Sling expands its commitment to mid-displacement sports cars with the new CBR500R Four 2027, a model developed from scratch that recovers the prominence of the inline four-cylinder engine in a category where twin-cylinder engines predominate. Its approach combines an aesthetic inspired by supersport of the brand, a propeller capable of rotating up to 12,500 rpm and electronic equipment designed to facilitate driving both on the road and in everyday life.
The new sports car develops 53 kW (72 hp) and 47.4 Nm of maximum torque, figures that make it an interesting alternative for those looking for something more than a practical motorcycle to get around. In addition, it incorporates as standard the system Honda E-Clutchwhich allows you to start, stop and change gears without operating the clutch lever, although this is still available for those who prefer to use it conventionally.
The set is completed with an inverted fork KYB 41 mm, radial-mount front brakes, traction control and a five-inch TFT screen with mobile connectivity. Sling It will also offer a variant limited to 35 kW for the A2 permit, thus expanding its potential audience.
Honda CBR500R Four 2027 Engine
The central element of the CBR500R Four 2027 is its new inline four-cylinder engine, DOHC and 16 valves, with 500 cc displacement. Sling has developed this mechanics to offer a usable response from low revolutions and a progressive delivery that extends until 12,500 rpm, where the red line is located.
The maximum power reaches 53 kW (72 hp) at 11,000 rpm, while the maximum torque is 47.4 Nm at 9,750 rpm. Its internal dimensions are 60 x 44.4 mm and the compression ratio is 12.3:1. To reduce mechanical losses, the cylinders have a nickel-silicon carbide (Ni-SiC) coating and the valve tappets incorporate a DLC treatment that reduces friction.
Another of its outstanding elements is the admission system downdraft with double duct Ram-Air. The air enters from the front area and reaches the 5.8 liter filter box, located above the combustion chambers. This configuration seeks to improve throttle response and promote performance at high speeds. The 4-2-1 exhaust, for its part, pays tribute to the historic Honda CB400 Four of 1975.

Sling has resorted to a diamond-type tubular steel frame that uses the engine as a supporting element. The brand thus seeks to combine lightness, rigidity and a progressive response, with a behavior that is agile on twisty roads without compromising stability on fast routes.
The front suspension is provided by an inverted fork. KYB 41 mm, while behind we find an aluminum swingarm associated with a shock absorber Pro Link with preload adjustable in 5 positions. The geometry includes a steering angle of 25º, a trail of 99 mm and a wheelbase of 1,408 mm.
In the brakes section, the sports car has two 296 mm front discs with calipers. Nissin 2 pistons and radial anchoring. The rear disc is 240 mm and works with a single-piston caliper. 2-channel ABS is part of the standard equipment.
The cast aluminum wheels, with five Y-shaped spokes, are fitted with pneumatic Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV in measurements 120/70-ZR17 front and 160/60-ZR17 rear. The declared curb weight is 189 kg and the seat height remains at 780 mm, two figures that help define its sporty approach without losing sight of accessibility.
Electronics Honda CBR500R Four 2027
Electronic engine management is supported by an accelerator Throttle By Wire (TBW), which allows you to choose between three predefined driving modes: standard, Sport and urban. Added to them are 2 configurations User to customize the behavior of the motorcycle.
The rider can adjust power delivery, engine braking and traction control in 3 levels Honda Selectable Torque Control (HSTC). In personalized modes it is also possible to disconnect the HSTC, adapting the response to the preferences of each user and driving conditions.
He Honda E-Clutch It is one of the great arguments of this CBR500R FOUR 2027. This electromechanical system manages the clutch so that the rider can start, stop and change gears using only the pedal, without having to operate the lever. The transition between ratios is done smoothly and quickly, while the electronics also help manage downshifts through an automatic throttle function.
The system adapts its operation to the engine speed, the throttle position and the selected mode. In addition, it incorporates a function that helps control rear wheel bounce during certain reductions. Those who prefer a traditional experience can continue using the conventional handle, and it is also possible to deactivate the E-Clutch following the procedure provided by Sling.
Honda CBR500R Four 2027 Equipment
The instrumentation consists of a 5-inch color TFT screen, designed to improve the reading of information even under intense light. It offers 3 display formats (Bar, Circle and Simple) and is operated using a 4-way backlit remote control located on the left pineapple.
Connectivity Honda RoadSync allows you to link phones Android and iOS to access features such as turn-by-turn navigation, calls, or intercom music playback Bluetooth compatible. It also includes a USB-C socket next to the screen for charging mobile devices. The lighting uses two LED projector headlights, accompanied by daytime running lights and integrated turn signals, while the rear light also uses LED diode technology.
As a cherry on top, Sling will offer a range of original accessories to adapt the motorcycle to different uses. These include a rear bag, a tall smoked screen, tank protectors, side grip pads, heated grips and an alarm system with acoustic warning.
Honda CBR500R Four 2027 design
The image of the CBR500R Four 2027 Goes for a sharp, compact and clearly sporty aesthetic. The front fairing, with the double LED headlights as the protagonists, integrates with the tank and the side panels to create a silhouette oriented towards the front axle. Without a doubt, a beauty.
Sculpted surfaces and multi-layered fairings reinforce its personality, while the raised, streamlined rear section accentuates the sense of movement. The fuel tank has a capacity of 14 liters and is combined with a narrow central area that facilitates the rider’s movements on the motorcycle.
The driving position also responds to this approach. In fact, the semi-handlebars are located below the upper seatpost to promote control in sports driving, although Sling has worked on ergonomics to maintain reasonably comfortable use during everyday travel.
