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, giving you excellent linear stopping power for supreme confidence in even the most challenging conditions.

Beyond precise steering and a plush ride, the wide front fork commands attention and provide superior comfort and performance.

Equipped with custom spring rates, the rear shocks get redesigned internals for increased bottoming resistance, added comfort, and improved handling.

Fat rear rubber offers ample grip, while the wide front tire enhances the bike's look and delivers exceptional handling and braking control.

Cast wheels front and rear are light, practical, and easy to clean, while the wide tires give the bike a retro-modern look that stands out from the crowd.

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 as we have its knockout styling.

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 made the motorcycle's rear subframe look great while still functional. The aluminum subframe/fender mounts provide a solid foundation for the optional/removable passenger seat.

One key element in motorcycle design is the fuel tank. The Rebel’s iconic teardrop shape is timeless but functional. It also pairs well with the bike’s great fuel efficiency to give you plenty of range.

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

With handpicked factory-installed accessories—brown diamond-stitch seat, black fork boots, and a color-matched headlight cowl—this Special Edition won’t last at dealerships for long.

The blacked-out exhaust system perfectly complements the bike’s overall look. And maybe the biggest plus is the awesome sound that’s central to the riding experience.

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

Durable color-matched fenders front and rear now come standard on the 500 line. They are designed for greater strength and a style that perfectly highlights the new color options.

In the realm of cruiser 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.

This bike’s thoughtfully crafted riding position offers the ideal balance of relaxed cruiser comfort and dynamic sport engagement.

We designed the Rebel line to be remarkably slim, particularly at the crucial tank/seat junction, ensuring effortless mounting and dismounting, plus confident footing when stopping.

With simple, bolt-on features like our removable seat rails, optional passenger seat and rear footpegs, you can easily configure your bike for solo journeys or two-up comfort.

A redesigned seat perfectly complements the 500’s updated rear suspension, further improving rider comfort and control.

New bars feature an updated shape that makes the Rebel even more comfortable and confidence-inspiring this year.

Twenty-two different genuine Honda accessories are available to make your Rebel 500 even more yours, from stylish add-ons to passenger seating to luggage options and more.

The entire Rebel lineup features an all-LED setup, providing brighter, lighter, and longer-lasting illumination.

We updated the digital LCD screen for improved transparency and increased light reflection resistance, making the classic-meets-modern-style instruments even easier to read.
