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.

Adjustable Windscreen

• The windscreen on the CB500X is manually adjustable up to 40mm for optimal wind protection.

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.

Disc Brakes

• The front 320mm wave-style disc brake and 240mm rear provides strong stopping power.

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.

Emissions

• Meets current EPA standards. Models sold in California meet current CARB standards and may differ slightly due to emissions equipment.

Halogen Headlight

• A single 60-watt H4 halogen headlight and multi-facet reflector on the CB500X give the front end a unique look and also project plenty of light on the road for visibility.

Long-Travel Front Suspension

• The long stroke 41mm front fork yields a full 5.5" of travel, and a wide handlebar allows for easy steering inputs.

Lower Cowl

• The CB500X is equipped with a lower cowl to help protect the exhaust pipe and engine from debris when riding on rough surfaces. Air intakes are incorporated into the design to provide effective cooling.

Programmed Fuel-Injection (PGM-FI)

• Programmed Fuel Injection (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.

Pro-Link Rear Suspension

• A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension, with 9-stage preload and 4.7 inches travel gives you a comfortable ride over small bumps, while capably absorbing bigger bumps to increase riding comfort and handling.

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.

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.

Unique Style

• The CB500X is a lightweight, dynamic motorcycle that offers adventure style with an upright riding position. While not a dual-sport, the CB500X still has the posture of an adventure machine with a unique fuel tank design that offers the ability to freely move the body weight.
