As we step into the fifth month of 2024, the motorcycle industry typically sees a decline in new product launches, but Honda is an exception. The Japanese manufacturer has revealed refreshed versions of three of its popular 500cc motorcycles: the NX500, CBR500R, and CB500F. These models have received notable updates aimed at enhancing their performance and appeal.
The NX500, previously known as the CB500X, represents a new adventure-ready bike from Honda. With improvements to its chassis, suspension, engine, and electronics, the NX500 offers a complete package for riders seeking versatility and agility, with a focus on shedding weight.
Sporting a lighter wheel setup and enhanced suspension settings, along with the addition of Honda’s Selectable Torque Control system, the NX500 promises an exhilarating riding experience.
Meanwhile, the sporty CBR500R receives a striking restyling inspired by Honda’s Fireblade series. Featuring a new fairing design with winglets, LED headlights, and a modern TFT display, the CBR500R combines style with performance. Equipped with Honda’s Selectable Torque Control system, this model delivers enhanced control and responsiveness on the road.
Lastly, the CB500F undergoes a redesign focused on aesthetics and comfort. With updated bodywork and a new TFT screen, the CB500F offers a sleek and modern look while maintaining its practicality and affordability.
Available in matte black metallic, this model appeals to riders seeking a versatile and accessible naked bike option. All three models are now available at Honda dealerships, offering riders an array of choices to suit their preferences and riding styles.
