Today’s article deals with the comparison review of the 2022 Honda CB500X vs 2022 Benelli TRK 502. Adventure tourers with two-wheelers are versatile motorcycles that can be used for commutes, touring and off-roading. Therefore, a person must not purchase three motorcycles to perform three different riding styles.
However, what is required is a good quantity of power that may be utilized for all riding activities. A 500 cc ADV motorbike is a fantastic choice because it has enough power for quick highway overtakes, the ability to escape sticky situations during off-roading excursions, and is not too heavy for city commuting. Here is a 2022 Honda CB500X vs 2022 Benelli TRK 502, two of the most economical 500 cc ADVs available.
2022 Honda CB500X vs 2022 Benelli TRK 502 – Features Comparison
Appearance
The CB500X resembles an ADV that has been scaled back. There aren’t many design components on the CB500X. A tiny triangular LED headlamp, a short beak, and a tall visor are all present. Because the frame is completed in red, it stands out. There features a side-mounted exhaust and a single-piece seat. Although it is a small item as well, the tail lamp thankfully has LED lights.

On the other hand, the TRK 502 appears to be a full-fledged ADV in every way. It is a result of its robust appearance, which includes a split headlamp, a pointed beak, a luggage rack, and knuckle guards on the front. Therefore, the 500X lacks the road presence that the Benelli does.
Engine Features
Both motorcycles have a parallel-twin, liquid-cooled engine, and a 6-speed gearbox as their powertrains. A 500 cc engine used by Benelli produces 46 Nm of peak torque at 6,000 rpm and 47.5 PS at 8,500 rpm. Honda uses a 471 cc engine that reaches its maximum power production of 47 Ps at 8,500 rpm and its maximum torque output of 43 Nm at 6,500 rpm.

The CB500X has an adjustable brake lever and a completely digital instrument panel. Therefore, neither motorbike offers a characteristic that jumps out.
Price
The Honda CB500X costs at ₹5.80 lakh (ex-showroom) while the Benelli TRK 502 costs between ₹5.49 lakh (ex-showroom) to ₹5.59 lakh (ex-showroom). The cost of the TRK 502 depends on the color scheme that the person chooses.
