2021 Honda Rebel 300

Hondas Rebel models have always been a winning combination: Theyre light, fun to ride, feature low seat heights, and give you legendary Honda quality. And heres the best partthey do all that with a fresh, unique look thats worlds apart from traditional cruisers. And where some cruisers are only fun when youre riding slow, the Rebel kicks it up a notch when the roads open up and get twisty. Built around a narrow 286cc single-cylinder engine, the Rebel 300 features Hondas rider-friendly slipper/assist clutch. And its a blank canvas for customization too, with a whole bunch of available Honda accessories. Everything you want and need (including optional anti-lock brakes), without a bunch of stuff you dontthe Rebel 300 and Rebel 300 ABS are the perfect bikes for the way we ride now.

Features may include:

• BLACKED-OUT STYLE

The Rebel is a blank canvas for your self expression and customization. But unlike the canvas you buy at the art store, this ones not boring white. As is, its blacked-out engine pieces, frame, and bodywork elements look great during the day and even better at night.

• LOW SEAT HEIGHT

When it comes to seat heights, almost everyone likes them lower. At just 27.2 inches, the Rebel has one of the lowest seats in anyones lineup. Its comfortable when you ride, and it makes it easier to flat-foot it at stoplights or in parking lots.

• SLIPPER/ASSIST CLUTCH

Introduced last year, this is technology first developed and perfected in Hondas racing machines. The slipper/assist clutch means you get a lighter clutch pull at the lever, but a solid lockup when you release the lever and apply power. Its technology that reduces clutch effort at the bar by about 30 percent.

• SPORTY ENGINE

Hondas are famous for their engines, and weve given the Rebel 300 a great one. First, the facts: its a single-cylinder with fuel injection, double-overhead cams and a counterbalancer. Because its a single, its light and super narrow, which helps reduce the overall bikes weight. It also offers the kind of torque and midrange power thats well suited for all levels of riders.
