Honda NX500 Launched at Rs 5.90 Lakhs in India

Honda launched the NX500 adventure tourer, which is expected to undergo a price increase in the near future. The initial price is set at Rs 5.90 lakh (ex-showroom). With the CB500X no longer being produced, the NX500 is now Honda's only middleweight adventure tourer available in India. It is worth mentioning that Honda has chosen to import the NX500, considering it a fully built-up (CBU) vehicle. Despite the NX500's many high-end features and modern hardware, it is surprisingly cheaper than the domestically produced CB500X.

Honda is clearly rethinking its pricing tactics in the Indian market, as this decision shows. With three eye-catching colour options, the Honda NX500 can be yours in Grand Prix Red, Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic, or Pearl Horizon White. Honda Big Wing dealerships are now accepting reservations, and deliveries are set to begin in February 2024.

Honda NX500: Design

With its well-proportioned back end, large 17.5-litre fuel tank, and rally bike-style front fairing, the Honda NX500 radiates the spirit of a functional adventure tourer. The large seat and upright design make long bike rides seem like they will be relaxing and easy. Among the many impressive features found on the Honda NX500 are its all-LED headlights and taillights, as well as its five-inch colour TFT screen, Bluetooth, and navigation.

In addition to a 6-speed transmission, the NX500 has a slip-and-assist clutch that makes shifting gears easier and less taxing on the rider. In addition, traction control enhances the riding experience by providing an additional level of stability and control.

Honda NX500: Price and Rivals
