2021 Honda Rebel 300 ABS

2021 Honda® Rebel 300 ABS

Honda’s Rebel models have always been a winning combination: They’re light; fun to ride; feature low seat heights; and give you legendary Honda quality. And here’s the best part—they do all that with a fresh; unique look that’s worlds apart from traditional cruisers. And where some cruisers are only fun when you’re 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 Honda’s rider-friendly slipper/assist clutch. And it’s 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 don’t—the 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 one’s 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 anyone’s lineup. It’s 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 Honda’s 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. It’s technology that reduces clutch effort at the bar by about 30 percent.

• SPORTY ENGINE

Hondas are famous for their engines; and we’ve given the Rebel 300 a great one. First; the facts: it’s a single-cylinder with fuel injection; double-overhead cams and a counterbalancer. Because it’s a single; it’s light and super narrow; which helps reduce the overall bike’s weight. It also offers the kind of torque and midrange power that’s well suited for all levels of riders.
