A colour update for the 2026 Honda Rebel 500 cruiser in Malaysia, with recommended retail pricing remaining unchanged from 2025 at RM33,899. The new colour option is Matte Gun Powder Black Metallic, while there are no other changes in the mechanical specifications for the Rebel 500. The power plant for the Rebel 500 is a liquid-cooled parallel-twin displacing 471 cc, fed by PGM-Fi and mated to a six-speed gearbox with assist and slipper clutch. The two-cylinder mill puts out 45.59 hp at 8,500 rpm and 43.3 Nm of torque at 6,000 rpm and is tuned for more torque lower down the rpm range. Non-adjustable telescopic forks hold up front end while a pair of Showa shock absorbers with nitrogen reservoirs at the back are adjustable for preload. Braking uses a single hydraulic disc on the front and rear wheels while two-channel ABS is standard equipment. The Rebel 500 rolls on 16-inch wheels front and rear, wearing 130/90 and 150/80 tyres, front and rear, respectively. Seat height for the Rebel 500 is a rider friendly 690 mm, and weight is listed at 190 kg with 11.2-liters of fuel carried in the tank. LED lighting is used throughout on the Rebel 500, and riding information is displayed on a 100 mm diamater round LCD negative backlight display with key information including speed, gear position indicator, and fuel consumption. Availability of the Rebel 500 at authorised Boon Siew Honda Malaysia dealers is from the end of March.
