Honda has officially launched its much-anticipated cruiser, the Rebel 500, in the Indian market at an ex-showroom price of ₹5.12 lakh. Targeting cruiser enthusiasts who crave a blend of retro charm and modern performance, the Rebel 500 is now available for booking through select Honda BigWing dealerships located in Gurugram, Mumbai, and Bengaluru, as well as through Honda’s official website.
Deliveries for the Rebel 500 are set to begin in June 2025, marking Honda’s foray into the mid-size cruiser segment in India. The motorcycle sports a classic bobber-style design, highlighted by a low-slung seat, a narrow rear end, a high-mounted fuel tank, and a full blacked-out treatment. It is offered in a single, stealthy color—Matt Gunpowder Black Metallic—that adds to its bold street presence.
Under the hood, the Rebel 500 is powered by a 471cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin engine that generates 46 bhp at 8,500 rpm and 43.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm. The engine is mated to a six-speed gearbox, delivering a smooth and engaging riding experience, whether you’re cruising on highways or navigating through urban traffic.
In terms of equipment, the bike features an LCD instrument cluster and all-LED lighting, ensuring that form meets function. The suspension setup includes telescopic front forks and twin Showa shock absorbers at the rear, promising comfort and stability on varying road conditions.
Braking duties are handled by a 296 mm disc at the front and a 240 mm disc at the rear, complemented by standard dual-channel ABS for enhanced safety. The Rebel 500 rolls on chunky 16-inch alloy wheels with 130/90 front and 150/80 rear tire profiles, ensuring a commanding grip on the road.
With its aggressive styling, solid performance specs, and accessible pricing, the Honda Rebel 500 is set to rival offerings from brands like Royal Enfield and Triumph in the mid-capacity cruiser segment. For riders looking to make a statement while enjoying a refined, dependable machine, the Rebel 500 makes a compelling case.
