A Sport For All Seasons
Is it any wonder why the Honda CBR500R is one of our most popular sportbikes? It just gets so many things right. Price. Power. Weight. Handling. Its twin-cylinder engine revs freely and produces plenty of torque, and it lets us keep the bike narrow and nimble too. The full-coverage bodywork looks like something right off the racetrack. Best of all, it's a bike you can start out on and never have to trade up. Plus, for 2021, every CBR500R comes with anti-lock brakes (ABS) as standard equipment. And there's a tasty new Pearl White color scheme this year too.
- Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI): PGM-FI continuously monitors several variables to ensure the correct fuel mixture is delivered for the existing riding and atmospheric conditions, ensuring a crisp throttle response throughout a wide variety of riding. Programed fuel injectors increase power and torque in the midrange.
- DOHC Twin-Cylinder Engine: Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the CBR500R's engine is one of our best ever. With good low-end horsepower and torque, the parallel-twin offers accessible performance across all RPM ranges.
- Stainless Steel Exhaust: With a dual-outlet muffler that you need to hear for yourself, this beautifully polished stainless-steel exhaust is integrated with the rear footpeg set for clean, functional design. The exhaust tucks in tight for better mass centralization (and consequently better handling).
- Supersport Styling: The CBR500R's aggressive styling comes with two great color options (including a striking new Pearl White), that keeps it right at the front of the pack in terms of eye-appeal. The aerodynamic bodywork also provides significant advantages in air management for added rider comfort, along with a low drag coefficient and effective cooling.
- Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS): Now standard equipment on every 2021 CBR500R, anti-lock brakes (ABS) helps you make confident stops under less-than-ideal conditions.
- Digital Instrumentation: A LCD screen features a digital speedometer and tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters, and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
- Disc Brakes: The front 320mm disc brake and 240mm rear feature drilled, petal-style rotors that provide strong stopping power. The front-brake lever is also adjustable for a perfect fit.
- Slipper/Assist Clutch: The slipper/assist clutch lets us lighten up the clutch-lever effort by 45 percent, but automatically locks up tight when you release it.
- LED Headlights: The CBR500R sports a pair of powerful LED headlights. They're small and light, throw out an amazing amount of illumination, and feature a stylish shape. The design also increases the engine's intake airflow.
- Smoother Transmission: Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You'll never see these parts, but you'll feel their effects.
- Steel-Tube Frame: A motorcycle's frame is the basis for its handling. Strong and light, the CBR500R's diamond-shaped 35mm steel-tube mainframe ties to the engine with four mounts, offering a rock-solid foundation for a superior ride and handling.
- Cast Wheels: Strong and stylish, the CBR500R's aluminum Y-spoke cast wheels are easy to keep clean, look great, and are another feature that just makes sense.
- Pro-Link® Rear Suspension: The CBR500R features special shock settings for improved ride comfort. Its sophisticated chassis uses Honda's Pro-Link® rear suspension; the nine-stage preload and 4.7 inches of travel gives you a comfortable ride over small bumps, while capably absorbing bigger bumps to increase riding comfort and handling.
- Step Seat: The CBR500R offers a stepped two-piece seat with a low height. Perfect for around-town riding or winding roads, it also offers room for a passenger and is specially designed to fit a wide range of riders.
