Features

• DOHC twin-cylinder engine
  • The 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine provides smooth, usable power across the rev range, enabling this mid-sized adventure motorcycle to achieve the optimal balance of performance and agility.
• Programmed Fuel Injection
  • PGM-FI continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered in all conditions for the crispest throttle response and the most power.
• Exhaust
  • We equipped it with a muffler featuring twin outlets. Although a small detail, it enhances the appearance and produces a sound that’s sure to make you smile every time you twist the throttle.
• Inverted fork
  • The 41mm inverted Showa^® Separate Function Fork—Big Piston (SFF-BP) front end enhances rigidity and features a long 5.9 inches of travel. This increases off-road capabilities and provides more precise on-road steering input and feel.
• Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
  • Our Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) comes standard, allowing you to make smoother and more controlled stops even in unfavorable riding conditions like rain and gravel.
• Pro-Link® rear suspension
  • Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension, with a nine-stage adjustable preload shock that features large-diameter internals, is designed for improved damping characteristics in various terrains and a smoother ride.
• Lightweight swingarm
  • The swingarm, utilized across the entire Honda 500 lineup, is nearly two pounds lighter and stronger than the previous version. This is one reason for the exceptional handling.
• Steel-tube frame
  • This bike’s diamond-shaped steel mainframe has four mounts connecting to the engine, providing a sturdy base for excellent ride quality, handling, and ample ground clearance.
• Multi-spoke cast wheels
  • The lightweight, multi-spoke, cast aluminum wheels are designed to improve handling and fit various on- and off-road rubber. Plus, they are easy to clean and just plain look good.
• Slipper/assist clutch
  • The slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch-lever effort by 45 percent compared to previous systems and minimizes rear-wheel hop during hard deceleration.
• Smooth transmission
  • Our engineers profiled the transmission shift dogs to help you change gears with reduced effort every time. While you’ll likely never see these parts, you’ll undoubtedly feel their effects.
• Adventure styling
  • Like its adventure abilities, this bike gets the ADV look just right – sleek, stylish, and no-nonsense. Additionally, the upright seating position allows for freedom of movement.
• Tall windscreen
  • A tall windscreen is designed to provide excellent protection from the elements and enhance the rugged adventure appearance.
• Passenger handholds
  • Sturdy passenger handholds offer security for your passengers or can be used as tie-down points for cargo items.
• Genuine Honda accessories
  • You can equip your new NX500 with a range of 19 different Genuine Honda accessories. These include a centerstand, hand guards, heated grips, hard luggage, and more.
• Digital instrumentation
  • An easy-to-read Thin Film Transistor instrument display includes a digital speedometer, tachometer, odometer, trip and fuel meters, and more.
• LED lighting
  • The LED headlight and multifaceted reflectors provide excellent visibility and feature clean, stylish designs.
