Product Showcase: Rally Raid Products from Giant Loop
Cycle News Staff | August 7, 2015
Giant Loop is the exclusive North American distributor for Honda CB500X Adventure kits, parts and accessories from Rally Raid products.
UK-based Rally Raid Products designed and manufactures the parts, a suite of components that upgrade the stock Honda CB500X to an affordable, reliable, dirt-capable, globe-crossing adventure-touring motorcycle.
The basic Adventure kit includes replacement spoked-wheel set, longer-travel suspension and low front fender, with optional accessories including protective skid plate, heavy-duty footpegs and tail and side racks designed for compatibility with the Giant Loop saddlebags, panniers and soft luggage components.
Many parts and suspension upgrades are also compatible with the Honda CB500F and Honda CB500R models.
Giant Loop put together a prototype of the Honda CB500X Adventure using the Rally Raid Products. British rally racer Jenny Morgan then completed a successful 50-Day, 12000-mile, coast-to-coast proof-of-concept ride with the bike on the TransAm 500 Tour.
Here are some photos of the CB500X project.
