For 2024 Honda replaced the CB500X with the NX500, reviving the name of the old NX650 Dominator for its A2-licence-friendly adventure crossover. The 471 cc parallel twin carried over with revised fuel-injection mapping, Honda Selectable Torque Control and an assist/slipper clutch. It also got sharper styling with LED lighting, a 5-inch colour TFT dash with smartphone connectivity, lighter cast wheels and revised suspension settings. The frame was unchanged, and the bike remained a 19-inch-front all-rounder for commuting, touring and light gravel use.
