WHY THE HONDA CB500X ?
At Rally-Raid Products, we believe that a genuine adventure bike ought to flatter the rider, not intimidate them. When the going gets tough, a physically large and heavy motorcycle can quickly become a liability. Power, size and complex cutting-edge electronics have their place, but are rarely a substitute for confidence and control.
With a standard specification that includes a useful 250 mile fuel-range, a compact fairing, plenty of luggage capacity and low maintenance; the twin-cylinder Honda CB500X is already an excellent all-rounder at a very affordable price. At only ~150kg dry weight and xxcm seat height the CB500X allows you to tackle hard adventure with confidence.
​
WHAT DOES THE CB500X ADVENTURE INVOLVE?
Ensuring we retained all these key attributes as part of our Adventure conversion, Rally Raid Products and Tractive have comprehensively re-engineered the front and rear suspension to offer adjustable damping and longer travel, with a corresponding increase in ground-clearance. Remote preload adjustment is avaliable on all tractive shocks, allowing 10mm of preload adjustment to the rider.
​
Together with our unique heavy-duty spoked wheel-sets in both 19" and 17" front wheel we have significantly enhanced the off-road and dirt-trail capability of the standard machine. Wheel upgrade kits are now avaliable in bot tubed and tubless options, proudly supported by www.bartubeless.it
Completing our core Adventure package are a range of associated upgrade components and accessories that allow you to tailor the machine to your exact preference – including substantial engine protection and a range of soft-luggage mounting options - and all of which have been carefully designed to retain OEM levels of fit and finish. The result is a genuinely all-road capable, and overland travel-ready machine.
