Powerful 999cc twin-cylinder engine

Experience unparalleled power with our liquid-cooled 999cc inline-twin engine, boasting high horsepower, ample torque, and unmatched refinement throughout the rpm range.

Automatic six-speed DCT

Our automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) boasts a class-leading gear-driven setup, giving you manual or automatic control. It has efficient power delivery, true engine braking, and superior performance compared to belt-driven CVTs.

Full-coverage hard doors

Hard doors are standard, offering full coverage and excellent weather protection. They provide extra storage space with cupholders and secure compartments. Doors use a double-latch design that’s rattle-free.

Shorter wheelbase

The 87.6-inch wheelbase contributes to this sport side-by-side’s tracking while also giving you a super-smooth ride. At 64 inches wide and shorter than the Talon 1000R, the Talon 1000X emphasizes quick handling and maneuverability.

Engine air intake

Clean air is needed to maximize your engine's performance, which is why we positioned the air filter high over the engine in the rear and the air intake off to the side.

Tuned exhaust

Improved intake and more fuel delivery require an equally tuned exhaust system, and this beast delivers. Not only does it provide some beautiful mechanical exhaust notes, but it helps the engine deliver smooth, even power.

Hill Start Assist

Hill Start Assist automatically holds you in position while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator—there’s no roll-back drama. It even works on the downhills, too!

Advanced Transmission Logic

The brain of the DCT, Advanced Transmission Logic, senses how you drive and adapts. Relaxed drivers get earlier shifts, while sportier drivers will hold each gear longer. And when going downhill, you get true engine braking.

Skid plate

Off-road driving can be challenging, and rough terrain can be unforgiving. We offer generous skid protection and a wide range of accessories to help protect vulnerable undercarriage and suspension components.

Front bumper

The standard front bumper offers a degree of vehicle protection other side-by-sides lack. But this smart design doesn’t compromise performance, as it’s designed to help slide smoothly over obstacles in rough conditions.

Painted body

Painted body parts resist scratches and look better, so there's no need to slow down for small brushes on the trail. See for yourself—solid and stylish!

Aerodynamic roof

The roof is designed to divert rainwater and is aerodynamically cooperative, allowing easy transportation, whether facing forward or backward on a trailer.

Comfortable seats

Designed to be the most comfortable in the industry, the seats feature a wide seatback and an even wider seat bottom, offering tons of lateral support. They’re even compatible with four-point harnesses.

Large cargo bed

The cargo bed sits up, out of harm’s way, and easily accessible. It is big enough to hold a large 45-quart cooler with room to spare. It has a 299-pound capacity and six tie-down points.

Accessory ready

It is easier than ever to install accessories due to the positive pre-wire from the factory under the front hood that easily integrates with our accessories.

Twin-level front passenger footrests

Passengers have plenty of legroom, even for those over six feet tall and wearing bulky boots. The two-level footrests allow for solid bracing on rough terrain or relaxation while cruising.
