I replied to your other post before I seen this one about the turbo. Haven’t been to the dunes near me yet, due to the supposed lack of power.This was our big test weekend. I have driven every side by side on the market over the last two years. We've been on many runs with many makes and models. I have a lot of experience with multiple machines. Now bear in mind this is my first run with the Honda Talent In the Dunn's. As an overall 8 day test, I'm was very surprised at how great it did in the sand with no paddles. I was able to go anywhere the paddle cars went, I went everywhere the big sand buggies went, Quads and 2 wheelers. This thing was able to do everything I threw at it. It went up faces that other sxs could not. I never felt underpowered (I am not turbo), never felt too heavy, at no point did I feel like I was going to roll it (don't get me wrong I got close a few times just seeing how hard I could push it) My wife had a few OMG moments, but in the end, she felt very safe in it. By the way, everyone told me I would have to turbo it, after this week I see no need to. it has all the power you need to dune any dune you want to go. Stay tuned for more video this is only one of my from my week in Glamis
Sounds good. Were you running stock tires and wheels?This was our big test weekend. I have driven every side by side on the market over the last two years.

before I drove it I was planing on buy one, after 8 days in the dunes, it has of power,I replied to your other post before I seen this one about the turbo. Haven’t been to the dunes near me yet, due to the supposed lack of power.
no, I have 31" on itSounds good. Were you running stock tires and wheels?
The added tire height should have been a negative. I have 33’s on mine and like you said the transmission is a game changer.no, I have 31" on it
I guess on my next trip, I have to pay attention to my speedometer.... SORRY REALLY NOT GOING TO DO THAT.How fast was it up China Wall?
all day long, on every big hill we went up the 4 seaters Talon passed the 4 seater Polaris turbo.I would have to see the proof of your nonturbo Talon passing the turbo

What model of 30" tire?
what did you air down to?Wow, surprised your KM3's did so well in sand. I just started running them as an "all-around" tire choice (30X10-15 on Method 410 Rims), but I have been disappointed in their sand performance, even aired down. Everywhere else (hardpack, rocky trails, rock crawling, etc.), I can't imagine a better tire! Those closely spaced treads, just can't get a bite in the sand. (I can't comment about mud, but it is probably false advertising to call this a "Mud-Terrain" tire.)
