Overview
  Engine & Drivetrain
Cruising power
 
Honda engineers tuned the Rebel's engine and exhaust system to perfectly suit the cruiser riding style, resulting in strong low-end torque, a wonderfully smooth powerband, and an ear-pleasing sound.
Strong low-end torque
 
The Rebel’s 471 cc, liquid-cooled, parallel-twin-cylinder engine is drawn from the sporty CBR500R. For cruising duties, revised PGM-FI fuel injection mapping and different valve and ignition timings mean its character is shifted away from the high rpm-focused performance of the CBR to torque-heavy bottom-end output, with smooth and linear delivery throughout the rev range.
Smooth and compact
 
Engine vibration is kept to a minimum by using crank pins phased at 180 degrees and a balancer shaft behind the cylinders, which also contributes to the engine’s compact size.

New slipper clutch

For 2020, the new Honda Assist Slipper Clutch makes shifting the six-speed gearbox even smoother, while reducing clutch lever operation effort by 30 percent. It also reduces tire lockup on hard braking, improving safety.
High-tech design
 
A light and compact roller-rocker-arm assembly and shim-type valve adjustment allows a lower valve-spring load for reduced friction and a compact cylinder head. And to ensure precise cylinder shape, the engine uses centrifugal-cast thin-wall sleeves.
 Chassis & Suspension
 
 
Distinctive chassis design
 
Combining 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 seat height

The Rebel’s seat has been redesigned for improved 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. Want to bring a friend along?

Improved front and rear suspension

For 2020, revised fork spring rates and oil quantities result in more compliant damping for a smoother ride. At the back, the twin shock absorbers with five-step preload adjustment are now nitrogen-charged, with revised spring rates and reshaped damper rubbers for more consistent damping.

Bold, oversize tires

Oversize tires (130/90-16 front; 150/80-16 rear) help to contrast the narrow frame and add to the Rebel’s strong, confident stance
Available ABS
 
Front and rear disc brakes provide confident stopping power, or step up to available ABS for the ultimate in braking performance and peace of mind.
  Additional Features
 

Ample range

Chopper-style fuel tank looks compact, but its 11-litre capacity combines with the engine’s excellent fuel efficiency to let you ride far and wide between fillups.

All-LED lighting
 

All lights are now LED, and the evocative round headlight features a compact
175 mm diameter lens and die-cast aluminium mount. The new ultra-thin oval taillight and licence plate light match the Rebel’s low-down stance and the new mini circular LED indicators measure only 55 mm in diameter, offering great visibility in a compact package.

Side-mounted key

The side-mounted key location adds to the Rebel’s retro character.

New instruments

New for 2020, a gear position indicator and a fuel consumption display join the compact speedo with negative LCD display, keeping you fully informed of the bike’s operation.
Customize your Rebel
 
Want to make your Rebel uniquely your own? Now there are more ways than ever to customize your ride. For 2020 the accessories lineup has been boosted, with a new rear rack, backrest, tank pads and instrument visor. A nylon saddlebag option is also now available alongside the existing leather bags.
