Rebels are the ones who refuse to compromise, just like the Rebel 500 refuses to choose between power, precision and style. It’s able to deliver all three in excess, thanks to the timeless cruiser styling, a lean twin-cylinder engine and user-friendly powerband. While contemporary features like a full LED lighting package, our Honda slipper/assist clutch and optional anti-lock braking system make for an uncompromising ride down the straights as well as the twisties. Check out the Rebel 500 ABS Special Edition for a model that comes complete with our most popular accessories, like the diamond-stitch seat and headlight cowl.
