Buyer’s Guide Model Detail







Buyer's Guide > CB500X
Colours shown may not be available in Canada.
Midrange horsepower and torque are supposedly boosted for the 2019 CB500X, but peak output is unchanged. It gets the same assist/slipper clutch as the rest of the 500 line as well as a new LCD dash, Bodywork is updated, and Honda has finally put a proper 19-inch front wheel on this bike, and also upgraded the suspension, so it's a much better adventure machine now. There’s also a new 19-inch front wheel (previously, it had a 17-inch hoop), and the suspension has been beefed up. Front suspension travel goes from 140 mm to 150 mm; rear suspension travel goes from 118 mm to 135 mm, thanks to a new shock. Given that suspension was always one of the first things CB500X owners upgraded if they planned on serious offroad work, these changes will be welcome. One change that won’t be welcome: Wet weight is up from 194 kg to 197 kg, at least for the Euro model. Canadian pricing and availability for the CB500X has not been announced yet.
