Honda reveals 2024 Talon lineup, returning two-wheel models

American Honda has revealed its full line of sport side-by-sides, with seven versions offered across two- and four-seat configurations. The company also announced the return of 11 motorcycle models, representing six unique categories from sport bikes to dual sports and scooters.

2024 Talon lineup

Since its introduction in 2019, the Honda Talon has offered off-road enthusiasts a highly capable platform for navigating all types of challenging terrain, with X versions tailored for wooded two-track and R iterations ready for rugged desert trails. The 2024 lineup offers both standard and FOX Live Valve versions available – the former featuring new, premium Showa suspension that delivers a comfortable ride while still absorbing big hits.

“As the Talon platform enters its sixth year in production, Honda is pleased to offer such an accomplished collection of sport side-by-sides for 2024,” says Brandon Wilson, manager of Racing and Experiential Marketing at American Honda. “In a relatively short period, the Talon has won over a growing contingent of customers who appreciate the platform’s ability to deliver not only performance but also reliability and dependability to the off-road experience.”

Talon 1000 Two-Seat Versions
The two-seater Talon is offered in two basic configurations—the nimble-handling 1000X, which shines in tight technical terrain, and the 1000R, favoring high speeds and open terrain. Both the Talon 1000R and Talon 1000X are available with intelligent FOX Live Valve technology, featuring adaptive suspension capabilities.

New for 2024, the non-Live Valve Talons are equipped with premium Showa suspension, the result of a close collaboration between Honda and Showa engineers, who focused on enhancing ride comfort and rebound control while maintaining the shocks’ bottoming resistance for bigger impacts. All are ideal for delivering off-road adventure for a driver and passenger.

Talon 1000 Four-Seat Versions
First offered in 2020, the four-seat Talon 1000 platform has allowed owners to bring more family and friends on their off-road adventures, with a rear seating area that offers unrivaled passenger comfort and visibility. Like the two-seaters, the four-seat Talon 1000 is offered in X and R configurations—the former shining in tight, technical conditions, and the latter favoring higher speeds and open terrain.

Both the X and R four-seaters are available with high-tech self-adjusting FOX Live Valve suspension, while the X is also offered in a standard version that features new, premium Showa shock absorbers for 2024. The result of a close collaboration between Showa and Honda engineers, the new shocks enhance ride comfort and rebound control while maintaining the shocks’ bottoming resistance for bigger impacts.

2024 returning two-wheel models  

For riders who prioritize performance on the pavement, the iconic CBR1000RR, CBR600RR and CB1000R return for the 2024 model year. Introduced last year, the retro-inspired SCL500 “scrambler”-style model is back and available in a new color. In addition, the approachable PCX scooter continues to offer affordable, efficient and convenient transportation for urban dwellers.

The top-selling CRF300L, CRF300LS, CRF300L Rally, XR650L and XR150L all return for the new model year.

True to form, the upright riding position, flat seat, iconic rubber tank pads and high-mounted exhaust are a nod to ancestors of the SCL500, including the CL72 and CL77.
