TORRANCE, CA – Honda is out with two new small Rebel cruisers for 2017. The company describes the Rebel 300 and Rebel 500 as “youth-focused customs.”
“The Rebel 500 and Rebel 300 are simple and raw, offering cutting-edge style and a radical image while minimizing the barriers to riding. There’s literally nothing else out there like them, and we’re confident that both models will appeal to young riders who want to stand out and are open to new experiences,” said Lee Edmunds, manager of motorcycle marketing communications at American Honda.
The Rebel 500 is powered by a 471cc parallel twin engine that has “strong bottom-end torque and a smooth linear power delivery,” while the Rebel 300 uses a 286cc single cylinder engine. The riding position on both models is “relaxed and neutral,” Honda says.
The Rebel 500 will be available in silver, yellow, black and red, with an ABS version in black only. Tentative MSRP is $5,999.
