2024 Honda SCL500

Overview

Honda had the ideal platform for a scrambler-style motorcycle already in its lineup in the Rebel 500. A few styling and chassis changes and the SCL500 was born. A high-mount muffler, neutral and relaxed riding position, lots of suspension travel with gaiter-protected fork tubes, and 19-inch front and 17-inch rear tires provide the look of classic '60s scramblers.

Power comes from Honda's 471cc liquid-cooled parallel twin, which features double-overhead cams and four valves per cylinder. It is fed by programmed fuel injection. A six-speed gearbox and assist/slipper clutch send power to the rear wheel via a chain final drive.

A 41mm fork with 5.9 inches of travel, and a pair of preload-adjustable shocks with 5.7 inches of travel make up the suspension package. Braking comes from a twin-piston front caliper biting a 310mm disc and a single-piston and 240mm disc at the rear. Both are ABS equipped.
