2023 Honda Rebel 500 cruiser revealed

Honda has pulled the covers off the 2023 Rebel 500.

The 2023 Honda Rebel 500 motorcycle has been unveiled. Honda's latest cruiser has arrived at a starting price of $6,449 (approx ₹ 5.24 lakh) in the US. 

There are no major mechanical changes in the 2023 Rebel 500 cruiser. It continues to be powered by a 471cc, parallel-twin liquid-cooled engine, which is mated to a six-speed transmission. The new version has been revealed in three trims – Standard, ABS, and ABS SE. The bike will use telescopic forks at the front and twin shocks at the rear. 

The standard and ABS versions are offered in Matte Black Metallic and Candy Blue paint schemes. However, the top-spec SE trim is offered in a unique Titanium Metallic shade. There are no fundamental changes in terms of its design, which means that it'll continue to have a peanut-shaped fuel tank, a single-seat setup, a raked front end, and typical cruiser proportions.  

Honda has also brought customisation options, meaning optional accessories like a saddlebag, a headlight cowl, a fork cover, and a meter visor can be added to the motorcycle. As for its India arrival, the middleweight cruiser is not yet confirmed for our market.
