The DOHC liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine uses a square bore & stroke of 67 mm x 66.8 mm for an optimum combination of strong low-end torque and excellent top-end power and performance.

Assist Slipper clutchNot only does the assist slipper clutch help to prevent rear-wheel lockup on downshifts, it also reduces effort at the lever by almost half, helping to reduce rider fatigue particularly in city traffic or on long rides. |
Exhaust systemThe exhaust system features dual exit pipes resulting in improved exhaust flow, extra power and a sportier-sounding edge to the exhaust note. |
Smooth and compactEngine vibration is kept to a minimum by using crank pins phased at 180 degrees and a balancer shaft behind the cylinders, which also contributes to the engine’s compact size. |
Crisp throttle responsePGM-FI electronic fuel injection keeps the engine running efficiently in all conditions and ensures crisp throttle response. |
Maximized efficiencyIn order to maximize air-intake and exhaust efficiency, the profile from the air cleaner through the intake ports to the exhaust pipe was made as straight as possible, helped in part by repositioning the battery away from the rear of the airbox intake duct. |
Easy shiftingThe gear indicator and adjustable shift-up indicator make it even easier to use the smooth-shifting six-speed gearbox. The slipper clutch not only helps to prevent rear-wheel lockup on downshifts, it also reduces effort at the lever by almost half, helping to reduce rider fatigue particularly in city traffic or on long rides. |
Excellent response & feedbackThe lightweight diamond-shaped steel frame was designed to allow a certain degree of yield, which enables it to better respond to changes in the road surface and to transmit just the right amount of feedback to the rider. |
Suspension DynamicsFor even better off-road performance and overall comfort, the front suspension features Showa 41mm Separate Function Fork Big Piston (SFF-BP) USD forks. The rear suspension provides more to compliment the front suspension. A single-tube rear shock helps ensure excellent suspension response and better heat dissipation. |
Wheels & TiresThe lightweight cast aluminum wheels, large 19-inch front wheel and aggressive front and rear tires help to make the CB500X even better at handling rough surfaces and contribute to the bike’s excellent manoeuvrability. |
Powerful brakingPowerful dual disc brakes with radial-mounted calipers up front and a single-piston caliper at the back are designed to provide strong but easily controlled stopping power – even in difficult conditions. Equipped with sophisticated Honda ABS. Wave brake rotors with superlative heat-dissipating qualities are lighter than conventional discs of the same diameter, which helps to further reduce the bike’s unsprung weight. |
Enhanced comfortThe seat provides long-range comfort while offsetting the increase in suspension travel, thereby maintaining an ideal seat height for on/off-road riding. Plus, a tall windscreen provides improved weather protection. |
Easy to manageThe rear section of the frame was designed to facilitate a seat height of 830 mm, which allows most riders to easily plant their feet on the ground when stopped. The seat profile, too, has been slimmed by shaving the shoulders at the front, making it even easier to move on the bike and reach the ground at stops. |
Aggressive lookSleek bodywork includes a front cowl that leaves much of the engine exposed for an aggressive, adventure look. Bright LED lights and turn signals keep weight and power consumption low. |
Comfortable riding positionErgonomics were carefully configured to ensure an unrestricted riding position that allows easy manoeuvring in town, an easy reach to the ground, as well as excellent comfort during long-distance highway trips. |
Convenient storageA utility space under the seat accommodates a U-lock, wet weather gear or other items. |
More upgradesThe CB500X’s long list of premium features now also includes brighter LEDs and PGM-FI settings to improve engine character with increased power to low-end torque. |
