Let your ride do the talking

Blacked-out style

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.

Let your ride do the talking

Low seat height

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.

Let your ride do the talking

Revised rear suspension

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

Let your ride do the talking

Sporty engine

Celebrated for its versatility, the narrow parallel-twin engine masters size reduction while delivering big low-rpm torque and thrilling high-rpm performance.

Old-school cool, new-school tech

View all Features

Wide fork

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

Cast aluminum wheels

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.

Slipper clutch

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.

Die-cast aluminum subframe

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.

Roomy rider triangle

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

Fuel tank

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.

Exceptional handling

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.

Restyled fenders

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.

Narrow width

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.

Passenger seat and footpeg kit

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.

All-LED lighting package

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

Accessories

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.
