Make life an adventure.
Whether it’s a canyon road or a painstaking commute, the CB500X handles it all. It’s equipped with a torquey 471cc parallel-twin DOHC engine that transforms point A to Point B into an unforgettable adventure. It also sports an upright handlebar, an adjustable, compact windscreen for longer rides, and a large-capacity fuel tank that’s designed to give the rider an unrestricted riding position. And since it’s priced right, you can start your adventure today.
Powerful, Torque Rich Twin-Cylinder Engine: The CB500X’s 471cc, liquid-cooled engine features parallel cylinders with dual overhead cams that deliver more than enough power and torque with excellent efficiency, thanks in large part to its electronic Programmed Fuel Injection.
Take It All In: The CB500X utilizes a classic upright riding position. This, and a wide handlebar, taller seat and a tighter knees-in fuel tank design, help you maximize your feeling of oneness with the bike and the road.
Accessorize Your Ride: Honda Accessories let you prepare for whatever you might find down the road. Choose from great options like hand guards, heated grips, lightbar, trunk, saddlebags and more.
- LED Headlight: With a clean, rough-and-ready look, the CB500X’s LED headlight and multi-facet reflector project plenty of light on the road for visibility.
- Digital Instrumentation: An amber-tinted full LCD screen features digital speedometer and tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
- 12-Spoke Cast Wheels: Strong and stylish, the CB500X’s lightweight 12-spoke cast-aluminum wheels—120/70-17 in front and 160/60-17 rear—are easy to keep clean, look great, enhance handling and are another CB500X feature that just makes sense.
- Unique Style: Adventure doesn’t have to mean bottomless mud pits a continent away. Like your favorite blue jeans, the CB500X just looks right—tough, capable, no-nonsense. Plus, the adventure-bike posture and seating position let you move around freely—just like your jeans!
- Step Seat: The CB500X’s 32-inch seat height and unrestricted riding position offer freedom of movement for usage in both touring and commuting. You’ll find that it’s perfect for around-town riding and also offers plenty of room for a passenger.
- Steel-Tube Frame: A motorcycle’s frame is the basis for its handling. A take on a classic construction, the CB500X’s diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for superior ride and handling.
- DOHC Twin Cylinder Engine: Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CB500X engine is one of our best ever. Using the same piston bore size as our CBR600RR sportbike, the parallel-twin engine offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges.
- Pro-Link® Rear Suspension: A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension, with 9-stage preload and 4.7 inches of travel gives you a comfortable ride over small bumps, while capably absorbing bigger bumps to increase riding comfort and handling.
