Talon 1000X owners who want to run bigger tires usually hit the same wall. The tires rub somewhere, often at full lock or when the suspension compresses. A lift can help, but where the wheel sits matters too.
The Honda Talon 1000X 1.5″ Forward Offset Boxed A-Arms from SuperATV, sold at Wild Boar ATV Parts, address that by changing the position of the wheel itself.
What forward offset does
These A-arms add a 1.5-inch forward offset, which moves the wheel forward compared to stock. That extra space between the tire and the back of the wheel well is what allows larger tires to turn and compress without rubbing. The arms also add 1.5 inches of ground clearance. Together, those changes let the Talon 1000X fit tires up to 34 inches.
Boxed construction
SuperATV builds these arms with 1/8-inch heavy-duty steel plating in a boxed design. Boxed arms are closed on all sides, which helps them resist bending when you land hard or hit a rock. That strength is welcome when you add bigger, heavier tires that put more force through the suspension. A UV-resistant powder coat finish helps protect the arms from rust and sun fading.
Features worth noting
- Adjustable pivot blocks for full camber adjustability
- Uses the stock A-arm bushings
- Bushing removal tool included
- Sold as a set of two
Camber adjustment is a big deal after a suspension change. Being able to dial it in helps the tires wear evenly and keeps the Talon tracking straight. Including the bushing removal tool also saves a trip to buy or borrow one. Reusing the stock bushings keeps the install simpler and means you are not hunting for special replacement parts. After the arms are on, plan to get an alignment check so the toe and camber are set before you hit the trail.
Planning your Talon build
Forward offset arms are usually part of a bigger plan. If you are going to 34-inch tires, think about the whole package: wheels with the right offset, possible clutch changes for the added tire size, and axles that can handle the extra load. Confirm that these arms fit your exact Talon 1000X model and year before ordering. If you would like help mapping out the build, give the Wild Boar team a call at 850-912-4350.
