Honda returns the Talon 1000 sport SxS for the 2026 model year

American Honda confirmed it is bringing back the Talon sport side-by-side lineup for the 2026 model year, with the R range getting upgraded 30-inch tires for enhanced performance over rough terrain.

The 2026 Talon 1000 range will feature six purpose-built configurations across both two-seat and four-seat platforms. This year, the two R trim levels receive factory-equipped 30-inch tires to increase ground clearance and improve obstacle-rolling capability. The four X versions retain their 28-inch tires, optimized for agility and precision in tighter terrain.

“Whether you’re carving through technical trails or hitting top speeds across open terrain, the 2026 Talon lineup delivers confidence-inspiring performance and versatility,” says Colin Miller, manager of experiential marketing at American Honda. “Made in the USA using domestic and globally made parts, these side-by-sides feature purpose-matched tire sizing and tailored trim options, and are engineered to meet the diverse needs and preferences of off-road enthusiasts.”
