Fully connected colour TFT display

The 5-inch screen uses optical bonding technology to reduce glare and improve readability. Intuitive to use, it also features seamless smartphone connectivity with Honda RoadSync.
Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC)

On the road, HSTC manages rear wheel traction in all conditions, especially in the rain. On dirt or gravel it can be switched off completely, for maximum drive.
Showa SFF-BP USD Forks

This is class leading suspension. 41mm Separate Function-Big Piston forks are set for precise reaction and feel, with dual discs for powerful braking.
A2-compliant twin-cylinder engine

Strong torque off the bottom and through the middle of the rev-range, with 43Nm peak, for the responsive acceleration all riders enjoy on, and off, road.
Powerful headlight

Throws out strong beam penetration and wide light distribution either side – which means you see a lot more when cornering at night.
Rally-spec wind protection

For enhanced comfort over a long day’s ride the purposeful fairing and tall screen combine to direct airflow neatly over and around. Sharp graphics add a hint of competition style.

Next level riding, now with E-Clutch

Unique to Honda, E-Clutch takes riding to the next level. Choose manual clutch control of the six-speed gearbox, or activate E-Clutch via the TFT screen and ignore the lever. That’s it. From pulling away to shifting and stopping, just use the gear lever – E-Clutch handles the rest, smoothly and instantly, like a pro. You can’t stall. Traffic’s easier. And if you want to use the clutch? Go right ahead.

MORE ABOUT OUR TECHNOLOGY

Go short. Go long.

Go where you choose. Effortlessly at home in the city but built for adventure, the rugged NX500 blends a tough off-road silhouette with modern off-road-inspired design. Long-travel suspension absorbs the urban rough and tumble just as it does gravel trails helped by lightweight wheels. The 17.7L fuel tank holds plenty of range. And a relaxed riding position – and natural control of wide handlebars – are matched to an aerodynamic package that neatly channels airflow.

You’re in control. No matter the journey.

830mm seat height

Comfortable reach and control, with 180mm ground clearance giving the NX real adventure capability.
198kg kerb weight

Easy to manage at walking pace, and through traffic, with reassuring stability out on the highway.
19-inch front wheel

For the sure-footed feel to ride on over rough surfaces and consistent, confidence-inspiring grip.

Make it your own

Configure your bike with a choice of accessory packs.

Adventure Pack

Prepare for the rigours of the open road. Fog Lights make the NX500 more visible to other road users from a distance, Knuckle Guards protect your hands, and the Smoked Screen reduces wind blast for greater comfort. The Front Side Pipe adds robust side protection, Wheel Stripes bring a touch of style, and the Tank Pad shields paint from zip and buckle scuffs.
Travel Pack

Travel is what the NX500 is made for, so the dual Soft Panniers, Tank Bag and Rear Seat Bag add flexible carrying capacity that’s easy to attach and remove.
Urban Pack

If you’re in and out of town on a daily basis this is the perfect setup; a 38L Top Box offers plenty of storage space (enough for a full-face helmet) and comes complete with Pillion Backrest and handy Inner Bag.
Comfort Pack

Build in even more practicality. Heated Grips take the cold out of winter days, Wind Deflectors help keep the weather at bay, an ACC Socket charges your devices, and a Tank Pad protects the tank.
