Together with tough adventure styling, long-travel suspension, a tall windscreen, and more, CB500X invites you to Live, Unlike the Others.”

 Design that exudes tough adventure and lives a free attitude

 Taking style cues from the legendary Africa Twin, the new CB500X blends rugged lines with an aggressive stance.

Full LED lighting – including both headlamp and tail lamp ensure no path is dark for the rider to navigate through. Compact signal indicators and a clear screen tail lamp give CB500X a sporty outlook.

 Its diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, resulting in a rock-solid foundation for superior riding, handling, and 181mm ground clearance. CB500X capitulates to the rider’s control by placing the heavier part closer to the center of gravity and engine in close proximity to the swingarm pivot point. All of this offers a tuned rigidity balance ensuring outstanding feedback while riding.

 The long-stroke 41mm front suspension enhances the riding dynamics of the motorcycle, thus providing the ultimate riding experience to the rider.

 Honda Pro-Link rear suspension with 9-stage spring preload adjustment provides a comfortable ride over uneven roads. The shock absorber features large-diameter internals for even better damping characteristics and a smoother ride. Face the winds on your way in style through a tall windscreen that gives supreme protection and extreme rideability.

 Making CB500X a perfect companion on every terrain are the strong yet lightweight multi-spoke cast-aluminum wheels (19-inch front and 17-inch rear). The CB500X seat offers an open, unrestricted riding position that is perfect for both touring and daily commuting. Stop at traffic lights or in parking lots with ease through narrow seat shoulders and 830mm seat height that makes it easier to put feet down.

 The CB500X comes equipped with the smart ESS (Emergency Stop Signal) technology that detects sudden braking and automatically activates the front and rear hazard lights, which flash to warn nearby vehicles.

 The CB500X features Honda Ignition Security System (HISS) theft-deterrent, reinforced handlebar lock structures, and strengthened key cylinders ultimately giving peace of mind to the rider.

 A negative display LCD meter provides good visibility. The advanced information displayed like Gear Position Indicator, Engine Temperature Indicator, ABS indicator keep the rider updated in any given riding environment.

 CB500X employs Dual Channel ABS that instills greater confidence when brakes are applied in an emergency or when operated on slippery roads. The front 310mm and rear 240mm drilled petal-style disc brakes maintain efficient braking control over a wide variety of riding conditions.

 A fun ride that packs a punch

 The lively 8-valve liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine delivers max power of 35kw@8500rpm and max torque of 43.2Nm@6500rpm. Usable power and torque offered across the range make CB500X a perfect motorcycle for city riding as well as a powerful machine for rough terrain.

 Being the youngest member of the adventure bike family, the CB500X features Assist/Slipper Clutch, which eases upshifts and manages rear wheel lock-up on hard downshifts while decelerating. The free-revving engine mated with a slick 6-speed gearbox promises a thrilling ride both on and off-road.

 The upswept exhaust brings upon the adventure side of the motorcycle and helps to go through rough and water-filled trail rides. The muffler internal chamber has been engineered for efficiency and tuned to add a crisp grunty exhaust note to the riding experience.

 Color and Price

Catching every eye on the road it crosses, CB500X will be available in two color options – Grand Prix Red and Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic. CB500X is priced at Rs. 6,87,386 (ex-showroom, Gurugram).

Since its launch in 2015, Livo has been a favourite among aspirational buyers in its category. Equipped with Honda’s latest technology & its urban design, Honda Livo BSVI will raise the bar of style, performance and value in its segment”.

Cutting-edge Technology

The all new Livo BSVI is designed and built for next era of transformation. At the heart of Livo BSVI ticks, Bharat Stage VI compliant Honda’s trusted 110cc PGM-FI HET (Honda Eco Technology) engine, boosted by Enhanced Smart Power (eSP).

All new Livo BSVI brings future technology to the present, bringing India at par with the global standards – the Sophisticated, Precise &Sensitive – Enhanced Smart Power (eSP).

Enhanced Smart Power (eSP) is an integration of the following:

1. Unique Honda ACG starter sparks #AQuietRevolution on Indian roads as it starts engine jolt free via the same AC generator used to generate current and charge the battery while riding. This eliminates the need for a conventional starter motor, thus, there are no gear meshing noises.

Two mechanical features lead to engine start with less effort – the first being efficient utilization of decompression with slightly opened exhaust valves (at the beginning of compression stroke) and Swing Back^NEW feature which rotates the engine in a slightly opposite direction, which allows the piston to take a ‘running start’, making it easier to start the engine with a small amount of power.

1. Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI): The system uses sensors to constantly inject optimum
   fuel and air mixture which aids consistent power output, high fuel efficiency & less emissions.
2. Friction reduction: The offset cylinder and use of roller rocker arm with needle bearing further reduces the frictional loss which not only helps in smooth and better power output, but also improves fuel efficiency. The piston cooling jet improves cooling efficiency & maintains optimum engine temperature further adding to fuel efficiency and performance.

HET Tubeless Tyre: Livo BSVI comes fitted with rear HET Tyre (Low Rolling Resistance tyre). Developed with a new tyre compound technology, it reduces energy loss while maintaining optimum grip leading to improved fuel efficiency.

Comfort & Convenience

DC headlamp^NEW: Bright & constant DC headlamp makes riding over rough roads & low speeds during night more convenient.

Integrated engine start/stop switch^NEW: Adding more convenience to the riding isan integrated engine start/stop switch. The two-way functioning switch can be used to start the engine when pressed downwards and acts as an engine kill switch when pressed upward.

Integrated headlamp beam & passing switch^NEW:It provides the convenience of controlling high beam/low beam & passing signal with a flick of a finger.

 Service due indicator: Reminds you when to get the vehicle serviced without even depending on someone. The blinking indicates the vehicle has reached the specified distance for service while continuous glow signifies that vehicle has crossed the specified distance for service.

 The 5 steps adjustable rear suspension can be adjusted as per road conditions for a smoother ride. A longer comfortable seat (+17mm) with smooth integration with the fuel tank provides ample space for comfortable long-distance travel. It also comes with seal chain which needs less frequent adjustments and low maintenance. Making every ride on new Livo BSVI comfortable and convenient is the Combi-Brake System (CBS) with equalizer.

Urban Style

Honda Livo leaves a long-lasting impression with its new and refreshed urban style. Chiseled tank shrouds, modern front visor and bold fuel tank design give it a stronger and sporty character.

Striking graphics add an appeal of premiumness to new Livo BSVI while new refreshed digital analogue meter leaves a lasting style impression.
