Where to? Your choice. The compact, versatile new NX500 offers perfect city agility and off-road ability. It’s comfortable too, with an aggressive, rally-style fairing and large screen shaped for wind protection. High specification technology includes 5-inch TFT screen. And its LAMS approved twin-cylinder engine delivers flexible – hugely enjoyable – performance with HSTC traction management. The adventure begins.

Features
Go Short. Go long.
Go where you choose. Effortlessly at home in the city but built for adventure, the rugged NX500 blends a tough off-road silhouette with modern off-road-inspired design. Long-travel suspension absorbs the urban rough and tumble just as it does gravel trails helped by new, lightweight wheels. The 17.7L fuel tank holds plenty of range. And a relaxed riding position – and natural control of wide handlebars – are matched to an aerodynamic package that neatly channels airflow.
