Checked out the 2022 Honda CB500X in Hanoi: 5 significant observations

The engine has a little tinge of vibration due to the 180° firing order which can be felt if you are looking for it.

BHPian advstreak recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

So I went for a test ride of the CB500X 2022 model at the Honda Big Bike Showroom in Hanoi.

As pointed out by media reviews the front dual disc brake bite is sharp. Perhaps a little too sharp as per some but I like it this way.

The Showa SFF-BP seemed to iron out whatever patch of rough road I could find while still preventing nose dive due to the sharp front brakes.

The engine has a little tinge of vibration due to the 180° firing order which can be felt if you are looking for it. It felt the same as the 2021 model I had test rode in India.

CB500x feels to me proper upgrade from the KTM ADV 250 in search for one bike to do it all.

The ex-showroom price is 178,790,000 VND= 6,15,781 INR and with taxes and registration, it comes to 191,790,000 VND= 6,60,555 INR. Let's see how Honda prices it in India.

Here are some more pics of the showroom and the bike available for test rides.
