New Honda

Express your Individuality
Your motorcycle is you. It’s who you are. An extension of your soul. That’s why we built the CMX500 Rebel. Mixing raw, old school character with contemporary design its low-slung tubular steel frame grips an A2 licence compatible, twin-cylinder engine laden with character and torque. We’ve made some updates; newly optimised the handlebar position and seat are more comfortable. The stylish front mudguard is now painted steel. And, for a true expression of individuality, the street custom style of the CMX500 Rebel S Edition puts it right out there.

471cc Liquid-Cooled Parallel Twin-Cylinder Engine
With 34kW peak power, the CMX500 is A2 licence compatible. But what really gets noticed is the 43.3Nm torque, arriving at 6,000rpm, that delivers smooth mid-range performance.

Updated LCD Display
Compact – housed in a 100mm diameter dial – and super-sleek the negative LCD display lays out just the information you need, now more so even in bright sunlight, thanks to adjustments to the meter visibility.

Contemporary LED Lighting
The classic circular headlight, with its 175mm diameter lens, is brought up to date with four crisp LED bulbs matched by 55mm indicators and ultra-thin oval taillight.

High Quality Suspension
41mm telescopic front forks are set 230mm apart for handling control and give a compliant ride. The rear shocks feature new bump stop rubbers to smoothly absorb bigger hits.

Natural Riding Position
We’ve made the CMX500 Rebel a comfortable ride with easy-to-control, neutral steering. And thanks to revised proportions, the seat height has been adjusted to 690mm for easy ground reach.

Enhanced Seat comfort
Once you start riding the CMX500 Rebel, you will not want to stop. It’s that kind of bike. So new urethane foam material for the seat makes for all day comfort.

Street Custom Cool
Simple. Raw. Two words that define Rebel style.

Rolling on fat tyres, its low and lean bobber silhouette – crowned by steeply raked 11.2L fuel tank – sits you firmly in the bike. And this is a bike designed to look good with a rider on board, not just parked up. Every angle of its stripped form expresses an off-beat individuality. The steel frame is a signature design piece. As are the four LED headlight bulbs, the circular headlight, and compact indicators. A finishing touch? Shotgun is the word used to describe the 2-1 exhaust. And its pulsing note stirs the soul, just as it should.

Riding Confidence
Perfect for A2 licence holders. And, if we’re honest, anybody else looking for pure two-wheeled pleasure…

Any motorcycle’s heart is its engine, and the CMX500 Rebel has a great one. A twin-cylinder, liquid cooled parallel twin it packs torquey performance alongside smooth throttle response, with assist/slipper clutch control for lighter level feel around town and easy-going gear changes. The low-slung frame design makes for effortless walking speed manoeuvrability plus low seat height – just 690mm – for secure ground reach. And the naturally upright riding position puts you firmly in control of the bike with the relationship between handlebars, seat and footpegs just where it should be, for complete riding confidence.
