2026 Honda CL 500

The CL 500 is Honda’s pragmatic answer to the scrambler trend. Its 471 cc twin delivers smooth, accessible power, making it easy to ride in both urban environments and on country roads. The neutral handling and 19-inch front wheel provide stability without sacrificing agility.

Compared to the CMX 500 Rebel, it shares the same engine but offers better off-road capability thanks to larger wheels and a higher riding position. Competitors include the Triumph Scrambler 400 X, Royal Enfield Bear 650, and Ducati Scrambler Icon.

Overall, it is a well-balanced scrambler for everyday use and light off-road riding.
