PT Astra Honda Motor has launched the NX500, the successor to the CB500X adventure bike, in Indonesia. It features a 471cc parallel-twin engine (50.4hp), Honda's E-Clutch assist, and RoadSync connectivity, priced from around Rp 230 million (about ¥2.3 million) on-the-road in Jakarta.
Reading the spec sheet, the biggest shift from the CB500X to the NX500 is clearly the addition of E-Clutch. A 471cc engine pushing past 50hp, plus RoadSync connectivity, all at this price point — that's going to raise the bar again for Southeast Asia's mid-size adventure segment. Calling this just a 'normal evolution' over the old model undersells it.

Launching in Indonesia first really shows where market momentum is right now
If it can handle long-distance touring, I'd want to hit the road immediately
E-Clutch makes pulling away easier right? Kind of curious about it
471cc pushing past 50hp is plenty for a mid-size adventure bike
At ¥2.3 million, it'll probably cost more if it ever comes to Japan
Adding E-Clutch on top of the CB500X is such a solid upgrade, I want one
