to what you have but it would be awesome to see your ideas on bumping the power up and how that tranny holds up because I’m tired of watching the belt temp every time I hammer the hot silver lake sand dunes in the middle of July or even on a frozen river in the middle of February. Thanks for all the great videos I love them all keep up the great work fellas.👍👍

Awesome video, you guys have been next level lately. Love it. What did you think of the traction control compared to the viscolok or the Hilliard? Man, I really love the classic Honda red but I’m with you Leo, the green looks sweet.

Can't wait to see yall get one. Remy interested in how they hold up with mud and bigger tires since that's all we really have around me.

Looks like a good unit! Honda quality and reliability is where its at!!

Hellyeah!!!! The Talon looks like it’s no joke!!! Really cool car, and thanks for your review guys!!!! Very cool!!! HK

I've rode those dunes in my yxz and it felt like it needed more power too, its the altitude!! Also my pioneer 1000-5 is an awesome machine for plush ride slow or fast, shifting and crawling had blown me away. Glad to hear the talon is comfortable too. GO HONDA

@SXSBlog

Definetly green... u already have red. Glad u guys got to experience sand hallow in st george ut. Its a great area. Lil trail riding lil rock crawling lil dunning lil flat out. Funny i was going to say looks like they taking u to top o world !!!!! Theres a sxs event there in nov. Pretty decent turnout , might need to add it to the blog list !!!! I only say that cuz im 2 hrs away. One day ill meet u guys !

Looks like I found what I'm going to replace my 2015 Rzr 900 with. Now I just need to decide if I want an R or X . I'm very glad Honda finally made a sport SXS.

Sounds like a great machine. Looks like it's time to get a Honda Talon. You guys did a great job on the review but where's Doug? Get the R model, and in green if you really have to but not my choice. Keep up the great videos and have fun.

I really wanted your ride comparison to the RZR and MAV. Damn this thing looks like a great ride!

I'd get the x for my trailer because I'm cheap and not buying a car hauler. But that green is so tempting!

You can tell nick sues is a really good driver. His rhythm and fundamentals seem perfect. 👏

For how i ride and where i ride i would pick the x model. But id love to have either one.gotta save my pennys and pay my dues. Great video guys and thanks for giving real world driving and feed back

Thanks guys, bought a Turbo S a few months ago, but after your review just put a down payment/hold on the new Honda. The Turbo S was smooth and kinda fast, but you guys definitely were much more impressed with the Honda's speed and handling even without the big tires. Can't wait to blow past my buddies through the whoops and put a hurtin' on 'em on the drag strip.

Great review. I havent even driven or seen one yet in person and the Talon is already growing on me... A gps speed overlay would have been cool during the video. I was wondering the speed at what you were hitting stuff. Also Honda RED 4 life!

Green all the way awesome review love the R

I'm all about the Green one , planning to get me one in the near future. Did you guys get one ?? Love watching your all videos keep them going .

Another great review. Wonder why Honda didn’t change the tune just a bit for the R????? I think the X for me. Good job guys.

Hell yeah finally the talon awesome review fellas

man you guys ripped the hell out of that thing! i think i’d have to choose the X cuz i’m more of a trail rider. i think for your guys style of riding you should get the R.. unless you plan to do more trail rides. it was a little hard to take sous serious at time with his crazy ass hair lol but def a good time watching this video.. thank you!

@@SXSBlog based on everything I've seen on your channel I'm really leaning twards the talon x but I'm dying to hear and see your thoughts on the new krx 1000. I mostly right woods/mountain trails in upstate NY. Thank you for the reply. Big fan.

Awesome review. Makes me very intrigued with this machine. I'm a Honda guy and would love to get my hands on one. What's even better is you guys tested in my home town. I ride right from my house to those sand dunes and surrounding area. Did the Honda reps mention a future lineup with more hp? Maybe a turbo?

Watching Nick try and put those glove on reminded me of the OJ trails haha🖐

SH1T, I wished we could have these things here in Australia. They look like soooo much fun. Too many rules here. And a good video too. Is the suspension adjustable (rebound and dampening)? Perhaps some of that "front popping up" in the whoops could be reduced by slowing the rebound or softening the Dampening, to slow the rebound speed. Thanks again for a great video.

i would buy this with confidence no questions asked. honda just makes great quality products. and with this being their first SXS, they did a fantastic job from the looks of it. the dual clutch transmission seems so smooth and fast. i would much rather that over CVTs with their annoying monotone acceleration that never has an end point haha

Great review guys! I do however worry about anyone buying one hoping for more power, if this is like Honda’s past engines(several of which I currently own), it’s not going to be very responsive to power upgrades and I doubt Honda will make a turbo to add on. I’m sure someone in the aftermarket will make some power for it, eventually...

Thanks dudes really enjoyed the video!

Wow great reviews boys, they seem like very capable machines. Do you thing with some front shock adjustment you could get a flatter (like the X ) cornering machine? It seems like it could really benafit from having the paddles move with the steering wheel as well. Can't wait to hear this machine piped and tuned!

@SXSBlog

I think the cornering characteristics are right where this needs to be to maintain great ride quality. It never felt tippy.

I know what I want next after watching all your vids. I want a rs-1 and a talon R

when are you going to turn one of the sidexsides into a desert racer? I'm surprised we havent seen that yet. then the garage part can show all the fixes after every race and how each part held up. might also help on the parts side of everything as well. would enjoy seeing you race baja 500, 1000 and mint 400. just an idea. enjoy your feedback on all the different units. keep it up.

Y’all look for the Texas buggy boys at mud nationals! Some sweet rigs we got! Love to drink some beer and get to chat with y’all

Love you sxs blog guys. You have to remember of course it seems like it needs more HP. You guys are used to your turbos 168Hp and more. The question power wise real world power not on paper how does it compare to the rzr 1000?

I like the green. Way more than i thought. But you blog boys have enough wide units so i think the R would be better for a long term unit. Can't wait for the Blog beauty's to drive it and give a review.

Great job guys and congrats. I'm sure your trying not to burn any bridges, but I would like to hear your comparison thoughts to your previous vehicle initial impressions.
