  • A capable off-roader, the Honda CB500X can also be taken out for a regular 9 to 5 commute.
  • The bike’s front sleek and pointy snout, along with an all-LED headlamp gives it a very intimidating look.

4/7The CB500X will be available in two colour options – Grand Prix Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic. The latter also gets a red graphic set extending from the front fairing to the tank. The red dipped frame peeking out from the rear section of the bike also lends it a special touch of sportiness. (Image Credits: HT Auto/Prashant Singh)
5/7The twin shiny exhaust pipes look clean, leading into a single stubby exhaust featuring a silver plate over a matt black finish, giving it a dual-tone effect. The rear section is pointy, as the front, thus complements its overall sharp and edgy body lines. (Image Credits: HT Auto/Prashant Singh)
6/7The LCD display that provides a plethora of information such as the gear position, speed, clock, toggle menus, and a circular tachometer. (Image Credits: HT Auto/Prashant Singh)
7/7The handlebar is perfectly positioned to make the rider feel at ease, but what’s even better is the humble 830 mm seat height which fits right even for low height riders. (Image Credits: HT Auto/Prashant Singh)
