2025 Honda Rebel 500 ABS

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 remarkably slim, particularly at the crucial tank/seat junction, ensuring effortless mounting and dismounting, plus confident footing when stopping.
• MORE COMFORTABLE SEAT: A redesigned seat perfectly complements the 500’s updated rear suspension, further improving rider comfort and control.
• HANDLEBARS: Bars feature an updated shape that makes the Rebel even more comfortable and confidence-inspiring this year.

Engineering

• 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.
• 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.

Handling

• FRONT AND REAR DISC BRAKES WITH ABS: 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.
• WIDE FORK: Beyond precise steering and a plush ride, the wide front fork commands attention and provide superior comfort and performance.
• REVISED REAR SUSPENSION: Equipped with custom spring rates, the rear shocks get redesigned internals for increased bottoming resistance, added comfort, and improved handling.
• 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 light, practical, and easy to clean, while the wide tires give 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 500 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: 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.
• 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.
• 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.

Technology

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