Back by popular demand, the Talon 1000X‑2P FOX Live Valve returns with its proven combination of agility, durability and crisp handling—now elevated by the addition of Honda’s advanced semi‑active FOX Live Valve suspension. Purpose‑built for riders who thrive on tight, technical terrain, the updated two‑seat model continues to deliver the sharp responsiveness and trail confidence Canadian off‑road enthusiasts expect.

For 2026, Honda Canada proudly adds a brand‑new model to its Side‑by‑Side portfolio: the Talon 1000X‑4P FOX Live Valve. This four‑passenger configuration brings the same high‑performance characteristics of the Talon 1000X platform to families, groups, and adventure‑focused riders seeking shared off‑road experiences without compromising capability. With spacious stadium style seating, refined ergonomics, and the confidence‑boosting performance of FOX Live Valve semi‑active suspension, the new 4‑seat variant enhances Honda’s presence in Canada’s Sport SXS category.

FOX Live Valve Suspension

2026 Talon models feature FOX Live Valve, a terrain‑adaptive suspension system that continuously adjusts damping at each wheel in real time. This technology delivers improved stability, reduced body roll, and smoother absorption of bumps, ruts, and uneven surfaces—allowing drivers to maintain confidence and control even in challenging conditions.

The return of the Talon 1000X‑2P, combined with the introduction of the all‑new Talon 1000X‑4P, reinforces Honda Canada’s commitment to offering performance‑driven, capable, and versatile Sport SxS options for riders across the country.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (January 29, 2024) – The 2024 UTV racing season got underway this past weekend at King of the Hammers (KOH) with the 5th annual Desert Challenge, and Polaris Factory Racing continued the momentum from its dominant 2023 with Brock Heger and Max Eddy Jr. capturing first and second overall UTV in the B3 UTV Open class respectively. 

Piloting his RZR Pro R Factory, Heger, the 2023 SCORE UTV Pro Open Champion, was unstoppable throughout the weekend, finishing first in the prologue race and leading wire-to-wire during the final challenge to take the checkered flag. In his debut appearance as an official Polaris Factory Racing driver, Eddy Jr. put forth an inspiring performance in his RZR Pro R Factory, working his way through the pack to finish second overall behind his teammate. Rounding out the B3 UTV Open class podium sweep was fellow Polaris racer Wayne Matlock in his race-modified RZR Pro R. 

When the race got underway, Heger was quick off the line, taking the early lead and setting a blistering pace up front. Throughout the two-lap 182-mile race, Heger put his RZR Pro R Factory through its paces and the vehicle performed flawlessly, taking on everything the Johnson Valley terrain had to offer. Ultimately, with his lead expanded to nearly one minute during lap two, Heger navigated his way to a relatively easy victory. But things weren’t quite as smooth for Eddy Jr. A difficult prologue race found him starting the Desert Challenge in 14th, but the five-time Baja 1000 motorcycle champion showed exactly why he earned the seat for 2024 in the RZR Pro R Factory, slicing and dicing his way through a deep field to finish second overall. 

“We wanted to pick up where we left off and get our fifth consecutive victory and our fourth consecutive UTV Overall win, and it feels pretty incredible to do exactly that at an event as significant as Hammers,” said Heger. “With this event being more of an all-out sprint, it really demonstrated the incredible power of the RZR Pro R Factory, in addition to its overall strength and reliability. This vehicle, and our entire operation, is getting more and more dialed in with every race, and after all our success, it’s pretty amazing to think that we’re still improving.” 

“After four consecutive victories in 2023, it’s pretty mind-blowing to come out here and not only get another win, but sweep the podium with RZR Pro Rs at Hammers,” said Alex Scheuerell, Polaris Factory Racing Technical Director. “Our Factory Racing drivers are amazing, and it’s incredibly gratifying to see the RZR Pro R Factory dominating the field. But to have Wayne (Matlock) take the final podium spot in a modified stock Pro R further validates our Pro R platform as the best all around side-by-side in the game.” 

Polaris Factory Racing still has some work to do in Johnson Valley this week, as Heger takes his skills to the UTV Championship Rock Race later in the week, behind the wheel of a nearly stock RZR Turbo R.

Polaris Factory Racing Team Expands 2024 Schedule to Eight Races, Adding King of the Hammers

Desert and Rock Events, the Mint 400, and Vegas to Reno

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (January 22, 2024) – With the 2024 UTV racing season kicking off with the King of the Hammers Desert Challenge this Sunday, Polaris Off Road is pleased to welcome Max Eddy Jr. to the Polaris Factory Racing lineup as the team’s fourth driver of record. Eddy Jr. is not new to Polaris or the factory program, having spent the past few seasons as co-driver for racing veteran and now SCI team principal Craig Scanlon. Now, for 2024, Eddy will take the reins and pilot his own race-ready RZR Pro R Factory vehicle at each of the team’s eight scheduled events. 

