That combination is why this silencer sells: a CB500X owner can fit it on a Saturday morning and ride to work on Monday with nothing to explain to anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.1 kg, almost exactly half the standard silencer's 4.1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEC and ECE type approval, plus a US EPA approval\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCarbon fibre sleeve and end cap on a stainless steel link pipe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e44.4 PS, with 0.8 Nm more at 4,600 rpm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlug and play in three quarters of an hour, no remapping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive model names covered by one part\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFive Names, One Platform\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonda's 471 cc parallel twin carried the naked CB500F, the adventure-styled CB500X and the faired CBR500R, with 399 cc CB400X and CBR400R versions for markets with a licence class at that capacity. All of them share the exhaust, so one silencer covers the set from 2016 to 2019.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonda revised the range for 2020 and again more recently; those machines take a different part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA2 Riders and Type Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the motorcycles people ride on a restricted licence, often as a first bike and often to work. A type-approved silencer matters more here than it does on a track machine — an insurance claim or a roadside check should not turn on what exhaust is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE approval means no entry in the German vehicle documents. It is a type approval and not an ABE, and the certificate ships with the part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Two Kilograms Does on a 190 kg Bike\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHonda's silencer weighs 4.1 kg, which is a lot on a machine this size. Halving it takes just over one per cent off the total weight, all of it high and behind the rider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe honest description is that it makes the bike feel a little more willing to change direction, not that it transforms it. Anyone promising more than that is selling something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Power Figures Are Small and Real\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e43.9 PS to 44.4, and 42.8 Nm to 43.5, with the gains recorded at 7,450 and 4,600 rpm. On a 47 PS-class twin that is under two per cent. Akrapovic states the numbers plainly and so does this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 0.8 Nm at 4,600 rpm is the one a commuter notices, because that is where a 500 twin pulls away from a junction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Note From the Manufacturer\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAkrapovic adds that this product was developed and tested on a motorcycle with EU specifications, and that fitment and performance may vary in other markets. For a bike sold in Germany that is not a concern; for a grey import it is worth reading twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCarbon on a Commuter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeve and end cap are carbon fibre, with a stainless steel link pipe and inner structure doing the structural work. Carbon stays black and does not take a heat colour, which suits a motorcycle that gets washed rather than polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRoad Approval\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEC and ECE type approved, plus a US EPA approval.
