Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI)

The CBR500R uses a Programmed Fuel-Injection system (PGM-FI) with a 34mm throttle body. The goal is consistent fueling and smooth response across changing conditions—useful for commuting, canyon rides, and everything in between.

Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)

ABS is paired with dual 296mm front discs and a single 240mm rear disc. For riders in San Diego traffic or variable road surfaces, ABS can add confidence when braking hard or braking on less-than-perfect pavement.

Large TFT display

A large TFT display keeps key ride info clear and modern. It’s a simple feature that matters daily—especially when you want quick, readable data at a glance.

LED headlights

LED headlights deliver a crisp, modern look and bright illumination. Whether you’re riding early mornings or heading home after sunset, lighting is a practical technology upgrade you’ll appreciate.

Slipper clutch

A slipper clutch helps manage back-torque during aggressive downshifts. It’s a sport-minded feature that can contribute to smoother corner entries and a more composed feel when you’re riding with intent.

Six-speed manual transmission

The CBR500R uses a six-speed manual transmission. Paired with the bike’s rider-friendly power delivery, it’s designed to feel approachable for newer riders while still being engaging for experienced ones.

Showa SFF-BP inverted fork

Up front is a 41mm inverted Showa SFF-BP fork with 4.7-inch travel. Suspension quality plays a big role in how stable the bike feels under braking and through corners.

Steel-tube frame

A steel-tube frame provides a solid foundation for the bike’s handling character. It’s part of what makes the CBR500R feel composed and predictable for daily riding.

Cast wheels & sport tire sizing

Cast wheels are paired with a 120/70R-17 front tire and 160/60-17 rear tire. The sizing supports sporty turn-in while keeping the bike approachable for a wide range of riders.
