The NX500 Adventure Tourer will be sold in the country via the CBU (completely built up units) route.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India has officially launched the NX500 Adventure Tourer in the Indian market. The motorcycle is set to replace the CB500X in Honda’s lineup. The CB500X was priced at INR 5.79 lakh (ex-showroom). The NX500 Adventure Tourer is available at an introductory price of INR 5.90 lakh (ex-showroom). The prices are a bit higher because it will reach India via the CBU (completely built up) route. The deliveries for the motorcycle will commence from next month onward.

Honda said that the NX500 motorcycle can be bought via its BigWing dealerships. The adventure tourer is available in three color schemes: Matte Gunpowder Black Metallic, Pearl Horizon White, and Grand Prix Red. This motorcycle is going to rival the likes of the Royal Enfield Himalayan 450, KTM 390 Adventure, and Kawasaki Versys 650 in the Indian market.
