With distinctive bodywork and a powerful 451cc engine, this aggressively styled streetfighter is for those who are not afraid to be seen. The Z500 ABS provides the ideal platform for a wide range of riders to put their true colors on display. FEATURES Power LIGHT. FUN. FIERCE.: The all Z500 ABS supernaked is packed with potent yet approachable power for a wide range of riders. RIDER-FRIENDLY ENGINE: The designed 451cc engine offers smooth, powerful acceleration for a variety of riding situations, with just the twist of a wrist. This well-balanced engine can take you from city streets to open road with ease. ASSIST & SLIPPER CLUTCH: The assist function helps you enjoy an exceptionally light clutch pull and wide clutch engagement range for confident control, while the slipper function reduces rear-wheel skipping and hopping when downshifting for more confidence. A RANGE OF POWER: This engine provides well-balanced power throughout the rev range at the twist of the wrist. Perfect for a variety of riding situations, the Z500 ABS delivers strong low-end power for city streets and high-end revs for top highway speeds. Handling SMOOTH MOVES: The foundation of the Z500 ABS is a lightweight trellis frame, which works with the excellent suspension to deliver a nimble, confident, and effortless ride. LIGHTWEIGHT TRELLIS FRAME: Designed with maneuverability in mind, the lightweight trellis frame provides stability where you need it and a low curb mass to keep handling light and maneuverable. EASY SUSPENSION: The rigid 41mm telescopic front fork provides excellent suspension action, giving you exceptional ride comfort and a firmly planted front wheel feel for easy direction changes and confident handling in every riding situation. Bottom-link Uni Trak® rear suspension with 5-way preload adjustability lets riders adjust the stiffness and ride height to suit body weight or two-up riding. THE BRAKING POWER YOU NEED: The Z500 ABS motorcycle’s large 310mm semi-floating front disc brake and designed front brake master cylinder work alongside a 220mm rear disc slowed by a dual piston caliper for sure stopping power. Plus, ABS comes standard for even more reassurance. Ergonomics A RELAXED RIDE WITH SUPERIOR COMFORT: The relaxed rider triangle accommodates a wide range of riders and riding situations, giving the Z500 ABS a rider-friendly character. The relatively upright riding position and wide handlebars puts the rider in the ideal position for active control, facilitating dynamic, sporty riding. BALANCED RIDING POSITION: Wide-set handlebars and a relatively upright seating position gives you active control for sporty yet balanced riding. RIDE IN COMFORT: The low-rebound urethane seat cushions give you ample padding, contributing to a supportive and engaging riding experience. EASY TO REACH THE GROUND: The sporty aluminum footpegs offer direct feel and good control when sport riding, positioning you slightly forward, letting you ride in comfort while staying out of the way so you can easily put your feet down at stops. Styling SUPERNAKED STYLE: An all front-end design and classic Sugomi™ design elements like its crouching stance and upswept tail give the Z500 ABS an unmistakable silhouette. THE FACE OF EXCITEMENT: Highlighting the Z500 ABS motorcycle’s intense and high-class styling, the designed front end gives this bike a face you’ll want to show off—all the while being recognizably iconic Z. LIGHT THE WAY: The triple LED headlight design keeps the focus on the low beams, providing excellent lighting performance in a compact size. FLOATING BODYWORK: The bodywork floats above the engine, highlighting the functional beauty of the engine, elegantly curved exhaust header pipes, and trellis frame. HIGH-GRADE COCKPIT: An all high-contrast LCD instrument panel keeps you in touch with your machine. Bluetooth® allows for wireless smartphone connection, and with RIDEOLOGY THE APP, riders can access vehicle info, riding logs, phone notifications, group ride communication, and maintenance logs.
