2018 Honda Rebel 500

The Rebel 500 is a stripped-down performer thats up for anything. From its subtle, blacked-out looks and compact frame to its low-slung seat, the Rebel just looks right. Especially in the new Candy Lightning Blue. Once you swing a leg over it, youll know why people are so excited. This bike is a fun ride with an impressive lean angle and a 471cc parallel-twin engine tuned for middle and upper-rpms. We think its the perfect canvas to customize and of course, it also rocks stock.

• PERFORMANCE

Twin-cylinder engines are a great choice for a machine like the Rebel 500. Honda twins are famous for their versatility, and the 471cc Rebel 500s engine is one of our best ever. The parallel-twin engine is narrow, which helps reduce overall bike size. Plus it offers lots of low-rpm torque, but plenty of higher-rpm performance.

• STYLE

The Rebel is a blank canvas for your self expression. But unlike the canvas you buy at the art store, this ones not boring white. As is, its black-out engine pieces, frame, and bodywork elements look great during the day and even better at night.

• COMFORT

When it comes to seat heights, almost everyone likes them lower. At just 27.2 inches, the Rebel has one of the lowest seats in anyones lineup. Its comfortable when you ride, and it makes it easier to flat-foot it at stoplights or in parking lots.

• ENGINEERING

A lot of todays motorcycles look great standing still, but disappoint once the road gets twisty. At Honda, we set high standards for the way all our bikes handle and feel, and the Rebel is a perfect exampleweve paid just as much attention to the way this bike corners and handles as we have its knockout styling.
