CB500X ABS

2014 Honda CB500X ABS Technical Analysis & Specification Breakdown

Built around Honda's sport motorcycle platform, the 2014 Honda CB500X ABS pairs a 471 cc (28.7 cu in) liquid-cooled twin, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 46.9 HP (34.3 kW) at 8,500 rpm while maximum torque reaches 43 Nm (31.7 lb-ft) at 7,000 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through a 6-speed gearbox and chain final drive. With a specific output of 99.6 HP per liter and a 1,500 rpm working window between peak torque (7,000 rpm) and peak power (8,500 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.

On the scales, the CB500X ABS measures 199 kg (439 lbs) wet (curb), translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.24 HP/kg (4.24 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 810 mm (31.9 in) seat height — offering a neutral standover height that accommodates most average-inseam riders without sacrificing cornering clearance, combined with a 1,421 mm (55.9 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.3-liter (4.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
