What's the story

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) has launched the much-awaited Rebel 500 cruiser bike in the Indian market. The motorcycle comes at a price of ₹5.12 lakh (ex-showroom, Gurugram). It can be booked at select BigWing Topline dealerships in Gurugram, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Deliveries are set to begin next month.

Design

It has a retro cruiser look

A global favorite, the Rebel 500 makes its India debut as part of Honda's growing premium motorcycle portfolio. The motorcycle sports a unique retro cruiser look with blacked-out styling. It gets a steeply raked fuel tank, a round LED headlamp, and an accessible low seat height of 690mm for better ease of riding.

Powertrain

What about the performance?

The Honda Rebel 500 is powered by a 471cc, liquid-cooled, parallel twin-cylinder engine. The engine delivers a power output of 46hp at 8,500rpm and a peak torque of 43.3Nm at 6,000rpm. The motor is mated to a six-speed gearbox that promises strong low-end torque and smooth delivery across the rev range.

Features

A look at the safety equipment

Rebel 500 is based on a tubular steel frame and comes with telescopic front forks, twin rear Showa shock absorbers, and a disk brake setup. The motorbike rides on 16-inch wheels shod with Dunlop tires. It also flaunts an inverted LCD display for rider information.
