I, I can't still believe you managed to get that bike up in that hill. That was freaking amazing! The CB500 X prooved to be an authentic adventure bike!

I bought one in June and LOVE the thing! So versatile, so easy to ride and always leaves you with a smile on tour face :)

WHAT THE HELL!! I have only done the hard ways on my Beta 520 or KTM300!! At least I know you are breathing hard and it's not easy on that bike. Man those tires are getting amazing traction on that beast. And the morning ride with sun blazing into the eyes sure does create a challenge as well. I also can't believe how well the trail has recovered since the fires a few years back. And your comment that it's so light is funny since you are pointed uphill. Of course you are a very strong dude so a free pass is in order!! I am very well acquainted with some of those sections you were riding through. I'm amazed how well that bike could just tractor through!! Good job my man!!

Crazy track brother! Loved it great job, you are a awesome rider!

Cant wait till I get mine. Sweet video, man you were getnit done!

Great bikes, and good solid test for it. Good riding skills mate.

I am impressed. You didn’t fall off it, break it, or break yourself. A rare occurrence which is why it’s so impressive.

finally a good rider doing a review, cheers

I can't believe what you can mob that bike up! I need to chase you around again. Amazing!

Thanks for uploading!

Awesome! Looks like a super fun "All Sport" bike!

Great video!!!

Great vid. Can't wait to go off road on mine

just found your channel liked and subbed. I bought my first bike a couple of months ago, a crf250l rally... planning on keep learning amd improving my skills on the 250... and when paid off, will probably buy this 500! loveee this bike. Would make a great commuting bike, and to go on light trails in the afternoons. thank you!!

Thanks for your review. I recently purchased a 2020 CB500X. I've owned several motorcycles throughout several years. This bike is underrated for it's capabilities at this price. I mainly stick to the fire roads of New Mexico. They are nowhere near as gnarly as this. I'm very impressed! T-Rex Racing makes an overly built skid plate for this bike. USA made too. I will be mounting the Dunlop Trailmax Mission tires soon. Your tire reviews are phenomenal. Thanks!

Best video on this bike. You rule. X

I am looking for my AT 50/50 nobbis so thank u for describing ax41 ! 73

This is amazing ! I have no experience, so I only drive on asphalt, but I know what that motorcycle can do, if you drive !

Man, I'm sold, I want one !

The motorcycle I want on the trails I want to ride. Thanks for the video boss👌👌.

Very impressive! Either that bike is a lot better than it looks or you are very fit. Maybe a bit of both 😊 I am riding a CRF 250 rally with hyperpro suspension and Anakee Wild tyres. Really enjoying it, but of course it lacks a bit of speed on the motorway. Be interested to see how your 500 works out with the mods you plan.

YOU RIDE GOOD!

Hey Kyle.. crazy ride for the pint size baby AT lol... don’t worry about the exhaust pipe it will buff out !!!! Hahahahahahahaha miss seeing the big AT .. but I still did enjoy your video as always.. omg did I just say that.. I want more big AT .. hey I need 2 ask you do you know when your next shipment of Motoz Rally will be in need a set for my Big AT ... lol.. thanks again buddy ..do appreciate all the work you put into your videos..travel safe my friend.. ps.. band of brothers.. More please..

Many thanks for sharing...

Impressive!

Very good i like that

Hi Kyle! First of all, thanks for all the thourough and detailed videos of the CB500X you've uploaded so far. I also have a youtube channel (on other account) and I'm planning to make a video about the CB500X capabilities on the dirt with proper tires. Can I use footage from this video and credit you and your channel? Thanks and keep these awesome videos comming!

Use first gear engine breaking a lot in the steep slopes in the Ozark mountain trails we play on. I have one of these CB500x at a local shop all dressed up with crash bars and engine guard etc. With a more aggressive set of off road tires. Thanks for your thoughts and experience on this bike.

Awesome video thanks. Have you had a chance to compare the 2022 version to the 2019 version, in particular the improvement in the suspension? That would be really interesting. Many thanks.

Sorry to fire up an old thread but this video may have tipped me into retiring the K1200LT and getting into this model and trying to get a few more years of more off-pavement riding :). My wingman has never done off-road so not sure if we will ever do a trail like that but there is always hope! Question about the slipper clutch...i know it reduces stress for gearing down and such but does it also reduce the potential to burn up the clutch when you are trying to launch uphill/ I expected to see smoke any minute and degradation of the clutch but it appeared to lock up great, I was stunned. I have seen guys who have unfortunately horked up their Himalayan clutches trying to make half the horsepower do twice the work, that seemed like an acid test for the clutch, though, wow. Thumbs up!

Excellent video, just goes to show what the bike can do. Many would say it’s not supposed to do what you did!

Goes to show how capable it is :) Been looking at one of these compared to a 1150gsa an Himalayan for a trip to iceland.

This bike needs your skills to fully appreciate its potential!

Nice video! How do multi-spoke cast aluminium weheels work in offroad? I should buy spoke wheels? Is the abs instrusive? Thank you so much!!

