Honda NX500 deliveries commence in India

The NX500 is imported via the CBU route and is priced at Rs 5.90 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).

Last month, Honda launched the NX500 in the Indian market. Customer deliveries of the adventure tourer have now commenced.

The Honda NX500 was unveiled at EICMA 2023. It replaces the CB500X in the brand’s ADV line-up. 

The NX500 is powered by a 471cc parallel-twin engine, which now features a crank counterweight and balancer shaft. Honda claims these upgrades have made the engine smoother. It develops 47 BHP @ 8,600 rpm and 43 Nm @ 6,500 rpm and is paired with a 6-speed gearbox via a slipper clutch.

The bike comes with a 41 mm Showa upside-down fork and a mono-shock at the rear. Braking is handled by dual 296 mm discs at the front and a single 240 mm disc at the rear. It rides on lightweight alloy wheels and gets features like traction control and dual-channel ABS.
