New Honda NX 500: The Replacement for the CB 500X, Finally Registered in Brazil! Will It Arrive in 2024?
The new Honda NX 500 has made an appearance here, being officially registered in Brazil. So, will it arrive still in 2024? For those who didn’t know, the CB 500X is on borrowed time, and the NX 500 is here to take its place. Let’s take a look at the main news about this beauty and try to understand when it will be available in Brazilian stores.
New Honda NX 500 Registered in Brazil
The news of the new Honda NX 500 registration at the National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI) caught many people by surprise. Will we see this bike on the roads here in 2024? If you don’t know the NX 500, relax as I will tell you everything about it.
What Changed in the NX 500 Compared to the CB 500X?
Let’s get straight to the point: the new Honda NX 500 comes with several improvements, but the mechanical base is practically the same as the CB 500X. In other words, the engine and chassis remain unchanged, but the front of the bike has undergone a true transformation. We now have a new front with a redesigned headlight, fairing protection, and auxiliary lights.

Performance and Technology
The new Honda NX 500 is equipped with alloy wheels, dual discs at the front, Showa suspension, and a new digital display. Additionally, the bike features full LED lighting, traction control, and two-channel ABS. Honda maintained the 471 cm³ twin-cylinder engine, which delivers 50.2 horsepower in Brazil—slightly more powerful than in Europe, where it produces 47 horsepower.
Style and Comfort
In terms of design, the NX 500 brings a more modern and aggressive look, but without losing the essence of the CB 500X. The seat is a single piece, providing comfort for both the rider and the passenger. Another positive point is the reduced weight: the new bike is 3 kg lighter, totaling 196 kg.
Expectations for Launch in Brazil
Now, the question that remains: will the new Honda NX 500 arrive in Brazil in 2024? We know that Honda has a series of planned launches, but a lot is still left to be revealed. The forecast is that the NX 500 and the Hornet 500, another awaited novelty, will only arrive here in 2025.
Honda promised ten new models for Brazil in 2024, and so far, four have already been revealed. Six more are still pending, but most of them are small displacement models, like CG, Bros, and Biz. We can only hope that Honda will bring the NX 500 to Brazilian streets this year.
Staying Up to Date with the News
In the meantime, let’s stay updated with the news and hope that the new Honda NX 500 doesn’t take too long to appear on Brazilian streets. After all, fans of the CB 500X will surely want to check out everything this new bike has to offer.
