The CB500X Features

Design

Inspired by Africa Twin style it blends sharp lines with a rugged, aggressive stance, and comfort from the taller screen.

Highlights

Adjustable Control The CB500X features a new inverse-display LCD dash with Gear Position indicator. Tapered aluminium handlebars offer leverage and complete handling control, and full LED lighting, including indicators, is a premium finishing touch.

Full LED Lighting The CB500X features full LED lighting for a contemporary look and optimal energy efficiency. The high- and low-beams — both LEDs — are located in the centre of the headlights to reduce weight, size and electricity consumption. Compact signal indicators and clear taillights give the bike a sporty edge.

Mass-Centralised Design Mass centralisation – which means that the heavier parts of the bike are placed as close together as possible toward the centre of the machine – makes steering and handling easier. The CB500X is designed around this concept, and its engine is near the swingarm pivot point.

Power

The internal triangle proportion of crankshaft, main shaft and counter-shaft is very similar to that of the CBR1000RR Fireblade, and much of the engine’s internal structure and engineering is taken directly from the four-cylinder engine.

Highlights

Engine Ready The CB500X features the engine you need to explore on any type of road. Powerful, agile, and efficient even on longer journeys: it gives you the freedom you’ve been dreaming of.

Assist / Slipper Clutch Just like its larger CBR siblings, an Assist/Slipper Clutch eases upshifts and manages the rear wheel lock-up on hard down changes.

Twin-Cylinder Engine The 8-valve, liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine produces 35kW @ 8,600rpm – making it A2 licence compliant – with peak torque of 43Nm @ 6,500rpm. Revised camshafts and valve lift have increased low- and mid-range torque for faster acceleration.

Performance

A free-spinning two-cylinder engine turns the CB500X into a dynamic machine capable of taking on any adventure. Get ready for an unforgettable journey.

Highlights

Long Travel Suspension Whether you want to take a brief trip through the rough city streets or explore the endless vistas of the open road, the CB500X is ready. Its 41mm telescopic forks and Pro-Link rear Monoshock offer smooth, extended travel to absorb hits. Both are adjustable for spring pre-load, tailoring the steering geometry to accommodate a pillion and full luggage.

Easy Handling Adventure is all about infinite freedom. But freedom is meaningless if your ride is uncomfortable. The CB500X’s steel diamond-tube frame has a tuned rigidity balance to enhance feedback. The engine is close to the swingarm pivot point for easy handling. The seat height is 830mm, which makes the riding position upright and relaxed, offering excellent forward visibility and control.

Tough Ability The CB500X is designed to handle any kind of terrain. An increased ground clearance improves performance on rough roads, and three extra degrees of turning angle on the handlebars gives you outstanding handling. A 19-inch front wheel improves stability and roll-over ability, and block-pattern tyres ensure tenacious grip and feedback.

Exhaust Note A redesigned airbox streamlines the PGM-FI fuel injection process, and a new exhaust system gets rid of spent gases quickly and effectively. Updates to the air intake and exhaust system improve riding power. The muffler’s internal chamber has been engineered for efficiency, but it’s also tuned to add a crisp, evocative note to the riding experience.

Technology

The CB500X features the same Assist/Slipper Clutch structure as the Fireblade.

Highlights

Braking Control Without control, power is useless. The new CB500X features a single front 310mm wavy disc and powerful two-piston brake calliper matched to a 240mm rear disc and single-piston calliper. Dual channel ABS is fitted as standard. Now you can easily manage braking force in wet or dry conditions.

Information Display When you’re exploring the open road, you need a clear, concise information panel. The CB500X features a new, attractive negative-display LCD dash to alleviate any tensions you might have. It includes a speedo and rev-counter, dual trip meters, fuel level, and consumption gauges and a Gear Position indicator.

Emergency Stop Signal The CB500X’s Emergency Stop Signal technology helps keep you safe if you ever need to hit the brakes unexpectedly. The system detects sudden braking and automatically activates the front and rear hazard lights, which flash to warn any nearby vehicles.

Financial Disclosure

Norton Way Motors Ltd is registered in England No: 00730865. Registered at: Norton Way North, Letchworth, Hertfordshire, SG6 1BL. VAT Registration No: 732242465.

Norton Way Motors Ltd is also authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority for consumer credit purposes. We offer a range of vehicle finance facilities through a panel of carefully selected third-party lenders. We do not provide customers with independent finance advice and will not offer facilities from lenders outside of this panel. Norton Way Motors Ltd is a broker for finance and not a lender. The lenders that we use are given first right of refusal. This is because these lenders will pay us a commission for introducing you to them. Commission may be calculated based on either a fixed amount relating to the vehicle you are purchasing, a percentage of the amount of finance you are borrowing, or a combination of both. We may also get paid an additional fixed commission if you are a returning customer. Different finance lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions. Such payments will not affect the amount you pay under any finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender. We will inform you of the amount of commission that we will earn in good time. We will require your consent for us to receive this commission. Our approach is to introduce you to a lender on our panel who will offer you the best package taking into account eligibility, product suitability, as well as interest rates and other factors. Our aim is to secure the best deal that you are eligible for. You do not have to take our finance as it is available through other distributors. You can arrange funding for your vehicle elsewhere and it may be cheaper.
