- The suspension setup includes telescopic forks at the front and two Showa shock absorbers at the rear. For braking, there is a 296mm disc brake at the front and a 240mm disc brake at the rear, which also includes dual-channel ABS.
- The bike is fitted with Dunlop tires, which get 130/90-16 sizes at the front and 150/80-16 at the rear.
- The Honda Rebel 500 will be sold through the premium BigWing dealership network, and will compete with bikes like Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650, Shotgun 650 and Kawasaki Eliminator in India.
If you are looking for a stylish, low seat height and powerful cruiser bike, the Rebel 500 could be a great choice – especially for those who want something different and classic riding experience.
