ADVENTURE GETS A NEW NAME

There’s great news in the adventure bike world for 2024. We’ve taken one of our best adventure bikes—the CB500X—and given it a major update along with a new name: the NX500. It’s seven pounds lighter, and along with a new ECU, that means you get better acceleration feel. Lighter wheels and new suspension settings make it feel more responsive. A brand-new LED headlight improves visibility at night. Honda Selectable Torque Control is new and standard equipment. A new Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display is easier to read, and a new fairing is part of an aggressive new styling package.
