What are the differences between Honda CB400X and CB500X?
1 Answers
CB500X has a power advantage, while CB400X is easier to handle. Engine differences: Both have a bore of 67mm, but the CB500X has a stroke of 66.8mm and a displacement of 471mL, while the CB400X has a stroke of 56.6mm and a displacement of 399mL. The CB500X delivers a maximum power of 37kW (at 8500r/min) and a maximum torque of 45N.m (at 6500r/min), whereas the CB400X produces a maximum power of 33kW (at 9000r/min) and a maximum torque of 37N.m (at 7500r/min). It's clear that the CB500X has a slight power advantage over the CB400X, with its peak power and torque occurring at lower RPMs. Suspension differences: The CB500X is equipped with a SHOWA-manufactured 41mm adjustable telescopic front fork and a preload-adjustable center rear shock absorber, both with slightly increased travel compared to the previous model. Combined with the upgraded 19-inch front wheel, the minimum ground clearance is now 180mm, and the seat height has increased from 810mm to 830mm. The CB400X features a telescopic front fork from Chuannan and a preload-adjustable center rear shock absorber, both tuned for comfort like the CB500X. Additionally, the CB400X has a minimum ground clearance of 156mm, and its seat height is lowered to a more accessible 807mm compared to the CB500X, making it easier to handle for many riders. However, the CB500X clearly has an advantage in terms of off-road capability.
