12L Fuel TankWherever your adventure takes you, ride with confidence knowing that the SCL500’s stylish peanut-shaped fuel tank holds up to 12 litres |
Minimal, Informative LCD DisplayA street scrambler should keep things simple, so a neat, 100mm ring houses the negative LCD display. Information on show is just what you need, including a gear position indicator, fuel consumption and individual left/right indicator arrows. |
Natural Riding Position with Flat SeatFor easy control and turning in an urban area, the bike riding position is upright, with arms and knees placed in a comfortable, natural posture, while simultaneously offering you great all-round visibility. There's plenty of room on the flat seat to move back and forward, allowing for a more aggresive attitude. |
LED lightingRiding in low-light conditions? The bike’s LED lighting provides strong visibility while also running cooler and being more energy efficient. |
Accessible Seat HeightRiders of all different sizes and skill levels can feel comfortable on the SCL500 with its 790mm seat height. |
Power & PerformanceThe SCL500’s 471cc 8-valve, liquid-cooled parallel twin-cylinder engine is smooth, easy to use and thoroughly engaging. It features revised PGM-FI fuel injection mapping, and a new intake and exhaust setup that deliver engaging power and torque. |
Assist & Slipper Clutch ControlThe engine's clutch is designed to help you ride with confidence. It assists with a light lever load and makes for smoother, easier gear changes up and down. And you don't have to juggle engine RPM or worry about rear wheel lock-ups on multiple down changes -- the bike's slipper function handles that for you. |
Crisp AccelerationThe SCL500 engine includes a 41-tooth sprocket (one more than the Honda Rebel 500’s 40-tooth model), providing crisp acceleration through each gear. |
Balancing Size & OutputThe SCL500 packs a punch by maintaining a 67mm x 66.8mm bore and stroke, along with a 10.7:1 compression ratio – the same found in the rest of the 500 series. |
No-Nonsense, Raw & Tough StylingThe SCL500's head-turning style pays homage to the original Honda CL. |
Classic Upswept ExhaustThe SCL500 takes a key style note from classic bikes with an upswept exhaust pipe. |
Stability in Both On- and Off-Road Environments41mm telescopic front forks feature 150mm travel for supple control, along with a dose of off-road styling thanks to fork boots which also help with improved dust resistance. The rear Showa suspension delivers even more confidence from a 5-stage preload adjustment, ideal for luggage or a passenger. There's also the surefooted stability of a 19-inch front wheel, and the 310mm floating front disc and two-piston caliper ensure progressive stopping power with ABS optimised for dirt tracks as well as roads. Along with a reduction in damping for increased pitching movement, the suspension provides a more dynamic and intuitive ride experience. |
Adventure-Style TiresThe Scrambler’s versatile 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tires strike the perfect balance between on-road touring and dirt running performance. Inspired by the concept of modern adventure bikes, the tires find traction on a wide variety of surfaces, offering high-speed stability on the road, and predictable handling off-road. |
Standard ABSRiding on wet or dirty road conditions with confidence – the standard ABS helps create an optimal balance of front and rear braking forces when you’re counting on them. |
