ENGINEERING
DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE
Offering plenty of power and torque in the midrange, the CB500X features a 471cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. Light, narrow, and powerful, it just strikes the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
ABS comes standard on the CB500X, helping you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal riding conditions.
EXHAUST
Who doesn’t love the sound of a twin-cylinder motorcycle? We gave the muffler on the CB500X twin mufflers. It’s a little thing, but it’ll make you smile every time you ride.
PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION PGM-FI
The injector bodies help the CB500X make even more power. The bike’s PGM-FI continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered for the existing riding and atmospheric conditions for crisp throttle response throughout a wide variety of riding conditions.
SLIPPER ASSIST CLUTCH
The slipper/assist clutch lets us lighten up the clutch-lever effort by 45 percent compared to previous systems but automatically locks up tight when you release it.
HANDLING
UPSIDE-DOWN FORK
The CB500X features an inverted-fork design that makes the front end much more rigid, for more precise steering input and feedback. The fork itself is a Showa Separate Function Fork–Big Piston (SFF-BP) design—one of the best in its class.
DISC BRAKES
The CB500X features large twin front disc brakes so you get strong, predictable stopping power. The front brake lever is also adjustable for a perfect fit.
PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension features a shock with a nine-stage adjustable spring preload to increase riding comfort and handling. The shock absorber features large-diameter internals for even better-damping characteristics and a smoother ride.
LIGHT SWINGARM CONSTRUCTION
The CB500X uses a swingarm that’s over two pounds lighter than the previous design but is just as strong. It’s one of the reasons the entire Honda 500 family handles so well.
SMOOTHER TRANSMISSION
Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission, to help you get smoother shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.
STYLE
UNIQUE STYLE
The CB500X just looks right—tough, capable, no-nonsense. Plus, the adventure-bike posture and seating position let you move around freely.
DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION
An easy-to-read LCD screen features a digital speedometer, tachometer, and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters, and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
LED LIGHTING
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.
MULTI-SPOKE CAST WHEELS
Strong and stylish, the CB500X’s lightweight multi-spoke cast-aluminum wheels are easy to keep clean, look great, enhance handling, and are another CB500X feature that just makes sense.
TWO-POSITION WINDSCREEN
Want to fine-tune your CB500X to your height or to changing riding conditions? No worries—the CB500X features a two-position windscreen. Want more airflow? Set it lower. Want improved wind and weather protection? Just set it to the taller position.
COMFORT
TALL WINDSCREEN
The CB500X’s windscreen offers excellent wind protection.
PASSENGER HANDHOLDS
Sturdy passenger handholds provide security for your passenger or tie-down points for smaller items.
STEP SEAT
The CB500X seat gives you an open, unrestricted riding position that’s perfect for both touring and commuting, and that still offers room for a passenger. The seat’s narrow width makes it easier to put your feet down at stoplights or in parking lots.
