was unforgiving yet at the end of the day there was still
plenty of eager drivers wanting to tackle the nighttime air
in the Talon with FOX Live Valve.
We had a similar experience testing the new 1000x
Fox Live Valve two-seater in Montana. The nimble "X"
model loves the Live Valve system as it allows aggres-
sive riding and maximum control. The system was most
impressive on downhills and off-camber downhill turns.
There, it almost "planes" the vehicle out in anticipation
of elevation changes and makes it ultra-planted as it
churns around corners. Combined with real compression
braking, FOX Live Valve is a game-changer. Oh, did we
mention it works wonders with Launch Mode!? It does.
Engage Launch Mode and feel the Live Valve really work
as the surge of acceleration is quickly pushed forward
with a leveling of the vehicle as you accelerate. It actual-
ly makes the Honda Talon feel faster!
It is very apparent that Honda has worked hard to
provide a solution to the myths surrounding suspension
adjusting and technology. Getting a feature component
that works while the driver and passengers enjoy the ad-
venture is something everyone looks for in the off-road
world and we appreciate that tremendously. According
to Honda, all of this hard work was done on your behalf
to make Life better SXS. And we couldn't agree more.
If you have a choice between going with Fox Live Valve
and going without. Go with Fox Live Valve every time.
