Honda Rebel 500

The cruiser model ' Honda Rebel 500 was presented in 2016 along with the younger version Honda Rebel 300 in 2016 at the IMS show. Both models have replaced the obsolete Honda Rebel 250, which has been produced practically unchanged since 1985. Official sales of the Honda Rebel 500 began in 2017.

The Honda Rebel 500 is based on a liquid-cooled, in-line 2-cylinder engine found in Honda CB500F, Honda CB500X and Honda CBR500R, retuned to increase torque on the "bottoms" and reducing the maximum working speed. As a result, the engine began to produce about 45 hp. power and 44.5 Nm of torque. The younger version Honda Rebel 300 differs in that it is built on the basis of a 1-cylinder engine from Honda CBR300R, otherwise both versions are identical.

Compared to the Honda Rebel 250, the new version of the Honda Rebel 500 receives a number of technical and visual differences. Firstly, the appearance of the motorcycle has the features of a bobber. Secondly, the spoked wheels were replaced with cast ones. Thirdly, there is practically no chrome left in the motorcycle - instead of it, the parts are covered with matte black paint. Fourth, the classic analogue instrument cluster has been replaced by a fully electronic one.

On the technical side, the new motorcycle also has a number of radical differences. First, the engine increased its volume to 500 cc. see, became an in-line twin with liquid cooling and electronic fuel injection. Secondly, the classic 5-speed gearbox has been replaced with a 6-speed one. Thirdly, the braking system is now fully disc braking with the possibility of equipping with ABS.

From the additional equipment of the Honda Rebel 500, in addition to ABS, it is possible to order passenger footpegs, a saddle, luggage accessories and a windshield.
