2026 Honda® NX500

With its approachable twin-cylinder power, long-travel suspension, and lower MSRP, the NX500 makes entry into adventure touring more attainable and stylish than ever.

Features may include:

• Programmed Fuel Injection

PGM-FI continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered in all conditions for the crispest throttle response and the most power.

• Exhaust

We equipped it with a muffler featuring twin outlets. Although a small detail, it enhances the appearance and produces a sound that’s sure to make you smile every time you twist the throttle.

• Lightweight swingarm

Used in the entire Honda 500 lineup, the swingarm is designed to be both lightweight and strong, contributing to its exceptional handling.

• Steel-tube frame

This bike's diamond-shaped steel mainframe has four mounts connecting to the engine, providing a sturdy base for excellent ride quality, handling, and ample ground clearance.

• Multi-spoke cast wheels

The lightweight, multi-spoke cast aluminum wheels are designed to enhance handling and are compatible with various adventure touring tires. Additionally, they are easy to clean and simply look good.

• Smooth transmission

Our engineers designed the internal components of the six-speed transmission to help you change gears with reduced effort every time. While you’ll likely never see these parts, their impact on your riding experience is unmistakable.

• Passenger handholds

Sturdy handholds provide security for your passengers and can also serve as tie-down points for cargo items.
