Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India has begun delivering its Rebel 500 premium cruiser in cities including Gurugram and Indore. Priced starting at ₹5.12 lakh, the Honda Rebel 500 was launched in the Indian market in May. The premium cruiser motorcycle is sold through BigWing Topline dealerships and takes on competition, including the likes of the Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 and Kawasaki Eliminator.

Honda Rebel 500: Engine and performance

Honda is using a 471 cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin engine that is rated for 45 bhp of max power at 8,500 rpm and a peak torque output of 43.3 Nm at 6,000 rpm. The power is transferred to the rear wheel using a 6-speed gearbox that uses a chain drive. The configuration emphasises low- and mid-range torque, making the bike particularly suitable for urban commuting and effortless highway cruising.

The powertrain features an 8-valve DOHC setup, designed to provide a smooth and linear power delivery across the entire rev range. Additionally, the bike is fitted with a short, low-mounted exhaust that contributes to its overall compact design.

Honda Rebel 500: Features

The motorcycle is equipped with a comprehensive LED lighting system, featuring a round headlight that complements its vintage aesthetic. The dashboard is enhanced with an inverted LCD display, providing essential riding information such as speed, gear position, and fuel level.

Design elements include a steeply angled fuel tank, wide handlebars, and a limited application of body paint—all contributing to a stripped-down bobber appearance. The bike will be available in a solo-plus pillion setup, with no additional variants anticipated at the time of launch.
