NX500
Honda's NX500 succeeds the CB500X with the same proven 471cc parallel-twin in a refreshed adventure chassis featuring a color TFT display and smartphone connectivity — the most approachable mid-size ADV in Honda's lineup. ABS cannot be disengaged, which limits aggressive off-road use but keeps the platform simple for everyday riders.
