2020 Honda® CB500X

Sometimes you feel like picking a corner of the map and exploring. And sometimes, you need a quick ride to the corner store. For a compact bike that can handle real adventures, and all the commutes in-between, you need the Honda CB500X. The 471cc twin-cylinder engine offers easy-to-access power and plenty of torque. Light and powerful, this bike shines on backroads and city streets alike. Together with rugged styling, long-travel suspension, a tall windscreen and more, it’s ready for adventure.

Features may include:

• DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Offering plenty of power and torque in the midrange, the CB500X’s 471cc, liquid-cooled engine features parallel cylinder engines with dual overhead cams. Light, narrow, and powerful, it just strikes the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be.

• ANTI-LOCK BRAKES

Want a version of the CB500X with Honda’s Anti-Lock Braking System? An excellent choice! Just ask your dealer to show you the CB500X ABS. It’s a great feature that helps you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal riding conditions.

• LONG-TRAVEL FRONT SUSPENSION

The long-stroke 41mm fork yields 5.3 inches of travel. A wide handlebar allows for easy steering inputs.

• DISC BRAKES

The front 320mm disc brake and 240mm rear feature drilled, petal-style rotors that provide strong stopping power.

• UNIQUE STYLE

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!

• DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION

A fresh, modern, easy-to-read 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.

• TALL WINDSCREEN

The CB500X’s windscreen offers superior wind protection.

• 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 shoulders make it easier to put your feet down at stoplights or in parking lots.
