Powered by a 471 cc parallel twin cylinder engine which remains the same for 2020, with strong low-speed torque and smooth, linear power delivery, the Honda Rebel 500 is a friendly and easy to ride cruiser. The twin cylinder engine produces a torque of 43.3 Nm @ 6,000 rpm and a power of 45.5 HP @ 8,500 rpm.
