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.

## FAQs

**How many variants does Honda CB500X come in?**
In India, the Honda CB500X is sold in a single manual variant at Rs 5,79,952 ex-showroom. A DCT automatic variant (CB500XA) is available globally but has very limited availability in India - check with Honda Bigwing dealers.

**What is the difference between Honda CB500X and Honda NX500?**
The Honda NX500 (Rs 7,44,000) is the official replacement for the CB500X. It uses the same 471cc engine but is lighter (196 kg vs 199 kg), gets a TFT display with Bluetooth, updated styling, and slightly revised ergonomics. The CB500X is Rs 1.64 lakh cheaper with proven reliability but older design and no TFT.

**Which is better value - CB500X or NX500?**
For pure value, the CB500X at Rs 5,79,952 is hard to beat - same engine, proven platform, Rs 1.64 lakh cheaper. The NX500 makes sense if you want modern features (TFT, Bluetooth) and better long-term resale trajectory. If budget is primary, buy the CB500X.

**Is Honda CB500X available for immediate delivery?**
Stock availability varies as the CB500X is a CBU import and Honda India is transitioning to the NX500. Some Bigwing dealerships may have units in stock; others may require a waiting period. Confirm directly with your nearest Honda Bigwing dealer.
