Honda intends to launch its entire 500cc lineup in India by the end of 2020. This also includes the Honda Rebel 500 cruiser. It will be Honda’s first small-capacity cruiser for the Indian market. Check out this beautifully butch and minimalistic cruiser in images:
The overall design language is pretty simple and straightforward. There are no sophisticated design elements, so it conveniently serves as an empty palette for users to explore customisation possibilities.
The bike gets a full-LED headlamp. Even the indicators and tail lamp are LED.
The chopped fenders, meaty 130-section front and 150-section rear tyres give the motorcycle distinct bobber vibes.
The Rebel 500 packs a negative LCD instrument cluster. It shows fuel consumption as well as gear position apart from the regular trove of information.
While the peanut-shaped fuel tank looks old-school, it is pretty small at 11.2 litres. But with a claimed mileage of 26kmpl, you can theoretically get a range of close to 300km on a full tank.
The motorcycle is powered by a 471cc parallel-twin liquid-cooled motor which churns out 45.5PS at 8500rpm and 44.6Nm at 6000rpm. The 180-degree firing order gives the bike a distinct exhaust note and the motor is Euro5/ BS6 compliant too.
The rear comes with a bolt-on aluminium subframe and the seat can be removed, thus enhancing the scope of customisation.
The riding stance is upright, with mid-mounted footpegs. This coupled with the low 690mm seat should make the bike easily manoeuvrable, especially for shorter riders.
The bike uses a telescopic front fork up front. Braking is via disc on both ends with dual-channel ABS as standard.
The rear employs a pair of Showa Nitrogen-filled shock absorbers with preload adjustability. Also, we feel the exhaust could’ve been designed better as it looks too stubby.
For an authentic old-school feel, Honda has positioned the ignition switch below the fuel tank on the left side. It may be inconvenient but it looks pretty cool.

Its super comfortable, easy to handle, and perfect for both city rides and long highway trips and it is affordable also. The ride feels amazing!

The Mid and Top Range of the bike so so smooth yet powerful, a value for money in my opinion and it's compact too 📈 really love the performance, the crusing is also fair on this bike, really Enjoyed the ride. Although some people might think they are over charging, but trust me, it's better than a 650 ❤️Read More
You know, the Honda Rebel 500 is one of those bikes they just completely nailed. It skips all that flashy, heavy chrome we see on old school cruisers and goes for this modern, blacked-out bobber look that works. And the first thing you feel is how crazy low that seat is. Seriously, it's a huge confidence booster.Read More
