2026 Honda CBR500R Start your sport bike story Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. With a lower MSRP for 2026, the CBR500R brings that feeling closer than ever. And we didn’t cut corners. We simply reduced the price to make getting into sport riding simpler and more affordable. You still get full-fairing Supersport style, nimble handling, and approachable twin-cylinder performance, now available in Black or Grand Prix Red. Same bike. Better value. Is your soul ready to move? Comfort & Convenience STEP-UP SEAT: A two-piece seat with a dual-level design accommodates various riders and passengers, making it perfect for urban streets and winding roads. Engineering SLIPPER CLUTCH: Born from Honda's racing pedigree, the slipper/assist clutch reduces clutch lever effort by 45 percent compared to previous systems and automatically locks up tight upon release, reducing rear-wheel hop under hard deceleration. SMOOTH TRANSMISSION: Our engineers profiled the transmission shift dogs to help you change gears with reduced effort every time. While you'll likely never see these parts, you'll undoubtedly feel their effects. Handling ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS): Our Anti-Lock Braking System comes standard, providing assured stopping power and added confidence in challenging conditions, such as wet roads or loose gravel. SHOWA BIG PISTON FORK: The 41mm inverted Showa® Separate Function Fork—Big Piston (SFF-BP) front end enhances the bike's rigidity and provides more precise steering input and feedback. PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION: Our Pro-Link® rear suspension features a nine-stage adjustable preload shock and 4.7 inches of travel, providing amble comfort and agile handling. STEEL-TUBE FRAME: The diamond-shaped steel-tube mainframe is seamlessly connected to the engine through four mounts and provides a rock-solid foundation for an unrivaled ride and handling experience. LIGHTWEIGHT SWINGARM: The swingarm, utilized across the entire Honda 500 lineup, is nearly two pounds lighter and stronger than the previous version. This is one reason for the exceptional handling. CAST WHEELS: The lightweight, multi-spoke, cast aluminum wheels are designed to improve handling and fit various sticky street tires. Plus, they are easy to clean and just plain look good. Performance DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE: The 471cc parallel-twin engine has a dual overhead cam design that provides accessible performance across the RPM range, with strong low-end torque and high-rpm horsepower. STAINLESS STEEL EXHAUST: The polished stainless-steel exhaust seamlessly integrates with the rear footpeg mount, optimizing mass centralization and elevating handling prowess. This is what we call functional aesthetics. PROGRAMMED FUEL INJECTION: The PGM-FI system adjusts fuel levels based on parameters like temperature, elevation, throttle position, and riding style to increase power and torque across the RPM range and improve throttle response. Style SUPERSPORT STYLING: The stylish design of the fairing does far more than just look good – it ensures superior air management to optimize rider comfort, cooling, and aerodynamic efficiency. Technology LARGE TFT DISPLAY: A large Thin-Film Transistor (TFT) instrument display is bright and easy to read and features a digital speedometer, tachometer, odometer, and more. LED HEADLIGHTS: A pair of small and stylish LED headlights allow for the ideal placement of the engine intakes, resulting in increased airflow and additional horsepower without sacrificing illumination.
