Honda CB500X - Latest News and Updates

The biggest news around the Honda CB500X in 2026 is its uncertain availability in India. Honda introduced the NX500 - the official successor to the CB500X - at EICMA 2023, and it arrived in India at Rs 7,44,000. The CB500X has been progressively phased out from Honda India's primary lineup as the NX500 takes its place.

As of May 2026, the CB500X may still be available at select Honda Bigwing dealerships as existing stock, but it is no longer being actively restocked in the same volumes as before. Buyers interested in the CB500X should verify stock directly with their nearest Bigwing outlet before planning a purchase.

The core 471cc parallel-twin engine is unchanged - it remains BS6 Phase 2 compliant and continues to offer the same 47 bhp / 43 Nm output, 28 kmpl ARAI mileage, and Combined ABS that made the CB500X well-regarded in India. The platform is not going away - Honda simply updated and renamed it for the next product cycle.

No India-specific price changes or updates to the CB500X specification have been announced for 2026.
