Sand Hollow Resort hosted a media event for the all-new Honda Talon 1000 sport side-by-side lineup on March 4, 2019 at the Red Rock outdoor venue. After the product launch, attendees enjoyed a delicious catered dinner and blazing bonfires on the spectacular property.

 

The highlight of the event was the chance to test drive the two long-awaited UTVs — the Talon 1000R and the Talon 1000X — around the beautiful, rugged Southern Utah landscapes.

 

Honda chose Southern Utah’s picturesque landscapes to launch their first sport UTVs and allow drivers to experience the thrilling terrain firsthand.