Eddy Jr. has built a reputation as one of the most notable motorcycle racers south of the border, having amassed an impressive resume, including five Baja 500 and five Baja 1000 victories and a Best in the Desert championship. After hanging up his motorcycle jersey, Eddy Jr. shifted his focus to four wheels and kick-started the next phase in his career by navigating for numerous trophy truck teams. He then found himself behind the wheel of a Polaris RZR and began making waves in UTV racing. Throughout the 2023 season, Eddy Jr. co-drove with Scanlon at all four SCORE championship events, highlighted by a victory at the San Felipe 250.

“We are thrilled to officially welcome Max to the Polaris Factory Racing program,” said Alex Scheuerell, Polaris Factory Racing Technical Director. “He was already an integral part of our team, having been working with Craig for years, so giving him this opportunity made complete sense. He has an impressive race resume and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our program. We look forward to seeing him battle for wins behind the wheel of the RZR Pro R Factory this season.” 

“I’m beyond grateful to have been given this opportunity to be a factory driver for Polaris; it is a dream come true,” explained Eddy Jr. “This is a strong team that really proved itself to the whole industry by capturing the SCORE championship in its first season, and I’m eager to add to that success in 2024. The RZR Pro R Factory is an incredible platform providing us drivers the power, strength, and control necessary to tackle the tough demands of desert racing. I can’t wait to show everyone what I’m capable of.” 

Throughout the 2023 season, Polaris Factory Racing focused its efforts on the SCORE International series, dominating the competition and securing the SCORE Pro UTV Open Class Championship with wins at each of the four events – San Felipe 250, Baja 400, Baja 500, and Baja 1000. For 2024, the team will contest the SCORE series again but has expanded its race schedule, making multiple stops stateside at King of the Hammers Desert and Rock events, the Mint 400, and Vegas to Reno. 

Following the KOH Desert Challenge this Sunday, January 28, the Polaris Factory Racing team will contest the UTV Hammers Championship Rock Race on Thursday, February 1, before shifting their focus to the Mint 400 March 6-10.

20 years of growth*

BRP has experienced exceptional growth. In 20 years, the company has tripled its global market share, becoming the world’s leading powersports original equipment manufacturer (OEM). It has grown from 7,500 to 23,000 employees in 26 countries. Revenues have more than quadrupled from CAD 2.4 billion to over CAD 10 billion, and BRP now offers 8 diversified product lines covering all seasons and catering to the whole family, from pure adrenaline enthusiasts to weekend adventurers.

“I’ve had the privilege of being President and CEO of BRP since its founding. When Bombardier made the decision to sell its recreational products division 20 years ago, I told all the employees that this was our chance to prove to the world that we could succeed as a standalone company,” said José Boisjoli, President and CEO of BRP. “Today, one out of every three powersports products sold in the world carries the BRP logo. We took bold risks to deliver the best experiences to our rider communities across all of our product lines.”

BRP has established itself as an innovative company, challenging industry norms. From the Ski-Doo REV platform that transformed the snowmobile experience, to the Sea-Doo Spark that redefined entryv level personal watercraft, the side-by-side vehicles that challenged performance and racing standards,

*All numbers in the press release are as of July 31, 2023 and the Can-Am Spyder and Ryker that shaped the three-wheel category, BRP has consistently pushed the boundaries of technology, design and of the riding experience.

The global expansion of BRP, which is still headquartered in Valcourt, Quebec, is not limited to its products. With a network of nearly 3,000 dealers worldwide, BRP now sells its products in 130 countries. The company has strengthened its ties with strategic partners and invested in communities around the world, from Valcourt, Quebec, to Finland, Mexico, and the United States. BRP’s manufacturing footprint has grown from 7 to 14 sites worldwide.

“We grew together with BRP, we’ve been partnering for 16 years. People at BRP listen and truly try to make things better, and I think the dealer network is strong because of that,” said John Kalogerou at Johnny K’s Powersports. “The innovative products that they keep coming out are rejuvenating our industry and helping the business grow. It only keeps things exciting!”

Looking to the future

BRP remains focused on the future. The company is committed to reducing its carbon footprint, and invests heavily in new technologies, expertise and innovation. Furthermore, BRP wants to become the reference for electric recreational vehicles, and aims to have 50% of its units sold as electric by 2035. BRP is also exploring new markets – such as urban mobility – and intends to strengthen its position in the marine industry.

BRP celebrates two decades while remaining true to its core values: passion, drive, ingenuity and trust. Guided by adventure, the company continues to share unique experiences with the world while pursuing its commitment to inclusivity and fighting against intimidation.

“Behind these twenty years of growth are, above all, our people. They are people of heart, ingenuity and passion, who are ready to meet the challenges of our industry and eager to innovate. Our employees are the foundation of our culture, the one we call “yellow blood”, after the color of Joseph-Armand Bombardier’s first snowmobile. I would like to thank them sincerely,” says José Boisjoli. “I would also like to express my gratitude to our dealers around the world. Their enthusiasm and commitment to our products have played a vital role in our worldwide success. Finally, I would like to thank our customers. They are at the heart of everything we do, and it is them who motivate us to keep pushing the boundaries of innovation.”
