2022 Honda® CB500X ABS

FIND YOUR ADVENTURE

One of the best do-it-all motorcycles in the world just got a whole lot better. That’s because for 2022, our Honda CB500X features some big improvements. First up has to be the new inverted Showa SFF-BP fork and new dual-disc front brakes. A lighter front wheel and lighter swingarm are part of the list too. But the best parts haven’t changed—how the CB500X is always ready for adventure, and lets you explore new roads as well as carving up your favorite pavement. Sized right for everything from a commute to work to a commute to the mountains, if you can only have one bike in your garage, the CB500X is a strong contender. Also new for 2022—a Pearl Organic Green/Black paint scheme.

Features may include:

ENGINEERING

DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE

Offering plenty of power and torque in the midrange, the CB500X features a 471cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. Light, narrow, and powerful, it just strikes the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be.

HANDLING

UPSIDE-DOWN FORK

Probably the most significant change for 2022 is the long-travel upside-down fork on the CB500X. The inverted design makes the front end much more rigid, for more precise steering input and feedback. The fork itself is a 41mm Showa SFF-BP design—one of the best in its class.

STYLE

UNIQUE STYLE

Like your favorite blue jeans, the CB500X just looks right—tough, capable, no-nonsense. Plus, the adventure-bike posture and seating position let you move around freely—just like your jeans!

COMFORT

TALL WINDSCREEN

The CB500X’s windscreen offers excellent wind protection.
