This week, in preparation of sending our first production Adventure Kit to Giant Loop in the USA, we took our own Honda CB500X Adventure to a local quarry in order to give the Tractive suspension a good work out over some big rock steps, and see how the ABS coped with steep grassy drops and loose climbs, needless to say, it performed faultlessly.
Giant Loop will be exhibiting their own CB500X Adventure at the Overland Expo in Flagstaff on 15/16th May before the bike is taken on a mammoth 8,000 mile trip by Jenny Morgan, crossing the US twice from west-east and back, using the Trans-Am Trail.This will take 2 months, from start to finish.
We are now gearing up for full production, to coincide with the launch at Flagstaff, and hope to ship kits by end of May.
This truly turns an affordable adventure tourer into a far more capable all-terrain and road travel bike.
