Royal Enfield’s 500cc UCE engine powered several notable models, but after its discontinuation in 2020, nothing has quite filled that space. That is where the all-new Honda CB500 intends to slot in. The CB500 is powered by an all-new 501cc single-cylinder air/oil-cooled engine producing 27hp and 43.3Nm.Honda is yet to reveal the motorcycle’s complete specifications, but we do know that the CB500 will feature a conventional telescopic fork, twin rear shock absorbers and disc brakes at both ends. The overall design draws inspiration from the familiar CB350, with classic styling cues including a round LED headlight, a ribbed single-piece seat and a large teardrop-shaped fuel tank. It is paired with modern features such as Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC), a slipper clutch and an analogue-digital instrument console with Honda RoadSync connectivity.While the prices haven't been revealed yet, Honda will offer the CB500 in three variants: a standard alloy-wheel version, a cross-spoke tubeless-wheel variant and a range-topping cross-spoke tubeless variant with exclusive graphics.
