Honda CB500X Highlights

Likely to be launched by the end of 2020, the Honda CB500X will be the brand’s first adventure tourer in the country. It is essentially a road-biased adventure tourer which will rival the likes of the Benelli TRK 502. Expect the Honda CB500X to be priced at Rs 5.5 lakh (ex-showroom) and will be launched as a CKD product initially. If there’s enough demand, Honda might fully localise the ADV some time in the future. 

Powering the road-biased Honda CB500X ADV is a 471cc parallel-twin engine. It is capable of producing 47.5PS at 8600rpm and 43Nm at 6500rpm. The engine is mated to a 6-speed transmission with assist and slipper clutch. It offers a claimed mileage of 28.6kmpl. The bike employs a 41mm telescopic front fork and a Pro-Link monoshock with preload adjustability on both ends. Stopping power comes from 310mm front and 240mm rear disc with dual-channel ABS.
