The roads of India are going to reverberate with the thunderous voice of Harley-Davidson’s newest release. The eagerly awaited X500 has finally landed on Indian shores, heralding a bold new era for motorbike enthusiasts.
The release is an indication of Harley-Davidson’s keen resolve to integrate vintage American muscle with increasing Indian passion. X500 is not merely a motorbike—it’s a declaration of style, strength, and heritage.
Heart of the Machine: Engine Capabilities
The Harley-Davidson X500 has a 500cc parallel-twin engine that propels it. It is liquid-cooled and engineered to provide responsive torque output, giving riders the proper combination of punch and control. Such an engine configuration makes the X500 prepared for city commuting and long-haul cruising. It keeps Harley’s tradition of producing a rich, throaty exhaust sound but utilizes contemporary engineering.
Fuel Economy and Riding Range
As far as mileage is concerned, the X500 finds a good balance between performance and fuel efficiency. It returns an average of about 25 kmpl in mixed riding conditions. This makes it a sensible option for riders who desire everyday practicality without sacrificing the excitement of riding a Harley. Coupled with a reasonably sized fuel tank, it facilitates mid-range travel without the need for constant refueling.
What Else Makes It Stand Out
Other than the engine and mileage, the Harley-Davidson X500 introduces some contemporary features. The bike is equipped with a digital cluster, LED lighting, and dual-channel ABS for safety. The look remains loyal to Harley’s DNA—muscular, low-slung, and aggressive. The bike also gets upside-down front forks and mono-shock rear suspension for better handling and ride quality. Build quality is superb, following the global standards of the brand.
Price Tag and Launch Offer
The Harley-Davidson X500 has been introduced in India at a starting price of ₹5.70 lakh (ex-showroom). With its arrival in the mid-weight category, the X500 provides opportunities for young riders and first-time Harley buyers. Exclusive accessories and early bird finance options are being provided by selected dealerships at launch, making this new chapter all the more enticing for fans.
