Situated as our entry point to our dual-purpose urban commuter and off-road adventure bikes, this BRAND-NEW NX500 provides the best of both worlds at an even better price. Finished here in Pearl Horizon White, the sharp and aggressive styling enhances its rugged appeal, especially with thanks to features such as the rally-style fairing and the optional side pipe that doubles for enhanced protection. General comfort and convenience are also a priority with the large screen for wind protection, RoadSync and our clever E-Clutch system to make urban commuting even easier. The steel diamond design chassis weighs only 198kg, letting the NX500 feel sprightly with its 471cc engine, producing 35kW and 43Nm. It’s fuel efficient too, allowing you to make the most of every mile thanks to its large 17.5L fuel tank. Despite the price, it’s not all show with no go, because as with any of our adventure bikes, serious attention has been paid to the quality of the componentry. For example, suspension comes courtesy of Showa 41mm SFF-BP USD forks up front, with a Prolink mono with 5 stage preload adjuster at the rear, providing 180mm of ground clearance. Disc brakes front and rear come as standard, as does the front 19” wheel with dual 296mm discs up front with Nissin two piston calipers. Letting you make full use of the standard fitment Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC) for unbeatable traction, regardless of the terrain you’re on. The wide handlebars, 830mm seat height, relaxed driving position and our clever E-Clutch that lets you manually change gears without using the lever, help make the NX500 extremely approachable for any rider.
