AJK Offroad Honda Talon High Clearance Radius Rods
The AJK Offroad Honda Talon High Clearance Radius Rods are the most popular suspension upgrade available for the Talon 1000X and 1000R — adding meaningful ground clearance to the front suspension travel arc by lifting the radius rod sweep path away from rocks and trail obstacles. Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and adding 2.70" of ground clearance over the factory rods, these are available for upper, lower, or both configurations in multiple powder coat colors. Made in the USA by AJK Offroad.
Key Features & Benefits
- Adds 2.70" Ground Clearance — High clearance geometry lifts the radius rod travel arc 2.70" above the factory rod path — a significant improvement for rocky and technical terrain
- 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum — Lightweight yet strong — the right material balance for a suspension component that needs to absorb trail impacts without adding excess weight
- Upper, Lower, or Both Configurations — Buy what your build needs — lower rods for maximum ground clearance impact, or both for the full upgrade
- Multiple Color Options — Available in Ghost Gray, Orange, Red, Blue, Green, Black, and Raw for a color-matched or custom build
- Sold as a Pair — Driver and passenger side rods included
- Direct Bolt-On — Uses factory Talon mounting points with no frame modification

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get upper, lower, or both?
The lower radius rods see the most ground contact on rocky terrain and provide the biggest clearance benefit. Most riders start with lower rods. Upgrading both gives you the full 2.70" clearance gain across the complete suspension travel arc — the recommended choice for technical rocky terrain and serious desert riding.
Do these change the Talon's ride height or alignment?
No — the high clearance rods maintain the factory ride height and alignment geometry. They only change the physical path the rod takes through suspension travel to create clearance from trail obstacles.
Are these compatible with the Talon 1000X-4 (4-seat)?
Yes — the front suspension geometry is the same across 2-seat and 4-seat Talon 1000X and 1000R models.
What rod ends are used on these rods?
These use quality rod ends that meet or exceed factory specification. The AJK 5/8 Rod End / Hyme Joint is available separately if replacement rod ends are ever needed.
Are these compatible with aftermarket long travel suspension?
These are designed for stock-geometry front suspension. Contact the team at Dunes 2 Dezert SXS for guidance on compatibility with any specific aftermarket suspension kit on your Talon.
