Honda CB500X Variants and Price in India

The Honda CB500X is sold in India in a single manual variant at Rs 5,79,952 ex-showroom. It is a CBU (Completely Built Unit) import, which means it arrives fully assembled from Honda's global manufacturing network rather than being locally assembled.

CB500X (Manual) - Rs 5,79,952 (ex-showroom, all India)

Standard equipment includes:

  • 471cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin BS6 Phase 2 engine
  • 6-speed manual gearbox
  • Combined ABS (front dual disc + rear disc)
  • 41mm Showa SFF front forks
  • Pro-Link adjustable rear mono-shock
  • LED headlamp (with DRL)
  • Semi-digital instrument cluster
  • 17.7-litre fuel tank
  • Knuckle guards
  • Centre stand

CB500XA (Automatic) - Theoretically available as CBU import Honda offers a DCT (Dual Clutch Transmission) automatic variant globally, designated CB500XA. However, this variant is not actively sold through Honda Bigwing India in 2026 - availability is extremely limited and typically requires special order.

How the CB500X fits within Honda's adventure lineup:

Model Price Engine Key Difference
CB500X Rs 5,79,952 471cc twin Mid-capacity adventure, proven platform
Honda NX500 Rs 7,44,000 471cc twin Replacement model, TFT, updated styling
CB300R ~Rs 2,90,000 286cc single Budget option, less range

The NX500 uses the same core engine but is lighter (196 kg), gets a TFT display with Bluetooth, and has updated aesthetics. At Rs 1.64 lakh more, it's the better-specced bike - but the CB500X's lower price makes it compelling for budget-conscious buyers who prioritise reliability over features.

As a CBU import, the CB500X is subject to customs and import duties which contribute significantly to its price relative to locally assembled alternatives. This also means supply can fluctuate - it's worth confirming stock and waiting time with your dealer before planning a purchase.
