Rebel 500 Features

The 500 ABS and special edition trims get front and rear disc brakes with our Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) as standard, delivering unmatched linear stopping power for supreme confidence and control, ensuring safety in the most demanding conditions.

The fat 41mm fork tubes offer precise steering, a plush ride, and enhance the bike's substantial presence. Plus, the unique titanium oxide finish gives it that sleek blacked-out look.

Equipped with nitrogen-filled remote-reservoir shocks and custom spring rates, the rear shocks on these bikes provide the perfect blend of comfort and performance.

Cast wheels front and rear are light, practical, and easy to keep clean, and give it a look that tells you it is not built like a retro machine. The wide rims and tires also add to the bike’s overall appearance.

We've reduced clutch effort by nearly 30 percent. Born from Honda's racing pedigree, the perfected slipper clutch delivers a feather-light pull at the lever and steadfast lock-out when power meets the road.

Honda designers took a functional part of the motorcycle and made it look extra cool with the subframe. The aluminum subframe/fender mounts are strong, subtle, and light, providing a solid foundation for the optional/removable passenger seat.

One of the key items in motorcycle design is the fuel tank. The Rebel’s iconic fuel-tank shape is timeless but functional, as it also teams up with the bike’s great fuel efficiency to give you plenty of range.

We set high standards for how our bikes handle and feel, and the 500 is a perfect example. We’ve paid as much attention to how this bike corners and handles as we have its knockout styling.

The Rebel is ready for you to unleash your creativity. It's a canvas of self-expression that's impressive by day and at night, a masterpiece.

With handpicked factory-installed accessories – brown diamond-stitch seat, black fork boots and upper covers, and black headlight cowl, this special edition will sell out fast.

The three-inch, round nacelle headlight is a key element in the motorcycle's design, contributing to the bike's timeless character.

In the realm of seat heights, lower reigns supreme. This bike flaunts one of the lowest at 27.2 inches for maximum rider comfort and easy flat-footing at lights or in parking lots.

The ideal balance of relaxed cruiser comfort and dynamic sport riding engagement can be experienced through the thoughtfully crafted rider triangle.

The remarkable slimness of the bike, particularly at the crucial tank/seat junction, ensures effortless mounting and dismounting, as well as confident footing at every stop.

You can easily configure your bike for solo journeys or passenger comfort with simple, bolt-on features like removable seat rails, an optional passenger seat, and passenger footpegs.

When it comes to lighting, the Rebel lineup embraces an all-LED setup, offering lighter, brighter, and longer-lasting illumination throughout its entire package.

The instruments merge classic design with modern reverse-image digital LCD technology, providing a comprehensive display of information, including speed, gear position, fuel level, and engine modes.
