2024 Honda® SCL500
CLASSIC CHARM. CONTEMPORARY EDGE.
Inspired by our scramblers of the early 1970s, the SCL500 reimagines that iconic style motorcycle with a modern flair. Featuring the hugely popular and always-ready-to-deliver Rebel 500-based engine, it’s tailored for today’s riders and engineered for today’s roads. Highlights include a high-set muffler, 19-inch front wheel, comfortable passenger-ready seat, and sporty slipper/assist clutch. With standard anti-lock brakes (ABS) for enhanced safety and performance, and a new Matte Black Metallic color for 2024, this scrambler-style motorcycle is the perfect combination of nostalgic style and contemporary performance.
Features may include:
ENGINEERING
- DOHC TWIN-CYLINDER ENGINE
Offering plenty of power and torque in the midrange, it features a 471cc, liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine. Light, narrow, and powerful, it just strikes the perfect balance of what a mid-sized motorcycle engine should be.
- ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
Anti-lock brakes (ABS) come standard, helping you make smoother, more controlled stops under less-than-ideal riding conditions.
- EXHAUST
We gave it a unique upswept scrambler exhaust with a twin-outlet muffler that produces a wonderful sound. It’s a little thing, but it’ll make you smile every time you ride.
STYLE
- UNIQUE SCRAMBLER STYLE
This bike gets the scrambler-style look just right: high-mount muffler, 19-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels with wide rims, and a blacked-out engine and frame.
- DIGITAL INSTRUMENTATION
An easy-to-read LCD screen features a digital speedometer, tachometer and more, including a clock, odometer, trip meter, real-time and average fuel consumption meters and illuminated engine diagnostic indicators.
- LED LIGHTING
With a clean, rough-and-ready look, the LED headlight and multi-facet reflector project plenty of light on the road for visibility.
COMFORT
- TWO-UP SEAT
The seat gives you an open, unrestricted riding position that’s perfect for both touring and commuting, and that still offers room for a passenger.
HANDLING
- BRAKES
It features single front and rear hydraulic disc brakes, so you get strong, predictable stopping power. The front brake lever is also adjustable for a perfect fit for all hand sizes.
- PRO-LINK® REAR SUSPENSION
A sophisticated chassis with Honda Pro-Link® rear suspension features a shock with nine-way adjustable spring preload to increase riding comfort and handling, as well as large-diameter internals for an even smoother ride.
- SMOOTH TRANSMISSION
Our engineers profiled the shift dogs in the transmission to help you get smoother shifts every time. You’ll never see these parts, but you’ll feel their effects.
