2023 Honda SCL500

The SCL500 takes a key style note from classic bikes with an upswept exhaust pipe.

41mm 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.

The 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.

Riding 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.
