2025 Honda® NX500

Looking 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.

Features may include:

• More Power More Torque

The 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 Clutch

Not 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.

• Excellent Response and Feedback

The 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 Dynamics

For 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.

• Enhanced Comfort

The 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.
