Honda CB500X 2025 Review – Touring culture in India is growing by leaps and bounds at present: The search for a bike that is powerful, comfortable, and stress-free over long highways is something that riders have been undertaking for tools long time. Amidst all this commotion, the name that keeps popping up is the Honda CB500X. Rumour has it that this model is coming back to India from Honda, and if this happens, it would disrupt the entire mid-weight ADV segment. The hows and whys of the comeback of the CB500X must be simplified.
Design And Build Quality
The design of the Honda CB500X has always been mature and utilitarian. High stance with a long windshield with LED lights, and sharp ADV styling gives that premium touring look. Refined build, new fairing, and good wind protection are some of the things to expect for the 2025 version, while seat height is also on the positive side-no short rider is likely to have too much of a problem.
Engine And Performance
The real name of the bike is its 471cc parallel-twin engine. It is known that the Honda engine is the smoothest, and the CB500X delivers power just the way it has to for comfortable cruising on highways. Power delivery of 47PS and mid-range torque on the 2025 model is expected.
The twin-cylinder layout damps the vibrations, so long-distance tours become comfortable with a 200-400km stretch. Fuel efficiency is quite decent for a twin-cylinder ADV, hence safe for the theorist who undertakes long-distance tours.
Ride Comfort And Suspension

CB500X’s main strength lies in the suspension setup. The chunky front forks, rear monoshock, and long-travel suspension make the bike feel quite stable on Indian highways as well as hilly roads. All these factors give credence to the assumption that Honda could keep improving with improved suspension tuning and perhaps a lighter frame for the new comeback version.
Straight and relaxed riding stance, wide handlebars, cushy yet firm seat-what better combination for maintaining one’s conscience on long tours?
Features And Technology
Honda does not come with such high-tech stuff, but these things are user-friendly. Expected features may include a slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS, traction control, an updatable digital console, all-LED illumination, and optional luggage accessories. Even though the hardcore advanced electronic gizmos may be missing, reliability is certainly a forte here.
Estimated And Price

The expected price for the Honda CB500X would be ₹5.2 lakhs to ₹5.8 lakhs ex-showroom in India. It would fit somewhere between the RE Himalayan 450 and the KTM Adventure 390, as well as competition from the new ones from Triumph in this segment.
Accursed for sure, if you were looking for a powerful, smooth, hassle-free, long-distance touring-oriented ADV. The CB500X makes a worthy case.
