The Honda CMX500 Rebel (also called the Honda CMX500[3] or Rebel 500[4]) is a cruiser motorcycle made by Japanese company Honda.
Designed as a cruiser, the model was presented in November 2016 in Long Beach, California, and put into production in spring 2024. Since its release, newer iterations have featured an LED lighting package, new instrument cluster, and slipper-assist clutch.[5] The Rebel 500 uses the same 471 cc (28.7 cu in) 180° crank straight-twin engine as Honda's other 21st century "500-twins", such as the CB500F and CL500.
