The Honda CB 500 X, the third offshoot of the CB 500 family, is not only the little adventurer of the Honda range but also the most accessible of crossover. Its small twin is not very fiery but docile and reassuring for those who attack the medium displacement.
This first evolution gives a little more spice to the design. Everything is held in the more acute optical unit surmounted by a cap, the crenellated duckbill and the more “rangers” decorations. As for improvements, the CB 500 X phase 2 receives a higher screen of 100 mm, front and rear LED lighting, and the appearance of preload adjustment on the fork. Work on the selection should further soften the shift. Finally, the brake lever becomes adjustable in spacing.
The 500 X is built on the same basis as its sisters CBN and CBR. A practical way to multiply the models while controlling the costs. Its chassis is very simple: a main beam 35 mm in diameter where the engine acts as a stiffening element, a 41 mm fork, a single shock absorber with 9 preload adjustment positions, a petal brake disc per wheel and 17 inch rims. No need for more, the machine not having vocation to make the supermot or the arsouille but driving pleasure and town planner. With a more upright driving position and suspensions offering more travel, the CB 500 X is more comfortable than the N and R.
The CB 500s share the same inline twin. Equipped with 471 cm3, this block is cut exactly for the A2 license. It delivers the maximum amount of power authorized for young people allowed: 35 Kw or 47.5 horses, and a torque of 4.4 mkg. Let’s not dwell on the manufacturing methods using certain technologies related to the construction of the 4 cylinders of the CBR 600 and 1000 RR, but on two essential points: consumption and revs. The twin demands even less stabilized cycle fuel and advertises 3.4 liters per 100 km. Combined with the slightly increased tank capacity, now 17.5 L, here you are in the presence of a machine with a range of 516 km with a full tank. In reality, you will certainly have a more playful right hand than the algorithms, but the autonomy will still be of high caliber..
Of the 5 colors of this new edition, 3 are available on the French market for 2016, all with rim trims: Pearl Horizon White, Matte Gunpowder Metallic Black and Millenium Red. The first member of a family to crossover topping, the CB 500 X exudes the fun side and the adventurer aspect, even if it means never putting the wheels between the ruts. Of the three CBs, this one will offer the most protection and comfort. He seeks pleasure, economy and the style of adventure.
