In 2024, Honda has reshuffled the CB500 series models. First of all, the CBR500R has a new look; Secondly, the CB500X was replaced by the NX500; Finally, the CB500F was incorporated into the Bumblebee series and renamed as the CB500 HORNET. Moreover, the overseas version of the ** is still lower than the CB500F. What have changed in terms of configuration and **? Let's take a look.
Exterior configuration
Recently, new cars** of the original CB500 series models have been announced in overseas markets. Among them, the starting price of the CB500 HORNET is 6690 euros, which is about RMB 5180,000 yuan. This ** is for reference only for the domestic market, because even the Triumph 400 retro single-cylinder model has to lower its stature to cater to the market.
Although the CB500 HORNET is incorporated into the Hornet system, its appearance has only been tweaked compared to the CB500F. The overall silhouette still shows the shadow of the CB500F. The light clusters, side trim panels, and rear details are more in line with Bumblebee's sharp style orientation on the original basis. The lighting system adopts a full LED light source, and the biggest change is the replacement of a TFT full-color instrument. Compared with the previous generation model, both the display clarity and functionality have been improved, providing functional configurations such as vehicle-machine interconnection and turn-by-turn navigation.
Power Engine
The CB500 HORNET is powered by the same engine as the CB500 series models, and is the same as the replica race and rally versions. It is an inline-twin liquid-cooled 471cc engine with a dohc four-valve structure PGM-Fi EFI system. However, its power performance is slightly different from the domestic version on sale, with a maximum horsepower of 475ps, maximum power 35kw 8600rpm, maximum torque 43Nm 6500rpm. This may be an adjustment to meet environmental standards.
Chassis hardware
Lightness and robustness continue to characterize the 2024 model. The body features a 35 mm diameter steel diamond-shaped frame structure, and the main frame has been specifically tuned to balance rigidity and toughness. Among them, the weight ratio of the front and rear wheels has reached 50 50, and the handling stability performance has been improved. The curb weight is 188 kg, which is 1 kg lighter than the CB500F. The seat height is 785mm, and the fuel tank capacity is 171l。
The shock absorption system is the same as that of the Hornet Hornet, with a Showa 41mm SFF-BP inverted fork and a mid-mounted rear shock with preload adjustment in the rear suspension. Its 5-stage adjustment function improves flexibility and comfort. The brakes feature Nissin calipers with front and rear disc brakes, while the addition of Honda's Optional Torque Control (HSTC) system further enhances safety.
To sum up, the Hornet Hornet series, as a global strategic model, is only a matter of time before it is introduced into China. According to the feedback of past riders on the CB500F, round lights are still the mainstream design. And it may take a while for a razor-sharp design like the Bumblebee series to be accepted. So the question is: for street car design, do you prefer round lights or shaped lights? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss.
