Not long ago, when someone would ask me what the single
best improvement for their SXS would be, I would answer
quickly with absolute certainty, "Suspension."

HONDA TALON FOX LIVE VALVE REVIEW

This answer was instinctive just because the stock suspension is typically
great for the average SXS owner but if you used your machine to the top cor-
ners of its performance envelope then you would need some shock work. No
matter what SXS you have, building the biggest engine on the planet that will
do wheel stands for miles and burn the tires off will eventually be ineffective
in many ways and especially in the tight woods. If that rig will not cut a corner
on rails or hit a deep whoop section without terrorizing you as well as your pas-
sengers then your big power is, for the most part, no good too you at all. Fast
forward to just a couple of years ago and you have Honda delivering a most
intelligent suspension system on their hotrod Talon lineup.
