Honda NX500 Adventure MotorcycleLooking for your next great motorcycle adventure? The Honda NX500 is the perfect travel partner. With all of the adventure styling you need, its reliable 471 cc twin-cylinder engine is a spectacular choice for any ride. The NX500’s comfortable seating position and tall windscreen combined with inverted Showa SFF-BP forks, dual disk front brakes with standard ABS and an Assist Slipper Clutch makes the Honda NX500 a motorcycle ready for anything from a quick commute to a long day in the saddle. |
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 NX500’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. |
More Power More TorqueThe 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. |
Easy ShiftingThe gear indicator and adjustable shift-up indicator make it even easier to use the smooth-shifting six-speed gearbox. |
Excellent Response and 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 NX500 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. |
