Honda's Rebel 500 and X-ADV begin deliveries in India

Honda has started delivering its new premium bikes in India—the Rebel 500 cruiser and the X-ADV adventure scooter.
The Rebel 500 packs a 471cc engine for relaxed rides, while the X-ADV steps it up with a powerful 745cc engine and smooth dual-clutch transmission.

TL;DR

Both models offer premium features

The Rebel 500 features a low seat, six-speed gearbox, assist/slipper clutch, dual-channel ABS, full LED lighting, and an LCD display.
The X-ADV gets a colorful TFT display with smartphone connectivity, multiple riding modes, torque control, cruise control, and a USB-C charging port.

Unique offerings in the Indian market

The Rebel 500 is one of the few Japanese cruisers in its class here—think Kawasaki Eliminator competition.
The X-ADV goes up against midweight adventure bikes like Triumph Tiger 900 and Suzuki V-Strom 800DE.
Both models are aimed at riders looking for something exclusive with advanced features—not just another bike on the block.
