Building a Community Around a Problem: The TALON RIDE Journey

This summer, much of the focus at VISTA MOTO has been on the launch of TALON RIDE. What began as a small idea to solve a universal rider frustration has grown into a product that’s already helping riders enjoy their adventures with more comfort and less frustration. Whether fueling up on the commute or getting to your destination on weekend ride, TALON RIDE is delivering benefits that riders truly appreciate.

The TALON RIDE community is diverse, widespread, and enthusiastic. While fitment limits which bikes can use TALON RIDE, the utility is being experienced across the U.S.—whether riding to a meetup, arriving at camp, training for dirt competitions, or tackling two-up rides through desert landscapes.

What’s been most rewarding isn’t just seeing TALON RIDE in action—it’s hearing the stories that come back from the road. Riders share how it’s simplified their setups, added convenience on long trips, and even sparked conversations at fuel stops and campsites. Each story reinforces why we built this product in the first place: to eliminate frustration and make the ride better.

Equally exciting is the sense of community forming around TALON RIDE. Social posts, rider meetups, and events have all become places where the product isn’t just being used—it’s being celebrated. That rider-to-rider connection is powerful, and it shows a great way we can build community is by sharing what we’ve learned about riding smarter and with less frustration.

So share your experience proudly—point out TALON RIDE to fellow riders who may not know about it, and let others see the difference it makes in your ride.

And please share your feedback with us at info@vistamoto.com, on our social channels, or at a rally or event where VISTA MOTO is present. We love your stories, we design new products based on your input, and we thrive on your support.
