Built around a retro-inspired bobber design, it combines a low-slung profile with modern elements like an all-LED lighting system, inverted LCD display, and fat tyres for a strong street presence.
Under the fuel tank lies a 471cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine producing 34 kW at 8,500 RPM and 43.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 RPM. The power is delivered through a 6-speed gearbox, engineered to offer smooth and torque-rich performance ideal for relaxed cruising or city rides.
Honda has tuned the Rebel 500’s exhaust note to match its laid-back character, enhancing the cruiser appeal. The motorcycle’s chassis has a tubular steel frame, telescopic front forks, and Showa dual rear shock absorbers to provide a stable and comfortable ride.
It comes equipped with 296mm front and 240mm rear disc brakes, supported by dual-channel ABS, ensuring braking confidence. The Rebel rides on Dunlop tyres with a 130/90-16 at the front and 150/80-16 at the rear.
The low seat height of 690mm and the minimalist, blacked-out design makes the Rebel 500 accessible and stylish, aimed at both new and experienced riders looking for something distinctive.
Honda is marketing this model not just as a motorcycle but as a bold statement of status and freedom.
