2025 Honda Honda Rebel 500 (ABS)

2025 Honda Rebel 500 ABS - Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic

The 2025 Honda Rebel 500 ABS (coded as the CMX500AS) remains the gold standard for mid-sized cruisers in Acheson and Parkland County. While it keeps the iconic "bobber" silhouette that has made it a favorite in St. Albert and Sherwood Park, the 2025 model receives the most significant ergonomic and comfort updates in years. These refinements make it an even more capable companion for everything from city commuting in Edmonton to long, relaxed hauls through Leduc County.

2025 Generational Updates

• Optimized Handlebar Position: Honda has updated the handlebar shape for 2025, bringing the grips slightly inward and back toward the rider. This creates a more natural, "roomy" rider triangle that significantly reduces reach fatigue for riders in Spruce Grove.

• Redesigned Comfort Seat: The solo seat features entirely new foam material designed for superior support. It perfectly complements the chassis updates to ensure you stay comfortable on longer rides across Alberta.

• Revised Rear Suspension: The nitrogen-filled dual rear shocks feature new internal "bump rubber" shapes. This improves bottoming resistance when navigating the frost heaves or rougher backroads of Parkland County.

• Enhanced LCD Visibility: The circular digital instrument cluster has been updated with a more transparent, light-reflection-resistant screen. This ensures all your vital info—like gear position and fuel level—is crystal clear in the bright Acheson sun.

• Color-Matched Fenders: For a more premium factory look, both the front and rear fenders are now color-matched to the Mat Gunpowder Black Metallic fuel tank.

Proven Parallel-Twin Performance

• 471cc DOHC Engine: This liquid-cooled engine is celebrated for its versatility. It is specially tuned to deliver massive low-end torque for quick off-the-line performance at Acheson stoplights, while maintaining smooth, vibration-free power at highway speeds.

• Assist/Slipper Clutch: The clutch lever pull is incredibly light, making it a dream for the stop-and-go traffic of Sherwood Park. The slipper function also prevents rear-wheel chatter if you downshift aggressively on a winding Leduc road.

• Standard 2-Channel ABS: As an "ABS" model, this Rebel features anti-lock braking on both the 296mm front and 240mm rear discs, providing a vital safety net for the unpredictable road surfaces in Central Alberta.

• Blacked-Out Styling: From the engine and frame to the "shotgun" style exhaust, the bike features a minimalist, dark aesthetic that serves as a perfect canvas for your own personal touches.

Dimensions & Handling

• Ultra-Low 27.2-Inch Seat Height: This remains one of the lowest seats in the industry, allowing almost any rider in Parkland County to easily put both feet flat on the ground at a stop.

• Lightweight Agility: With a curb weight of just 414 lbs, the Rebel 500 is exceptionally easy to maneuver, whether you're lane-filtering or pushing it into your garage in St. Albert.

• Wide Fat-Tire Stance: The 130/90-16 front and 150/80-16 rear tires aren't just for looks—they provide excellent stability and a plush ride quality over varied terrain.

• Full LED Lighting: The 175mm round headlight and compact 55mm indicators are all LED, ensuring you have a modern light signature and superior visibility for night rides back to Spruce Grove.

Warranty & Peace of Mind The 2025 Rebel 500 ABS is backed by a 1-year, unlimited-mileage warranty. For our local owners in Acheson, St. Albert, and Sherwood Park, the Honda Plus extended protection plan is a popular way to ensure your cruiser is covered for up to 7 years.
