The Talon 1000X-4P FOX Live Valve is built to elevate every journey into a true adventure. With roomy seating for four, it’s driven by our legendary 999 cc Unicam® engine and a seamless automatic Dual-Clutch Transmission. FOX’s cutting-edge semi-active suspension adapts instantly to the terrain, delivering unmatched control and comfort. Power, precision, and performance — perfectly engineered for Canada’s trails.
Features may include:
Experience unparalleled power with our liquid-cooled 999 cc parallel-twin engine, featuring the proven Unicam® cylinder head design from our championship-winning CRF450R motocrosser. This compact design allows for optimal weight distribution and ground clearance, while delivering high horsepower and abundant torque.
The engine breathes exceptionally well thanks to a high-lift, long-duration camshaft, twin 46 mm throttle bores, roller-tip rocker arms, and high-flow fuel injectors. The result is improved efficiency, reduced friction, and strong power output throughout the rpm range—perfect for off-road performance.
Semi-dry-sump lubrication keeps oil away from the crankshaft to prevent windage losses and ensures consistent oiling under extreme conditions. Oil-jet pistons help maintain cooler temperatures and better sealing, extending piston life and boosting power.
Clean air is critical for optimal performance. The air filter is positioned high over the engine and to the side for a steady supply of clean air, ensuring consistent engine output in all conditions.
Offsetting the cylinders’ crankpins by 270 degrees delivers a wide, smooth powerband and abundant torque, while integrated counterbalancers keep vibration to a minimum.
The engine is mounted behind the cab for optimal balance and neutral weight distribution. Rubber mounts isolate vibration for a smoother ride, and four engine mounts add strength under high loads.
Our class-leading Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) allows you to choose between manual or automatic control, and provides true engine braking and superior peformance to belt-driven CVTs. Steering-column paddle shifters let you override gears effortlessly, and Advanced Transmission Logic adapts to your driving style, holding or shifting gears for sport or relaxed driving.
The semi-active FOX Live Valve 2.5 shocks dynamically adjust compression damping for each wheel in real-time, reducing body roll, smoothing terrain navigation, and preventing bottoming. This setup combines independent double-wishbone front suspension (14.4 in travel) with 4+ link trailing-arm rear suspension (21.7 in travel), with FOX Live Valve shocks on both ends to maintain optimal wheel geometry, providing superior handling, plush comfort, and excellent control over rough terrain.
Dual-rate suspension springs combine a soft initial travel with a firmer second phase to resist bottoming and offer a balanced ride. Along with a slight rear weight bias (44% front, 56% rear), the Talon achieves optimal sport driving dynamics with stable handling, precise steering, and high-speed tracking.
A longer 2,957 mm (116.4 in) wheelbase improves ride comfort and stability, while adjustments to the wheelbase enhance maneuverability and make navigating technical terrain, loading, and unloading easier.
