2026 Honda® Rebel 500

From first ride to forever ride

Rebel 500 makes every ride approachable, fun, and stylish—now with ABS standard on every model. Choose the classic 500 or the factory-custom SE—either way, this lightweight cruiser is a canvas for your style, with a proven parallel-twin engine, easy handling, and the confidence to explore the open road.

Features may include:

• 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.

• Disc brakes with ABS

Front and rear disc brakes with our Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) now come standard on all trims, giving you excellent linear stopping power for supreme confidence in even the most challenging conditions.

• Slipper clutch

Born from Honda's racing pedigree, the perfected slipper clutch delivers a 30-percent lighter pull at the lever and steadfast lock-out when power meets the road.

• Blacked-out style

Our entire Rebel line features black elements throughout, allowing you to choose between understated elegance or creative exploration. It serves as a canvas of self-expression that's impressive by day and a masterpiece at night.

• 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.

• All-LED lighting package

The entire Rebel lineup features an all-LED setup, providing brighter, lighter, and longer-lasting illumination.
