2026 Honda Rebel 500

Comfort & Convenience

• 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.
• ROOMY RIDER TRIANGLE: This bike’s thoughtfully crafted riding position offers the ideal balance of relaxed cruiser comfort and dynamic sport engagement.
• NARROW WIDTH: We designed the Rebel line to be extremely slim, especially at the crucial tank/seat junction. This ensures easy mounting and dismounting, as well as stable footing when stopping.
• PASSENGER SEAT AND FOOTPEG KIT: With simple, bolt-on features like our optional passenger seat and rear footpegs, you can easily configure your bike for solo journeys or two-up comfort.
• COMFORTABLE SEAT: Engineered for maximum comfort and control, the seat offers exceptional support and cushioning. It’s ideal for everything from quick zips across town to long days on the open road.
• DYNAMIC HANDLEBAR SHAPE: The handlebars are engineered to feature a shape that provides the ideal fusion of relaxed cruiser comfort and sport riding engagement. You get a commanding riding position that inspires confidence while remaining comfortable.

Engineering

• SLIPPER CLUTCH: Born from Honda's racing pedigree, the perfected slipper clutch delivers a 30-percent lighter 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.
• FUEL TANK: One key element in motorcycle design is the fuel tank. The Rebel’s iconic teardrop shape is both timeless and functional, complementing the bike’s excellent fuel efficiency to provide plenty of range.

Handling

• DISC BRAKES WITH ABS: Front and rear disc brakes with our Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) now come standard on all trims, giving you excellent linear stopping power for supreme confidence in even the most challenging conditions.
• WIDE FORK: Beyond precise steering and a plush ride, the wide front fork commands attention and provides superior comfort and performance.
• PREMIUM REAR SUSPENSION: Equipped with pre-load adjustable rear shocks and custom spring rates, the suspension provides the perfect blend of comfort and performance, elevating your riding experience.
• BIG TIRES: Fat rear rubber offers ample grip, while the wide front tire enhances the bike's look and delivers exceptional handling and braking control.
• CAST ALUMINUM WHEELS: Cast wheels front and rear are lightweight, practical, and easy to clean. Their wide stance gives the bike a retro-modern look that stands out from the crowd.
• EXCEPTIONAL HANDLING: We set high standards for how our bikes handle and feel, and the Rebel 500 line is a perfect example. We’ve paid as much attention to how this bike corners as we have its knockout styling.

Performance

• 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.

Style

• BLACKED-OUT STYLE: Our entire Rebel line features black elements throughout, allowing you to choose between understated elegance or creative exploration. It serves as a canvas of self-expression that's impressive by day and a masterpiece at night.
• ALL-BLACK EXHAUST: 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.
• CLASSIC ROUND HEADLIGHT: A round-nacelle headlight is a key element in the motorcycle's design, contributing to the bike's timeless character.
• STYLISH FENDERS: Durable, color-matched fenders are designed for strength and style, enhancing the Rebel's classic-meets-modern vibe both front and rear.

Technology

• ALL-LED LIGHTING PACKAGE: The entire Rebel lineup features an all-LED setup, providing brighter, lighter, and longer-lasting illumination.

This display combines classic and modern styles, making it easy to read while matching the bike’s overall design.