Nice vid! Looks more like a giant rut than a trail =D Why Honda hasnt developed a dual-sport ADV out of this bike is beyond me. Taller/better suspension, 23" front wheel, re-route pipe with bash guard. Call it a CB500XRL or Halfrica-Twin! A factory RallyRaid option.

Good job

Good afternoon. I’m subscribed to your channel, and I’ve seen this video where you walk on sections off road. Very good! Could you give me tips on the accessories you installed, to make the 500X more appropriate? I live in Brazil, and I used Google translator. I'm sorry for a possible flaw in the text. Obs. The new model (with 19 rim wheels in the front), has just been launched here. I'm going to buy my bike next week. Thank you, Fernando Brandt.

Is it worth spending for the newer 2019 model with the 19" front wheel?

I am interested with the way you hold the thortle and your mid finger on the brake. I am still learning this technique but i cant find video about this in youtube. Maybe you can make one. Thank you.

Cb500x ♥️

Hi Kyle, can you tell me where to buy aftermarket parts ( front and rear suspension), skid plates, soft side bag mounting frames etc. I am getting a 2021 and will need to add parts to the bike. This is such a popular motorcycle I would assume there is a place other than the RR place in England that specializes in CB 500 X's. thanks

Definitely pushing this bike far beyond it’s intended purpose. Sure makes for a good watch though!

Good to see someone actually use this bike properly.lolol. what tyres are you useing if you dont mind me asking?

Great bike, do you think this will be a good bike for a beginner? I'm 5'7 and plan to use it 70% on Road and 30% Off Road. Thanks

Thanks for your vidéo ! Have you change the rear tyre by a 150 now ? Because i really esitate between 170 and 150 for AX41...

What tyres are you using? Not stock I assume? I think I caught Bridgestone Battlax? You actually say what is used at the end, AX40s (guess I should learn some patience before posting!)

What make & size is the rear tyre ? Looks nice.

So did you ever get a CB500X and if so do you still have it today? Love to know how you feel about the bike now that the honeymoon is long over. Thx

Kyle- I have alot of questions regarding how to outfit my new 2021 Honda cb 500 X. How do I get in touch with you-is the only way thru utube?

It’s about the smallest bike I’d consider; here in the US West you simply have to be able to cruise at 75. And this vid also shows the value of torque which is why a 300 Versys is just too small and high strung.

Would the CB500X be suitable for someone that is 6’2 225 lbs??

I have offroad tires, skid plate and crashbars on this bike. It's stil winter up here in Canada so I havent been able to ride this new-to-me bike yet. I'm an experienced dirt bike/dualsport rider. You think I;'d be able to bomb this trail? I ABSOLUTELY would on my dr 650.

Is the front tire the same size as the stock tire?

I have been in areas like this with my AT. Though I'll admit, not nearly as gracefully as you pulled it off.

I could have coasted down that on my KLR650 with half the trouble you just had. so smaller is not always better.

How does the cb500x compare to the KTM390 ADV, and which one would you pick given those two options?

I would be terrified to do that with a skid plate.

Invest on hand guards,engine guards,skid plate,centre stand and use side panniers

Is your rear tire 170/60-17? Thank you.

I heard you said that your 2019 Honda CB500X is not equipped with ABS?

1:31-1:32 now thats a wallpaper

are those tires the stock tires ?

Hi all! Sorry i'm not english, but what's the dimensions of tyres? Thank a lot

Do you have the 2 inch rally raly lift kit?

🇬🇧 Nice tyres, what's the brand and model of your tyres ? 🇬🇧

Das Enyone nows Wats the hight of the Seat is. Im a smaller Guy. Bud i like the bike very mutch.

🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

👍👍👍👍👍

Unbelievable! Do you buy pants one size larger to accommodate the size of your...attachments? That's a 430 pound bike. I passed on those sections riding a 260 pound dual-sport! Of course I'm OLD and couldn't take a chance of dropping it which was easy to do with a 37" seat height. It was all I could do to pick it up.

No skit plate?!

thats called adventure, the new all 2022 will be more capable than the 2019/20/21

Blame it on the skid plate. lol.

, mammmaaammmiiiiiiiiiaaa!

IT absolutely DOES have ABS

👏👏👏🌹👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Aber warum?

This video prove’s how honda neglect this bike so hard, you don’t need an over the top expensive africa twin to go into trails like these with a 1000cc engine. 47hp is way good enough and the lighter the better. If they made it with spoked wheels and metal sump guard and a more decent suspension it will do absolutely great for most of the average joe’s out there. Why adventure riding have to be so expensive!?

I have to say something here, I have watched the entire video and I have heard you mention several times that a big adventure bike can't do what you just did, let me tell you a secrete, I have taken my 98 gold wing places most people would never take a bike like that, it really isn't the bike (it's the skill of the rider) not the bike, a good confident rider, can make any bike work for them no matter what the situation.

Whoow thats what i want. Dutch gay speaking. You Made me by this bike. Good footich. Thanks

You're a mountain king. This bike is not made to do that.

Get a skid plate fool!

You are so lucky man. If those damge was at carter.......
