Fun to rideThe engine produces a remarkably broad torque curve for strong low-RPM performance, and peak power kicks in well below redline. This wide spread of power makes the Rebel easy and confidence-inspiring to ride in both stop-and-go situations and on the highway, while also returning impressive fuel economy ratings. |
Smooth for comfortA gear-driven counterbalance shaft helps quell engine vibration for enhanced rider comfort. It’s located so close to the crankshaft that the balancer weight passes between the two crank weights to keep the engine as compact as possible while improving mass centralization. |
Crisp responseProgrammed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI) continuously monitors several variables to help ensure the correct fuel mixture for the current riding and atmospheric conditions. The system delivers optimal performance and remarkably crisp throttle response over a wide range of operating conditions. |
Slipper clutchThe Honda Assist Slipper Clutch makes shifting the six-speed gearbox even smoother, while reducing clutch lever operation effort by 30%. It also reduces tire lockup on hard braking, improving safety. |
Distinctive chassis designCombining elements of bobber and chopper styling in its iconic fuel tank design, narrow frame, raked-looking front end and black-out components, the Rebel has a raw, no-nonsense appearance that’s bound to get noticed. |
Comfortable riding positionThe Rebel’s seat is designed for comfort, while its low 690 mm (27.2 in) height allows most riders to easily put both feet flat on the ground at stops for added confidence. The riding position is relaxed and neutral, with gently outstretched arms matched to mid-mounted footpegs. |
SuspensionThe front suspension offers precise steering and a plush ride, but the fat 41 mm fork tubes give the bike a substantial presence too. At the rear, the shocks are nitrogen filled, and have a special spring rate. Just like the front suspension, it's about adding both comfort and performance to your riding experience. |
Bold, oversize tiresOversize tires (130/90-16 front; 150/80-16 rear) help to contrast the narrow frame and add to the Rebel’s strong, confident stance. |
Standard ABSFront and rear disc brakes provide confident stopping power. Standard ABS provides exceptional braking performance and added peace of mind. |
Customize your rideWant to make your Rebel uniquely your own? Now there are more ways than ever to customize your ride. The accessories lineup has been boosted, with a rear rack, backrest, tank pads, saddle bags and instrument visor. |
Ample rangeChopper-style fuel tank looks compact, but its 11.2-litre capacity combines with the engine’s excellent fuel efficiency to help let you ride far and wide between fill-ups. |
Side-mounted keyThe side-mounted key location adds to the Rebel’s retro character. |
LED lightingAll lights are LED, and the evocative round headlight features a compact 175 mm diameter lens and die-cast aluminium mount. The ultra-thin oval taillight and licence plate light match the Rebel’s low-down stance and the mini circular LED indicators measure only 55 mm in diameter, offering great visibility in a compact package. |
