 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).

New Delhi, June 24, 2020: Moving forward with #AQuietRevolution, Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. today launched its advanced urban scooter – the bold, edgy, bright and the all new Grazia 125 BSVI.

Introducing all new Grazia125, Mr. Yadvinder Singh Guleria, Director – Sales and Marketing, Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt. Ltd. said, “With a significant change in form, styling & technology, the new Grazia125 BSVI is here to dazzle the young riders. The new Grazia, will bring a totally new mobility experience for the trend setting customers in a stylish way. Honda’s globally acclaimed superior eSP technology, innovative new features and edgy styling truly make it a ‘Stunning Genius’.”

Stunning Intelligence

The all new Grazia 125 creates new excitement among the riders with its advanced technology, new innovations and bold design.

At the heart of Grazia 125 ticks Bharat Stage VI compliant Honda’s trusted 125cc PGM-FI HET (Honda Eco Technology) engine, boosted by Enhanced Smart Power (eSP).

All new Grazia 125 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:

• 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.
• Improvised tumble flow: Honda developed the world’s first tumble flow technology through integrated die-casting process. It produces tumble flow by optimizing inlet port shape and using reverse flow phenomenon, without adding additional components leading to combustion improvisation.
• Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)^NEW: It injects the right amount of fuel in cylinder based on specific engine data and constant feedback from the 6 intelligent sensors (Engine oil temperature sensor, Engine Speed sensor, Oxygen sensor, Air pressure sensor, Air temperature sensor, Throttle Position Sensor) resulting in smooth and linear power output throughout.
• Friction Reduction: Offset cylinder, compact weight crankshaft & piston reduce overall engine friction. Optimized weight results in improved fuel efficiency. The piston cooling jet improves cooling efficiency & maintains optimum engine temperature leading to improved fuel efficiency.

The all new Grazia 125 comes with Idling Stop System^NEW**that automatically switches the engine off at the traffic light and other brief stops, eliminating unnecessary fuel consumption and resulting in lesser emission. Engine can easily be re-started with a simple twist of the throttle.

Stunning Comfort& convenience

With constant illumination of LED DC headlamp^NEWriding over rough roads & low speeds during night becomes more convenient.

It also comes equipped with a unique ^NEWmulti-function switch that adds extra level of comfort. Use it to unlock the seat & open external fuel lid with a single switch.

The unique two-way functioning integrated engine start/stop switch^NEW* 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^NEWprovides the convenience of controlling high beam/low beam & passing signal with a flick of a finger.

Side Stand indicator with engine-cut Offprevents engine start while the side stand is engaged enabling a convenient and carefree ride

^NEWIntelligent Instrument Display: Fully Digital meter gets new intelligent instrument clusters that display advanced informatics like distance to empty (displays distance one can travel with existing fuel in tank), average fuel efficiency (for overall fuel efficiency display) & real-time fuel efficiency for a rich riding experience.  The meter displays details like 3-step ECO indicator, clock, service due indicator and other mileage related information.

 The 3-step adjustable rear suspension allows rider to choose his riding preferences in three stages as per his comfort and road condition.

Telescopic Suspension with increased ground clearance (+16mm)makes every ride on all new Grazia BSVI more comfortable.

Re-designed under seat storage and bigger premium quality front glove box allows more practical storage space.

Grazia 125 comes equipped with Combi Brake System (CBS) with Equalizer technology. The unique equalizer in Honda’s advanced Combi Brake System (CBS) distributes braking force proportionately between front and rear wheels simultaneously by pressing just the left lever resulting in reduced braking distance & improved balance compared to conventional braking.

Stunning Style

The ^NEWsplit LED position lamp gives the all new Grazia 125 a more aggressive look. Newchiseled tail lamp, jet inspired rear winkers and split grab rail portray a modern edgy image.

The 3D logo emblem on side panel & the matchless Honda badging on the floor panel give Grazia 125a personality which is beyond the imagination of ordinary. The premium black alloy wheels** elevate the overall classy design of the all new Grazia 125.

Essential Reliability

As another industry first, Honda will also be offering a special 6-year warranty package^NEW(3 years standard + 3 years optional extended warranty) on Grazia 125 BSVI.
